Monthly sales = daily orders × average ticket × 30. Loss lines come from that sales figure and the stated assumptions.

Why you need this

Losses rarely show up as one line. Wrong orders, delivery commission, manual entry and paper checks each look small, then add up by month-end.

This tool rolls those pieces up from your daily pace into monthly and annual totals. It is for fast awareness, not formal accounting.

How it is calculated

Monthly orders = daily orders × 30. Monthly sales = monthly orders × average ticket. Error loss = sales × error rate. Delivery commission loss = sales × delivery share × commission rate.

Manual work cost uses an assumed minutes-per-order and hourly labor rate. Paper-check cost uses an assumed amount per order. A small reconciliation gap is added as a share of delivery commission. Assumptions are noted under the result.

How to read the result

Monthly loss is the sum of the four components. Annual loss is that figure × 12. The lines are estimates; move the sliders if your contract, labor cost or error rate differs.

This tool is for information only. Talk to your advisor for formal loss, tax or audit decisions.

What does the error rate represent?

It is an estimate for voids and returns from wrong items, wrong quantities or manual entry. Tune it to your history.

How is manual entry cost calculated?

Assumed minutes per order are multiplied by an hourly labor rate. Defaults are 1.2 minutes and $18/hour, also noted under the result.

What is the commission reconcile gap?

A cautionary slice of delivery commission for gaps that appear during platform reconciliation.
