Understand profit breakdowns

Profit breakdowns explain how QMT calculates profit for a product or store. They are useful when the total profit number changes and you need to understand why.

Profit cost breakdown popover with revenue, fees, ad costs, and purchase costs — Profit breakdown shows the major revenue and cost components behind the profit total.

Common components

Revenue: product sales and related order revenue.
Amazon fees: referral fees, FBA fees, and other marketplace fees.
Other order fees: additional order-level fees returned by Amazon reports.
Recurring fees: recurring Amazon charges such as storage-related fees where available.
Ad costs: advertising spend synced from Ads API.
Purchase costs: product cost maintained in QMT.
Custom costs: additional costs entered by your team.

Why totals may update later

Profit-related fees may arrive after orders and units. A recent order can appear quickly while some fees and refunds settle later.
