What Is Instant Deal Metric Recalculation?

Instant deal metric recalculation means that when you change any cost or product variable – like COG, package quantity, shipping, or fees – your profit, ROI, and margin update immediately, without re-uploading the file or reprocessing the list. In Seller Assistant's Price List Analyzer, recalculation happens directly inside the analyzed table, in real time.

This matters because Amazon deal economics are sensitive to small changes. A $0.50 increase in supplier cost, a newly discovered prep fee, or a multipack listing can completely flip a deal from profitable to unviable. Without instant updates, sellers rely on static spreadsheets or outdated assumptions, which leads to false positives and bad buying decisions.

Example

• A product shows $4 profit at PQ = 1.
• You realize the Amazon listing is a 2-pack.
• The moment you change PQ to 2, COG and tax double – and profit instantly drops to $0.80.

That single update can save you from ordering a losing deal.

Why Instant Deal Recalculation Matters for Amazon Sellers

Amazon deals are rarely static. Supplier prices change, prep requirements appear, shipping assumptions shift, and many listings turn out to be multipacks.

When your profitability data doesn’t update immediately, you’re making sourcing decisions based on outdated numbers. Instant deal recalculation removes that risk by showing the real economics of a deal the moment something changes – before you commit to inventory.

Prevents false profitable deals

Small cost changes can erase profit fast. Real-time recalculation exposes deals that only look profitable on paper before they turn into losses.

Saves hours on large price lists

Instead of re-uploading files or rebuilding spreadsheets, sellers adjust inputs once and see updated results instantly across the list.

Improves buying accuracy

Accurate profit, ROI, and margin updates help sellers size orders correctly and avoid overcommitting to weak deals.

Supports real-world sourcing workflows

Instant updates match how sellers actually work – reviewing, adjusting, and validating deals on the fly while analyzing thousands of SKUs.

How Instant Deal Recalculation Works in Price List Analyzer

Instant deal recalculation in Price List Analyzer happens directly inside the analyzed price list. When you adjust costs, quantities, or fees, the system immediately recalculates profit, ROI, margin, and break-even values for every affected product – without re-uploading the file or restarting the analysis. The only element that cannot be changed is the selling price calculation method; everything else updates dynamically.

Package quantity support in profit calculations

Price List Analyzer accounts for package quantity to reflect real deal economics. If a listing is a multipack, setting PQ to 2 automatically multiplies COG by 2 and recalculates tax using the updated cost. These calculations are visible in the profit tooltip, so you can see exactly how the numbers are formed. To prevent distorted results, PQ values of 100 or more are reset to 1 by default. At this stage, changing PQ updates COG and tax, which then drives all profitability metrics.

Inline editing with real-time updates

Sellers can edit key fields directly in the UI table by hovering over a product row. Editable fields include COG, package quantity, hazmat and oversize fees, shipping (per item or per lb), general and fragile prep, and miscellaneous fees. Any change triggers an instant recalculation of all related values, and edits are saved automatically. If needed, a Revert button lets you roll back changes and restore original data.

Centralized cost settings and bulk recalculation

For list-wide updates, sellers can open Cost Settings from the price list and adjust shipping, taxes, DSF, and additional fees in one place. After clicking Save, the system recalculates every product in the file using the updated logic. During this process, visual indicators show recalculation progress, and some fields are temporarily locked to ensure accuracy.

Cost consistency across tools

When you edit COG directly in the price list, that value carries over to Seller Assistant Browser Extension. If you open the Amazon product page, you’ll see the same COG reflected there, keeping your data consistent across bulk analysis and individual product research.

How to Recalculate Your Metrics with Price List Analyzer

Manually updating deal numbers might work for one or two SKUs, but it quickly falls apart when you’re reviewing real supplier price lists. Hundreds or thousands of products, changing costs, multipacks, and new fees make static spreadsheets slow and unreliable.

Price List Analyzer solves this by enabling instant deal recalculation. Any time you change costs, quantities, or fees, all key metrics update immediately across your entire price list, so your decisions are always based on current data.

How Price List Analyzer works

Built for instant recalculation at scale

Price List Analyzer is designed for sellers working with large supplier files. It processes your spreadsheet, matches each product to the correct Amazon ASIN, and continuously recalculates profit, ROI, margin, and break-even values whenever inputs change.

Keeps your deal data accurate

Once uploaded, your price list is enriched with dozens of cost, fee, and performance metrics. When you adjust COG, package quantity, shipping, prep, or other fees, the system instantly recalculates all related metrics – no re-uploading and no manual formulas.

Handles large files without delays

Instead of recalculating deals SKU by SKU, Price List Analyzer updates thousands of rows at once. You immediately see how cost changes impact profitability and can filter out deals that no longer meet your targets.

FAQ

Does instant recalculation update all metrics automatically?

Yes. When you change costs, package quantity, or fees, Price List Analyzer instantly updates profit, ROI, margin, and break-even values for affected products. No re-upload or manual refresh is required.

Which fields can trigger instant recalculation?

Editing COG, package quantity, shipping, prep fees, hazmat or oversize fees, taxes, DSF, and miscellaneous fees will trigger real-time updates. Notes and supplier SKU changes do not affect calculations.

Can I recalculate metrics for the entire price list at once?

Yes. You can update logistics, taxes, and fees through Cost Settings, and the system will recalculate all products in the file automatically.

How does package quantity affect profitability calculations?

Package quantity multiplies COG and adjusts tax to reflect the true cost of multipack listings. This ensures profit and ROI are based on what you actually pay per Amazon unit sold.

Will my changes carry over to other Seller Assistant tools?

Yes. When you edit COG or related costs in Price List Analyzer, those values are synced with Seller Assistant Extension, keeping your data consistent across bulk and single-product research.

Final Thoughts

Instead of relying on static spreadsheets or reprocessing files, you can adjust assumptions in real time and immediately see how they impact deal economics.
