How to use the Shopify Fee Calculator
- Choose your store's country and plan. The calculator fills in that plan's 2026 price and card rates.
- Enter your average order value (what a customer pays at checkout) and roughly how many orders you get per month.
- Choose how customers pay. With Shopify Payments you pay one card fee. With another provider you pay that provider's fee plus Shopify's third-party transaction fee.
- Add product, shipping and other costs per order to see profit per order and per month.
- Try a different plan: if the cheaper card rate on a higher plan saves more than the extra monthly cost, it is worth upgrading.
How it is calculated
Payment fee (Shopify Payments) = card % × order value + fixed fee
Payment fee (other provider) = provider % × order value + provider fixed fee
+ Shopify third-party fee % × order value
Plan cost per order = monthly plan price ÷ orders per month
Shopify cost per order = payment fee + plan cost per order
Profit per order = order value − Shopify cost per order − your costs
The third-party transaction fee (2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced) is only charged when you do not use Shopify Payments. In India, where Shopify Payments is not available, every store pays it on top of its gateway's charge.

When does upgrading your Shopify plan pay off?
A higher plan costs more each month but charges a lower card rate. The upgrade pays for itself when your monthly sales are big enough that the saving on card fees beats the extra plan cost. Divide the extra monthly cost by the difference in card rates to find the break-even sales figure. For example, in the US Grow costs $66 a month more than Basic (monthly billing) and saves 0.2 percentage points per card payment, so it only pays off above about $33,000 of card sales a month, before counting any other features you need.
What this calculator does not include
Apps, themes, domain names, Shopify Shipping labels, currency conversion, chargebacks, Shopify POS hardware and taxes you collect are not included. Add the per-order cost of apps and packaging to "Apps, packaging & other per order" for a more complete picture.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Shopify charge per transaction?
With Shopify Payments in the US you pay 2.9% + 30¢ on Basic, 2.7% + 30¢ on Grow and 2.5% + 30¢ on Advanced for online card payments. There is no separate transaction fee on top when you use Shopify Payments.
What is the Shopify third-party transaction fee?
If you take payments through a provider other than Shopify Payments, Shopify charges 2% (Basic), 1% (Grow) or 0.6% (Advanced) of each order, on top of what your provider charges.
Is Shopify Payments available in India?
No. Indian stores use a third-party gateway such as Razorpay, Cashfree or PayU, so they pay the gateway fee plus Shopify's third-party transaction fee on every order.
How much does Shopify cost per month in 2026?
In the US: Basic $39, Grow $105 and Advanced $399 a month when paid monthly, or $29, $79 and $299 a month when paid yearly. UK, Canadian, Australian and Indian prices are in local currency; the calculator fills them in for you.
Should I include taxes in the order value?
Use the amount the customer pays at checkout, because card fees are charged on the full amount captured, including shipping and any tax you collect.
