A Shopify profit calculator estimates the net profit from each Shopify sale after deducting product cost, shipping, credit card processing fees, and monthly platform subscription costs.
Formula and example
Transaction cost = Selling price x Transaction fee % / 100; Net profit per unit = Selling price - Product cost - Shipping - Transaction cost; Annualized = (Net profit x 100 - Subscription) x 12
A $60 item that costs $25, with $8 shipping, 2.9% transaction fee, and $29/mo plan yields $25.26 net profit per unit. At 100 units/month, annualized profit is $29,964.

Methodology & assumptions
Last updated: 2026-06-12Calculation method
Calculates per-unit profit by deducting product cost, shipping, and credit card processing fees from the selling price. Annualized profit multiplies per-unit profit by your monthly units sold (default 100), subtracts the monthly Shopify subscription, and annualizes over 12 months.
Data sources
Uses the numbers you enter and standard small-business finance formulas. Benchmark comparisons use HustleFin industry benchmark pages where available.
Limitations
Does not include app subscriptions, theme costs, domain fees, advertising spend, or returns. Annualized profit assumes constant monthly unit sales — enter your own units-per-month estimate for an accurate figure.

How do I reduce Shopify fees?+
Use Shopify Payments to avoid additional transaction fees. Upgrade plans lower the credit card processing rate. Calculate whether the lower rate on a higher-tier plan offsets the higher monthly cost based on your sales volume.
