Profitability and taxes
The Profitability tab in the analytics answers a question Vinted never asks: how much is left at the end?
First, set your regime
The settings are right there in the tab.
Tax regime:
| Regime | What Vintedge calculates |
|---|---|
| Micro-entrepreneur | Social contributions as a percentage of turnover, plus tax if you opted for the flat-rate payment |
| Sole trader (actual, IR) | A combined contributions + tax rate applied to the net result, minus your monthly charges |
| Company (corporate tax) | Corporate tax — 15% up to €42,500 of annual result, then 25% — minus your monthly charges |
VAT scheme: VAT-exempt (franchise) · Margin scheme · Standard VAT. Depending on your choice, you fill in the rate applied and, under standard VAT, the deductible rate on your purchases (usually 0 for second-hand bought from private individuals).
Under the micro-entrepreneur regime, the contribution rate for reselling goods in France is 12.3%. Leave income tax at 0 if you did not opt for the flat-rate payment.
This is an estimate, not a tax return. On regimes other than micro-entrepreneur, a badge reminds you: your real charges and your own pay are not tracked by Vintedge. The figure is an order of magnitude for steering, not an accounting document. Your accountant remains indispensable.
The monthly table
One row per month, and depending on your regime:
| Column | What it is |
|---|---|
| Number of sales | Over the month |
| Monthly revenue | Turnover |
| Monthly profit | Revenue minus the cost of the items sold |
| VAT | If your regime provides for it |
| Contributions / Contrib. + tax / Corp. tax | Depending on the regime |
| Net profit | What is left for you |
| ROI | Return on investment |
| Net margin | As a percentage |
| Multiple | How many times you multiplied your stake |
With a Total row at the bottom.
The coverage warning
At the top of the table, a sentence of the form:
34 sales out of 51 have a linked purchase price (78% of revenue). The profit and the ratios only cover those; revenue counts every sale.
Read it before drawing conclusions. If only half your sales have a known cost, the margin shown covers that half. Revenue, on the other hand, is complete.
To improve that coverage, there is only one thing to do: link your sales to your stock. See Link your sales to your stock.
An All / Costed only toggle lets you look at the costed sales alone.
How to read these figures
Net margin is the only figure that tells you whether the business is worth the time it takes.
The multiple is the most telling one for judging a sourcing run: buying at €3 and reselling at €24 is a multiple of 8. Compare your suppliers on that.
Monthly ROI says how fast your money turns over. A high ROI on a small volume is often better than a low ROI on a large volume, because you can reinvest faster.
And do not forget the average time to sell on the Stock page: it completes these ratios. A magnificent margin on an item that sleeps for a year is not a good deal.
