You know what it cost. Say what you want to make, and this gives you the lowest price that gets there, after fees and the postage you pay.
Break-even is your floor. It is what you must get back to have lost nothing, and it is where a price drop should stop. The target price is where to start: it leaves the profit or margin you asked for once the platform takes its cut and you pay the postage.
If the price it gives you is more than the item will sell for, the calculator has told you something useful before you list: the buy was too dear for the margin you want, and the choice is a thinner margin or a quicker sale at the price the market pays. Better to know that now than after forty days on the rail.
The margin field and the profit field are two ways to say the same thing. Fill in one. If you fill in both, you get both prices, and the higher is the safer one to list at.

The lowest price at which you get back everything the item cost you, after the platform's cut and the postage you pay, with nothing left over. Anything below it is a loss; it is the floor for a price drop, not a target.
Both are useful. A profit target says what the flip is worth to you in cash. A margin says how much room the price has before a return, a lost parcel or a discount turns it into a loss. Many resellers set a minimum margin and a minimum profit, and list at whichever is higher.
The calculator gives you the exact penny, but buyers see round numbers and a £23.17 listing reads as odd. Rounding up keeps you above your target; rounding down puts you under it.
It sits on top of your price, so it changes what the buyer sees, not what you receive. Leave the seller fee at zero for a standard Vinted sale. If you want to know what the buyer will see, the fees calculator does that.
Vintify records what every item cost when you buy it, so what you need to list at is one glance on the item, and once it sells the real profit is worked out from the actual sale price and fees.
