Calculate Shopify profit per order, then compare plan, payment and transaction costs across your Shopify setup.
US plan and standard card-rate examples checked 4 September 2026. Verify your country, card type and account rates.
Example starting values only. Replace with the rates that apply to your plan, country and payment provider.
Use 0 if none applies to your payment setup.

Use your monthly sales, order volume and editable plan assumptions to compare modeled Shopify costs across Basic, Grow and Advanced.
Switch between U.S. monthly billing and annual billing. When Yearly is selected, plan prices are shown as the effective monthly price when billed annually. You can still edit every plan value manually.
0% = all modeled sales use Shopify Payments.
Third-party transaction fees are applied only to the gateway share entered above. Plan prices below update when you change billing term, and remain editable.
| Plan | Monthly Plan $ | Payment % | 3rd-party Fee % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | % | % | |
| Grow | % | % | |
| Advanced | % | % |
The order model treats selling price as revenue and subtracts the costs that belong to that order: product cost, fulfillment, payment processing, any applicable third-party transaction fee, refund reserve, advertising CPA, allocated monthly apps, and other per-order costs. This keeps gross sales separate from contribution profit.
ROI in the summary is calculated as modeled profit divided by total modeled order cost. It is a scenario metric, not an accounting return measure. The calculator keeps Shopify fee assumptions editable because plan pricing and payment charges vary by market and setup.
Suppose a store sells a product for $30. Product cost is $9, fulfillment is $4, ad CPA is $6, and other order cost is $0.50. Use an example 2.9% + $0.30 online card rate, a 3% refund reserve, and $90 of monthly apps spread across 300 orders ($0.30 per order). With no third-party transaction fee, payment processing is $1.17 and the modeled refund reserve is $0.90. Total modeled cost is $21.87, leaving $8.13 net profit and a 27.1% net margin. Non-ad costs are $15.87, so break-even CPA is $14.13 and break-even ROAS is about 2.12×.
| Current US example | Basic | Grow | Advanced |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly billing | $39/mo | $105/mo | $399/mo |
| Annual effective monthly | $29 | $79 | $299 |
| Online standard card rate from | 2.9% + 30¢ | 2.7% + 30¢ | 2.5% + 30¢ |
| Third-party transaction fee | 2% | 1% | 0.6% |
Interpret the plan table as a reference point rather than a recommendation. A lower card rate can be offset by a higher subscription if order volume is small, while a higher monthly plan can become economically reasonable at larger volumes. The separate plan-comparison model on this page is designed to test that tradeoff with your own monthly sales and gateway mix.
Official Shopify pricing checked September 25, 2026. Rates can differ by country, card type, payment method, and account terms. Verify the current Shopify pricing page before relying on a default.
No. Rates vary by plan, country, card type, payment method, and whether a third-party payment provider is used. Use the editable fields to match the rates shown in your Shopify account.
Break-even ROAS is modeled revenue divided by the maximum advertising cost the order can absorb before profit reaches zero. A higher required ROAS means less room for advertising spend.
Only once. You can allocate the effective monthly plan charge across expected monthly orders or keep it in a separate monthly-profit model. Do not subtract the same subscription in both places.
No. The calculator is a planning model. Add relevant costs through the editable fields and compare the output with actual Shopify billing, payment, refund, and advertising data.

Under the guide’s hypothetical $50 order model, contribution is $11.75 before monthly overhead. With $150 fixed costs, 50 orders produce $437.50 monthly profit, while 200 produce $2,200. Both cases assume identical variable costs.
Count subscriptions once: either allocate them into order profit or subtract them at the monthly level. Replace example payment rates with the terms applicable to your store.
