Shopify Fee & Profit Results
💡 Standard Shopify Formulas
This Shopify fee calculator works out what a store pays Shopify each month. It adds the plan price to the card fees on your sales, and to the third-party transaction fee if you use a payment provider other than Shopify Payments. It then shows the same total on the Basic, Grow and Advanced plans, so you can see which plan is cheapest at your level of sales.
Shopify Fees by Plan
| Basic | Grow | Advanced | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plan price, paid monthly | $25 | $65 | $399 |
| Plan price per month, paid yearly | $19 | $49 | $299 |
| Online card rate | 2.9% + 30¢ | 2.7% + 30¢ | 2.5% + 30¢ |
| In-person card rate | 2.6% + 10¢ | 2.5% + 10¢ | 2.4% + 10¢ |
| Third-party transaction fee | 2% | 1% | 0.6% |
The card rates are for Shopify Payments in the United States. The plan prices are in US dollars as listed on shopify.com/pricing on 3 October 2026. Shopify lists other prices in some countries, and the calculator lets you replace them with your own.
How Shopify Fees Are Calculated
Every card payment has two parts: a percentage of the amount and a fixed fee per order. The fixed fee is why the number of orders matters. A store that takes $10,000 in 100 orders pays 100 fixed fees, and a store that takes $10,000 in 500 orders pays 500.
With a third-party provider the formula changes. You pay the provider's own rate, and Shopify adds its third-party transaction fee on top:
Worked Example
A store on the Grow plan, paid monthly, takes $30,000 in 500 online orders through Shopify Payments.
| Item | Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Plan price | Grow, paid monthly | $65.00 |
| Card percentage | $30,000 × 2.7% | $810.00 |
| Fixed fees | 500 × $0.30 | $150.00 |
| Total | $1,025.00 |
That is 3.42% of sales, or $2.05 an order. On Basic the same sales cost $25 + $870 + $150 = $1,045, and on Advanced $399 + $750 + $150 = $1,299. Grow is the cheapest of the three at this level.
When a Higher Plan Costs Less
A higher plan costs more each month and takes a smaller share of each sale. It becomes the cheaper plan once the saving on card fees is larger than the extra plan price. Divide the difference in price by the difference in rate to find that point.
| Move | Extra plan price | Rate saved | Cheaper above |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic to Grow, Shopify Payments | $40 a month | 0.2% | $20,000 a month |
| Grow to Advanced, Shopify Payments | $334 a month | 0.2% | $167,000 a month |
| Basic to Grow, third-party provider | $40 a month | 1% | $4,000 a month |
| Grow to Advanced, third-party provider | $334 a month | 0.4% | $83,500 a month |
These figures use the listed monthly prices and online sales. Yearly billing, in-person sales and different local prices all move the point, which is why the calculator compares the plans with your own numbers. Price is also not the only difference between plans: each one adds features, and a store may need those before the fees alone justify the move.
Shopify Payments or a Third-Party Provider
Shopify Payments is Shopify's own card processing. Orders paid through it carry no third-party transaction fee. It is not available in every country, and a store outside those countries has to use another provider. In that case two fees apply to each sale: the provider's own charge and Shopify's third-party transaction fee. On Basic, a provider that charges 2.9% + 30¢ costs 4.9% + 30¢ in total. Because the third-party fee falls from 2% to 1% on Grow, stores that cannot use Shopify Payments reach the point where Grow is cheaper much sooner.
How to Use the Shopify Fee Calculator
- Enter your sales: Type your monthly revenue and number of orders. The number of orders matters because part of every card fee is a fixed amount per order.
- Choose a plan and billing: Pick Basic, Grow or Advanced, and monthly or yearly billing. If Shopify shows you a different plan price, type it in the price boxes.
- Choose how you take payment: Pick Shopify Payments, or a third-party provider and enter that provider's own rate. Enter the share of sales made in person if you sell with Shopify POS.
- Read the comparison: The results show the plan price, the card fees and the total, and the same total for the other plans.
The optional cost boxes take your product cost, shipping and apps, and turn the result into a profit figure. To check whether advertising still pays after these fees, use the Break-Even ROAS Calculator. Sellers on other platforms can use the Etsy Fee Calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Shopify take per sale?
With Shopify Payments in the United States, an online card payment costs 2.9% + 30¢ on Basic, 2.7% + 30¢ on Grow and 2.5% + 30¢ on Advanced. On a $50 order on Basic that is $1.45 + $0.30 = $1.75. The monthly plan price is charged separately.
What is the Shopify third-party transaction fee?
It is a fee Shopify charges when a payment goes through a provider other than Shopify Payments: 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow and 0.6% on Advanced. It is added to whatever that provider charges. It is not charged on orders paid through Shopify Payments.
Are in-person fees lower than online fees?
Yes. With Shopify POS and Shopify Payments in the United States, an in-person card payment costs 2.6% + 10¢ on Basic, 2.5% + 10¢ on Grow and 2.4% + 10¢ on Advanced.
When is it worth moving from Basic to Grow?
At the listed monthly prices Grow costs $40 more than Basic and takes 0.2% less of each online card payment. $40 ÷ 0.002 = $20,000, so Grow becomes the cheaper plan above about $20,000 of online sales a month. With a third-party provider the difference is 1%, and the point falls to $4,000.
Why is the plan price here different from the one Shopify shows me?
Shopify lists different plan prices in different countries, and it changes them from time to time. The calculator starts with the prices on shopify.com/pricing on 3 October 2026. Type your own prices into the three price boxes and every figure is recalculated.
Does the calculator cover Shopify Plus and Starter?
No. Shopify Plus starts at $2,300 a month and its card rates are agreed with each merchant, so there is no published rate to calculate from. The Starter plan is not shown on the main pricing page. The calculator covers the three plans with published rates.
Are there other Shopify costs?
Yes. Paid apps, a paid theme, a domain name and shipping labels are billed separately. Shopify also charges a currency conversion fee when a payment is made in another currency: 1.5% for stores in the United States and 2% elsewhere. Enter your monthly app cost in the calculator to include it in the total.
