Frequently Asked Questions
What costs does the calculator include?
The calculator accounts for purchase price, annual renewal costs multiplied by years held, marketplace commission, listing fee, development costs (hosting, design, content), and any other custom costs you want to label yourself. All of these are subtracted from the sale price to produce your net profit.
What is annualized ROI and why does it matter?
Annualized ROI converts your total return into an equivalent yearly rate. This lets you compare a 2-year hold against a 6-month flip on equal terms. A 300% ROI over 5 years is a much slower return than 300% ROI in 6 months — annualized ROI makes that immediately clear.
What is a good ROI for a domain flip?
Any positive ROI means you made money. Our grading scale treats 10–25% as modest, 50–100% as good, 100–200% as excellent, and anything over 200% as exceptional. Above 500% earns the legendary "S" grade. Most successful flips land in the B to A range.
How is the marketplace commission calculated?
The commission is applied as a percentage of the final sale price, not the profit. For example, Afternic Fast Transfer charges 20%, so a $1,000 sale results in a $200 commission fee. Different platforms charge different rates — Afternic Standard is 15%, Dan.com is 9%, and private sales have no fee at all.
Why is my gross profit different from my net profit?
Gross profit is simply your sale price minus your purchase price — it ignores all fees. Net profit is what you actually keep after subtracting every cost: renewals, marketplace commissions, listing fees, and any other expenses you entered. Net profit is the number that really matters.
