Calculator guide

Estimate the Shopify cost stack per order

Shopify cost can include card processing, third-party transaction fees when applicable, the monthly plan and paid apps. Allocate monthly fixed costs across a realistic monthly order count.

Payment rates and fixed fees vary by country, plan, card type and payment provider. Shopify Payments availability and third-party transaction fees also vary.

The result is platform cost before product, shipping, labor, taxes, refunds and advertising. Use the profit calculator for a complete order contribution view.

Low order volume makes fixed plan and app costs larger per order. Model both current and target volume.

  1. Calculate order revenue.
  2. Apply payment percentage and fixed fee.

Frequently asked questions

Shopify Fee Calculator FAQ

What should I verify before using this calculator?

Verify country, platform plan, product category, tax treatment, currency and the effective date of every rate.

How accurate is the result?

The arithmetic follows the displayed formula. Accuracy depends on complete inputs, current rates and consistent treatment of taxes, refunds, shipping and other costs.

Can I use another currency?

Yes. Keep every monetary input in the same currency. The calculator does not convert exchange rates.

Should tax be included in revenue?

Use one documented convention. For profitability analysis, many sellers use revenue excluding pass-through sales tax or VAT, but local accounting rules may differ.

How should I handle refunds?

Use expected refund and return costs in planning, then reconcile with actual platform reports. Do not count refunded revenue as retained sales.

Are platform rates guaranteed?

No. Platforms can change rates by country, plan, category, payment method or contract. Verify current official documentation before a pricing decision.

Are my inputs uploaded?

No. Calculator inputs are processed locally in the browser.
