Find out where your Amazon cash went, which products quietly lose money, and how much you can safely pay yourself. One Excel workbook. One payment. Nothing connects to your seller account.
Instant download • Built for Microsoft Excel • Not a subscription
Seller Central shows strong sales. Then you check the bank account and card balances, and the numbers don't match. Usually the profit is real — the cash is just stuck somewhere, or leaking out through products that cost more than they earn.
Monthly sales in the sample business
Left after product cost, Amazon fees, ads and returns
Lost on every unit of one sample product selling 180 a month
Figures are the workbook's built-in sample data, not results from a real business.
Both are one-time digital downloads: a ZIP with the Excel workbook and a PDF quick-start guide, filled with labeled sample data so you can see every result before you enter your own numbers.
The Lite calculator is the same SKU tab that's inside the Full System.

Not for you if you want automatic bank or Seller Central syncing, bookkeeping, or tax filing. These are planning tools you update yourself.
One ZIP file containing the Excel workbook (.xlsx) and a PDF quick-start guide. It's an instant digital download; nothing physical ships.
Yes. The tools are designed for Microsoft Excel. Google Sheets and Apple Numbers have not been tested, so we can't promise they'll work correctly there.
No. You pay once and keep the file.
No. Nothing connects to Seller Central, your bank or any other account. You enter numbers from your own reports, and your data stays in your file.
No. These are self-service planning tools, not personalized financial, tax, legal or accounting advice. Results depend on the numbers you enter. Confirm decisions about taxes, debt and paying yourself with a qualified professional.
Each workbook comes filled with made-up example numbers so you can see how every result works. Type your own numbers over the yellow cells.
Lite answers "which products make money?" The Full System also answers "where did my cash go, when will it run short, and how much can I safely take?" Lite is the same SKU tab that's inside the Full System.
Because files are delivered instantly, we don't accept returns for a change of mind. If a file won't open or doesn't match its description, email profitablebutbroke@gmail.com within 14 days of purchase and we'll fix it or refund you.
You can use it within your own business, with your partners or bookkeeper. Please don't resell or redistribute it.
Profitable But Broke comes from hands-on e-commerce operating experience: selling on Amazon, sourcing products, setting prices, and managing shipping and freight. The tools answer the questions sellers ask when strong sales don't show up in the bank: which products actually make money, where the cash went, and how much is safe to take out.
Our mission is simple: help online sellers understand why revenue and accounting profit don't always turn into available cash.
Instant Excel download. One payment. No account connections.

Educational, self-service planning tools. Not financial, tax, legal or accounting advice, and no particular result is promised. Images show sample data. Not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Amazon.
