Profit after Shopify + payment fees. The Shopify Profit Calculator takes selling price, product cost, shipping and packaging, payment processing rate, payment fixed fee per order, monthly plan cost, orders per month and returns profit per order plus monthly profit, payment fees per order, plan cost per order. Results update as you type, and the formula is shown under the result so you can repeat it in your own spreadsheet.
Online and retail margins are decided by the costs that are easy to forget: fees, shipping, returns, storage and advertising. Fill in every line, even with an estimate, before deciding what to sell and at what price. Use the worked example below to check the maths against your own figures.
How the Shopify Profit Calculator works
Shopify's fixed plan fee matters at low volume and fades as orders grow; payment processing scales with revenue. Add app subscriptions to the plan cost.
Worked example
With the example values (selling price of $60, product cost of $25, shipping and packaging of $6, payment processing rate of 2.9%, payment fixed fee per order of $0.30, monthly plan cost of $39, orders per month of 200), the profit per order is $26.77; monthly profit $5,353.00, payment fees per order $2.04, plan cost per order $0.20.
