Formula and method
Shopify Payments online standard card snapshot:
Basic 2.9%+$0.30; Grow 2.7%+$0.30; Advanced 2.5%+$0.30; Plus displayed starting rates vary
third_party_transaction_fee if NOT Shopify Payments: Basic 2%, Grow 1%, Advanced 0.6%, Plus 0.2%
processing_fee = selected_rate*sale + fixed
profit = sale - processing_fee - third_party_transaction_fee - cogs - fulfillment - allocated_subscription_cost
The implementation uses the audited A10 — Seller / E-commerce Profit method. Intermediate values retain calculation precision; the interface formats values only for display unless the formula itself specifies a rounding rule.
Worked example
Inputs: Basic; Shopify Payments; Online domestic standard card; Sale=$100; COGS=$40; Other costs=$0
Result: Processing fee=$3.20; Profit=$56.80; Margin=56.80%
This is the baseline audited scenario used to check that the page, formula, and displayed result remain aligned.
How to interpret the result
The calculator reports Processing/platform fee; payout; profit; margin. Treat the output as a scenario estimate: it changes when the entered scope, time period, fee basis, or cost definition changes. It does not establish a universal benchmark or guarantee a business outcome.
Assumptions and limitations
-
The result is limited to the inputs and A10 — Seller / E-commerce Profit logic shown on this page.
-
Results are informational planning estimates, not accounting, tax, legal, employment, valuation, or investment advice.
-
Values are processed in the browser and are not submitted to an application server.
Common mistakes
-
Plan/card type.
-
international +1%.
-
third-party provider fee is in addition to provider’s own processing fee.

Rounding intermediate values before completing the formula can change the final result.
-
A worked example is not a default recommendation; replace every assumption that does not match your case.

How this calculator was created and tested
- Formula basis: the public formula is generated from the audited implementation specification for this calculator, not inferred from a search snippet or an AI answer.
- Validation coverage: 2 of 2 release test vectors are marked Audited for this calculator. The suite covers a normal scenario plus boundary or invalid-input behavior where defined.
- Regression behavior: build checks compare expected outputs, validation states, route integrity, structured data, internal links, and release blockers before publication.
- Automation and AI: automation or AI may assist drafting, organization, and regression work, but it is not treated as an authoritative source and does not override the audited formula, official rate registry, or release blockers.
- Editorial responsibility: MIASIN S.R.O. controls publication, source policy, corrections, and release decisions. No named individual expert review is claimed unless a page explicitly identifies one.
