From cost price to
profitable limit

You enter the cost price per product. Advindix combines this with the current selling price from Bol, your advertising costs and your organic revenue — and works out the rest automatically.

Gross margin percentage

(selling price − cost price) / selling price × 100

How much of each sale is left after purchasing, shipping and packaging costs.

Safe TaCoS threshold

gross margin% × 0.5

The TaCoS level at which half of your margin stays profit. Below this you are safe.

Break-even TaCoS

= gross margin%

The point where all margin goes to advertising. Above this you run at a loss.

Profit or loss,
at a glance

Every product gets a clear status based on its current TaCoS relative to the calculated thresholds.

Profitable

Current TaCoS is below the safe threshold — room to scale up.

Caution

Current TaCoS is between the safe threshold and break-even.

Loss-making

Current TaCoS exceeds the gross margin — this product is costing money.

Organic revenue included

Advindix combines advertising data with organic order data for a complete picture of real TaCoS.

How the margin calculation
works exactly

Advindix combines three data points — cost price, current selling price and ad costs — to calculate three critical margin figures.

Gross margin

(selling price − cost price) / selling price × 100

How much of each euro of revenue remains after purchasing, shipping and packaging costs. The selling price is automatically fetched from Bol.

Example: €14.95 − €6.20 = €8.75 profit → 58.5% gross margin

Safe TaCoS threshold

gross margin% × 0.5

The TaCoS level at which half of your gross margin still remains as profit. Advertise below this level and you always keep at least 50% of your margin.

Example: 58.5% × 0.5 = 29.3% safe threshold

Break-even TaCoS

= gross margin%

The point where all margin fully goes to ad costs. Above this point you make a loss on every product sold.

Example: break-even TaCoS = 58.5% (= gross margin)

Profitable or loss-making,
at a glance

Every product automatically gets a color status based on current TaCoS versus the calculated thresholds. Use these statuses to filter products or trigger Smart Rules.

Profitable

Current TaCoS < safe threshold

More than half the gross margin stays as profit. There is room to increase bids or scale the product further.

Scale this product up →

Caution

Safe threshold ≤ TaCoS < break-even

Ad costs consume more than half the gross margin, but you are not yet at a loss. Optimise bids or use a Smart Rule to bring costs down.

Set up a Smart Rule →

Loss-making

Current TaCoS ≥ gross margin (break-even)

Ad costs exceed the full gross margin. Every product sold costs you money net. Reduce bids, pause campaigns or revise the cost price.

Correct immediately →

Link statuses to Smart Rules

Use the margin status as a trigger in a Smart Rule: automatically reduce bids when a product becomes "Loss-making", or increase budget when a product is "Profitable" and there is room to scale.
