    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

    1. 1TotalShippingCost = printifyShippingRates + packagingMaterials.
    2. 2ShippingProfit per paid order = chargedToBuyer - totalShippingCost.
    3. 3FreeOrders = round(avgMonthlyOrders * percentOrdersFree / 100).
    4. 4PaidOrders = avgMonthlyOrders - freeOrders.
    5. 5PaidRevenue = paidOrders * chargedToBuyer.
    6. 6PaidCost = paidOrders * totalShippingCost.
    7. 7FreeCost = freeOrders * totalShippingCost.
    8. 8NetMonthly = paidRevenue - paidCost - freeCost.

    Formulas

    • TotalCost = PrintifyRate + Packaging
    • PerOrderProfit = Charged − TotalCost
    • FreeOrders = monthly × free%
    • NetMonthly = (paid × charged) − (paid × totalCost) − (free × totalCost)

    Important assumptions

    • Printify rate taken from provider catalog for product and destination.
    • Packaging added only if you use extra materials beyond Printify default.
    • Free shipping percent estimated from order value distribution vs threshold.
    • Paid orders are total monthly minus free shipping orders.
    • Monthly net combines paid shipping revenue minus paid shipping costs minus free shipping costs.

    Worked example

    Standard tee shipping

    Charge $4.99, Printify rate $4.99, packaging $0.50, 50 orders, 20% free shipping.

    Total shipping cost $5.49. Per paid order you lose $0.50. Free orders 10, paid 40. Paid revenue $199.60, paid cost $219.60 loss $20, plus free cost $54.90, net monthly shipping loss $74.90. Raise buyer charge to $5.99 or packaging to zero to break even.
