    How it works

    How the Shopify Shipping 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. 1Orders with free shipping = round(avgMonthlyOrders × percentQualify/100).
    2. 2Orders with paid shipping = avgMonthlyOrders − freeShipOrders.
    3. 3Free shipping fulfillment cost = freeOrders × (actualShippingCost + packagingCost).
    4. 4Paid shipping fulfillment cost = paidOrders × (actualShippingCost + packagingCost).
    5. 5Shipping revenue collected = paidOrders × shippingPaidByCustomer.
    6. 6Total fulfillment cost = freeCost + paidCost.
    7. 7Net shipping cost = totalFulfillmentCost − paidShippingRevenue.
    8. 8Cost per order = netShippingCost / avgMonthlyOrders when orders > 0.

    Formulas

    • FreeOrders = round(orders × qualify%)
    • PaidOrders = orders − freeOrders
    • FreeCost = freeOrders × (carrier + pack)
    • PaidCost = paidOrders × (carrier + pack)
    • ShippingRevenue = paidOrders × charge
    • TotalFulfillment = freeCost + paidCost
    • NetShipping = TotalFulfillment − ShippingRevenue
    • CostPerOrder = NetShipping / totalOrders

    Important assumptions

    • Orders qualifying = avgMonthlyOrders × percentOrdersQualify/100 rounded.
    • Free shipping total cost = qualifying orders × (carrier + packaging).
    • Paid shipping total cost = non-qualifying orders × (carrier + packaging).
    • Net shipping cost = total carrier+pack cost − shipping fees collected on non-qualifying orders.
    • Does not include returns or dimensional weight surcharges unless added to carrier cost.
