About this block

What Margin Pays For splits the $40 margin into five ruled rows with amounts on the right in tabular-nums: free repairs under guarantee $9 (the actual 2025 average, not a projection), free returns both ways $6, bench wages between repairs $11 (the team is salaried whether the queue is full or quiet), warranty reserve $4, and the last row named plainly “What is left” at $10, profit stated without apology. The footer commits to recomputing every January from the year just closed.

Margin lines are one array. The profit row, named without euphemism, is the block’s honest anchor.

When to use

Reach for this block directly after the cost breakdown bars so the margin line from that block lands here with its full itemization. The 2025 averages must be updated each January or the footer commitment is broken.

A natural flow around it on an Ecommerce Pro page:

Before

• Cost breakdown bars

After

• Repair service sections
• Returns sections

What you can display

One strong use is the tote margin five. Other margin itemizations:

• Subscription product. Support, hosting, on-call, and the reserve that funds the feature roadmap.
• Handmade goods. Tool amortization, studio overhead, and the unpaid design hours recovered over a run.
• Service business. Admin, insurance, equipment maintenance, and the profit that keeps the doors open.

Tip: naming profit as a line item without apology, “it is why we are still here,” closes the block more honestly than any softening would.
