How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your monthly revenue, COGS, and select your Shopify plan.

- Use the With Apps tab to add marketing and app expenses.
- The Professional tab includes refunds, shipping, and full P&L with annual projection.
Formula
Net Profit = Revenue − COGS − Plan Fee − Processing Fee − Shipping − Apps − Ads − Refunds
Processing Fee = Revenue × Rate% + Orders × $0.30
Example
$10K revenue, $4K COGS, Shopify plan: $10K − $4K − $105 − $290 = ~$5,605 gross before shipping/ads.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Shopify charges a monthly subscription ($39 Basic, $105 Shopify, $399 Advanced) plus payment processing fees (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction for Basic via Shopify Payments, lower on higher plans). Using third-party payment processors adds an extra 0.5–2% transaction fee.
- After all fees (COGS, Shopify fees, payment processing, shipping, ads), a healthy Shopify store targets 10–30% net margin. High-volume stores with lower COGS (e.g., dropshipping) often see 5–15%, while private label with strong brand pricing can exceed 30%.
- Shopify Payments charges 2.9% + $0.30 (Basic), 2.6% + $0.30 (Shopify plan), or 2.4% + $0.30 (Advanced) per transaction. Using PayPal or Stripe instead adds an additional 0.5–2% Shopify transaction fee.
- Upgrade when the reduction in payment processing fees exceeds the plan cost increase. Moving from Basic to Shopify ($66/mo more) saves 0.3% on processing — so at $22,000+ monthly revenue, the upgrade pays for itself.
