    How it works

    How the Shopify Pricing 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

    1. 1Total physical costs = productCost + shippingCost + packagingCost.
    2. 2Total effective fee percent = shopifyTransactionPercent + additionalFeesPercent.
    3. 3Total fixed fee = shopifyTransactionFixed.
    4. 4Recommended price = (totalCosts + fixedFee + targetProfit) / (1 - feePercent/100).
    5. 5Fee at recommended price = recommendedPrice × feePercent + fixedFee.
    6. 6Net profit at recommended = recommendedPrice − totalCosts − feeAtRecommended.
    7. 7Effective margin = net profit / recommended price × 100.

    Formulas

    • TotalCosts = product + shipping + packaging
    • Fee% = txn% + additional%
    • Recommended = (TotalCosts + fixed + targetProfit) / (1 − Fee%)
    • FeesAtPrice = Recommended × Fee% + fixed
    • NetProfit = Recommended − TotalCosts − FeesAtPrice
    • Margin = NetProfit / Recommended × 100

    Important assumptions

    • Recommended price solves: price = (costs + fixedFee + targetProfit) / (1 - feePercent).
    • Total effective percent fee = transactionPercent + additionalFeesPercent.
    • Shipping charged to buyer is not modeled separately; recommended price is product price.
    • If combined percent fees approach 100%, recommended price goes to infinity — calculator caps validation below 100%.
    • Taxes, refunds, discounts, and subscription amortization are not included.
