How to Track Your Sales and Profit (Beginner)

Selling on Vinted, Depop or Leboncoin?
This guide shows you how to track what you buy and sell, and see your real profits — without any accounting knowledge.

Goal: Know how much you earn per item and track your margin easily.

What You Need to Track

You'll need two simple tables:
one for purchases, and one for sales.
You can do this in Excel, Google Sheets, or directly in Tissuco.

1. Your Purchased Items

Each row = one item you bought.

• SKU (unique ID, e.g. TSHIRT001)
• Purchase date
• Purchase price
• Extra costs (shipping to you, cleaning, Vinted boost, etc.)
• Storage location (optional)

2. Your Sales

Each row = one sale.

• SKU
• Sale date
• Sale price
• Discount (if you offered one)
• Extra fees (like a paid boost or shipping you covered yourself)

Keep things updated — even a few entries a week make a difference.

Basic Formulas (for Excel or Sheets)

Here are simple formulas you can copy and paste.

• total_cost_per_item = purchase_price + extra_costs
• net_profit = sale_price - total_cost_per_item
• margin_% = IF(sale_price>0; net_profit / sale_price; 0)
• days_to_sell = sale_date - purchase_date

Example (Excel layout)

Formulas to copy:

• =J2+E2 → total cost per item
• =(C2-D2)-(J2+E2) → net profit
• =IF(C2>0;((C2-D2)-(J2+E2))/C2;0) → margin %
• =B2-L2 → days to sell

Example Table

Net profit formula:
(net_profit) = (sale_price - discount) - (purchase_price + fees)

Your Simple Routine
