How to use this calculator
Enter your values in one currency. The result updates as you type. Check the fee and tax assumptions before using it for a pricing decision, then download a PDF if you want a record.
How the result is calculated
Payment percentage and fixed charges are calculated separately from third-party transaction fees. Allocate your monthly plan and apps through overhead if useful. No store integration or universal payment rate is assumed.
Worked example
A £30 sale with an entered 2% + £0.25 gateway charge costs £0.85 in payment fees before product costs and any other charges.
What should I include in my costs?
Include the costs that change with the item or order: materials, purchasing, making time, packaging, fulfilment and applicable fees. Allocate wider overhead separately. An omitted cost will make the estimate look better than it should.
Does this calculate my tax liability?
No. Entered tax treatment is an assumption for this calculation. The tool does not determine VAT registration, sales-tax nexus, tax rates by location or business income taxes. Check unusual situations with a qualified adviser.
Can I use USD?
Yes. Choosing US inputs uses dollars without converting amounts. Country-specific presets only apply where explicitly stated. Changing a symbol does not establish a platform fee or tax rule.
Questions about this calculation
Are Shopify payment rates the same for everyone?
Country, plan, card type and payment arrangement can change the applicable charge. Enter the current rate from your settings, and add a separate third-party transaction fee only when required.
Where do Shopify plan and app bills belong?
Recurring bills are overhead. Use a documented per-order allocation if you want an operating estimate, and keep the actual monthly costs visible. Avoid counting an allocated cost and the same bill twice.
