How to calculate Auction House Profit calculator?

This calculator estimates your gold profit by subtracting material costs and the auction house fee from the sale price.

Key formula: auction_house_fee = selling_price * (auction_cut_percent / 100); net_profit = selling_price - cost_of_materials - auction_house_fee

Example values: cost_of_materials = 120 Gold, selling_price = 350 Gold, auction_cut_percent = 5%
