How the Domain Flipping ROI Calculator works
Renewals are charged for each started year you hold the domain.
Net proceeds = sale price minus commission and escrow fees.
ROI = profit ÷ total cost. Annualized ROI converts it to a yearly compound rate.
The formula
Worked example
Using the default values shown in the calculator:
| Purchase price | $150 |
|---|---|
| Renewal cost per year | $12 |
| Years held | 1.5 |
| Sale price | $1200 |
| Marketplace or broker commission | 15 % |
| Escrow and transfer fees | $25 |
- Buy at $150 and renew for 2 started years ($24): cost $174.00.
- Sell at $1,200 less 15% and $25 escrow = $995.00. Profit $821.00, ROI 471.8%, annualized 219.8%.
Result:
| Total cost incl. renewals | $174.00 |
|---|---|
| Net proceeds after fees | $995.00 |
| Profit | $821.00 |
| ROI | 471.8% |
| Annualized ROI | 219.8% |
| Break-even sale price | $234.12 |
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to sell a domain?
Often months or years. Most domains never sell, so treat any single flip as one outcome among many and count the cost of the ones that do not sell.
What commission do marketplaces charge?
Commonly 15% to 20% of the sale price on domain marketplaces, plus escrow fees. Enter your actual rate.
