How does the calculator work?

The calculator takes the base fee of your selected plan and adds the payment fees per sale. With Shopify Payments that is the card rate plus $0.30 per order; with an external provider, Shopify's transaction fee comes on top. From your monthly revenue and average order value we derive your order count and, from that, the total cost per month and year.

Frequently asked questions about Shopify costs

The essentials on plans, fees and payment processing.

How much does Shopify cost per month?
The base fee ranges from $29/month (Basic, annual) through $79 (Shopify Grow) to $299 (Advanced); Plus starts at around $2,300/month. On top come payment fees per sale. The calculator shows the realistic total for your revenue.

What additional fees does Shopify charge?
With Shopify Payments you pay 2.9%, 2.7% or 2.5% plus $0.30 per card payment, depending on the plan. If you use an external payment provider, Shopify adds a transaction fee of 2%, 1% or 0.6% (0.2% on Plus), which is waived with Shopify Payments.

Is Shopify Payments worth it versus an external provider?
In most cases yes, because the additional Shopify transaction fee disappears. Switch the payment method in the calculator and you see the difference for your revenue directly in dollars.

How accurate are the calculated costs?
The calculator uses the public Shopify prices for the US (as of 2026) and gives solid guidance, not a binding quote. App costs or individual Plus terms are not included.
