Margin is workable but tight
A 12.8% margin gives you $3.20 per order. It can work for volume products, but you will want to build in more cushion before scaling ads or offering discounts. Increasing price by $2 would move margin to roughly 20.8%.

How it works
Methodology & formulas
This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.
Calculation steps
- 1Revenue is calculated as retail price multiplied by quantity.
- 2Printify costs combine base production cost plus shipping cost, both multiplied by quantity.
- 3Platform fees are revenue times marketplace percent plus fixed fee per order.
- 4Additional costs combine marketing cost and packaging add-ons times quantity.
- 5Total costs are printify costs plus platform fees plus additional costs.
- 6Net profit equals revenue minus total costs.
- 7Profit margin equals net profit divided by revenue.
- 8Break-even price solves for retail price that makes net profit zero.
Formulas
- Revenue = retailPrice × quantity
- Printify costs = (printifyBaseCost + shippingCost) × quantity
- Platform fees = revenue × platformFee% + platformFeeFixed
- Additional costs = (marketingCost + packagingAddOns) × quantity
- Total costs = printifyCosts + platformFees + additionalCosts
- Net profit = revenue − totalCosts
- Profit margin = netProfit ÷ revenue × 100
Important assumptions
- Printify base cost and shipping should be taken from your provider catalog for the exact product, print provider, and destination.
- Platform fee percent covers your sales channel take rate. For Etsy use ~6.5% transaction plus payment processing, for Shopify use ~2.9% + $0.30.
- Marketing cost is your estimated ad spend divided by expected orders for this product.
- Packaging add-ons only apply if you add branded inserts, stickers, or custom packaging beyond Printify's default.
- Taxes, currency conversion, and Printify Premium subscription are not included in per-order profit.
- Always confirm provider costs in Printify before setting live retail prices.
