Margin is too thin for sustainable growth
At 0.0% margin, you keep only $16.65 per order. This leaves almost no room for returns, ads, or offsite ad attribution. Even a $1 increase in costs would cut profit by 6% if you cannot raise price.

How it works
How the Shopify Margin Calculator works
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 = salePrice × quantity.
- 2Product cost = productCost × quantity.
- 3Shipping and packaging are summed per order.
- 4Payment fees = revenue × transactionPercent/100 + fixedFee.
- 5Additional fees = revenue × additionalFeesPercent/100.
- 6Subscription per order = monthlySubscription / avgMonthlyOrders when orders > 0, else 0.
- 7Gross profit = revenue − product cost.
- 8Total costs = product + shipping + packaging + paymentFees + additionalFees + subscriptionPerOrder.
- 9Net profit = revenue − totalCosts.
Formulas
- Revenue = salePrice × quantity
- PaymentFees = revenue × txn% + fixed
- AddlFees = revenue × additional%
- SubPerOrder = plan / avgOrders
- GrossProfit = revenue − productCost×qty
- NetProfit = revenue − productCost×qty − shipping − packaging − paymentFees − addlFees − subPerOrder
- GrossMargin = grossProfit / revenue × 100
- NetMargin = netProfit / revenue × 100
- Markup = (salePrice − productCost)/productCost × 100
Important assumptions
- Transaction percent is applied to order revenue to model Shopify Payments.
- Additional fee percent covers optional app or sales channel take rates; defaults to 0%.
- Monthly subscription is spread evenly: subscriptionPerOrder = planCost / avgMonthlyOrders.
- If avgMonthlyOrders is 0, subscription per order is treated as 0 to avoid division by zero.
- Taxes, refunds, chargebacks, and currency conversion are not included.
- Always verify live Shopify Payments rates for your country and plan.
