Refund Drain

Your refund rate in euros, not percentages.

A 6% refund rate sounds manageable. But each refund costs you the COGS you already spent, the outbound shipping you already paid, and the payment fee Stripe doesn't give back — on top of returning the revenue. This tool converts that percentage into a monthly cash number.

Estimates only. Assumes uniform AOV and cost structure across refunded orders.
