About Shopify Fee Calculator

Hosted commerce platforms charge a fixed monthly fee plus payment processing on every sale. Because the fixed element is spread over orders, cost per order falls sharply with volume while the processing rate stays constant.

Formula

Platform cost

Total = plan fee + sales × processing rate; cost per order = total / orders

Worked example

With the default values below, Shopify Fee Calculator returns Total Monthly Platform Cost of $31,300.00. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.
