Teespring (Spring) Profit Calculator
Spring / Teespring creator profit — selling price minus the product base cost per unit, campaign volume, and the boosted-network or marketplace fee that applies to marketplace sales.
How it works
profit per unit = selling price − base cost; marketplace sales additionally pay fee % × price; campaign profit = Σ unit profit − ad spend
Spring charges no listing fees: the base cost per product covers printing and fulfilment, and everything above it is yours on sales you drive yourself. Sales that come through Spring’s marketplace or boosted network carry a fee (historically around 20%) to pay for that traffic. The base cost also drops as a campaign’s volume rises, so large drops earn more per unit than the first few sales.
Worked example
$24.99 tees with a $10.75 base earn $14.24 each. Of 50 units, 15 marketplace sales pay $74.97 in fees; after $100 of ads the campaign clears $537.
Frequently asked questions
Do I pay when a campaign fails?
No — there is no charge for unsold designs, and most products print per order rather than needing a minimum.
How does YouTube merch shelf change things?
It counts as your own traffic (no marketplace fee) but you may share revenue with YouTube depending on the programme.
