Profit margin formula (worked example)
Net profit = Selling price − Product cost − Shipping − Ad spend per unit − Shopify fees.
Profit margin % = (Net profit ÷ Selling price) × 100.
Markup % = ((Selling price − Product cost) ÷ Product cost) × 100.
📱 Example: Phone case (USD)
Yearly = $12.82 × 20 units/day × 365. Sales tax is usually collected from buyers and remitted — not kept as profit.
This example is pre-loaded in the calculator so you never land on empty fields or a misleading −$0.30 fee-only result. Change any input and the margin, markup, and projections update instantly.
Local rules: US sales tax, Shopify fees & USD
Currency: USD. Platform fees: Shopify Payments on Basic is commonly 2.9% + $0.30 online; Shopify and Advanced plans reduce the percentage. Monthly plans (Basic $39, Shopify $105, Advanced $399) are fixed costs — fold them into break-even analysis with our break-even calculator.
Sales tax: After South Dakota v. Wayfair, many states require collection once you hit economic nexus (often $100,000 sales or 200 transactions). Shopify can automate collection; tax is typically pass-through, not margin. Use the sales tax field to model remittance, not to inflate “profit.”
Ad spend: Divide monthly ad cost by units sold for a realistic per-unit CPA. Ignoring ads is the #1 reason “good margins” disappear in Meta Ads Manager.
How to use this Shopify profit calculator
Enter product cost, selling price, shipping, and ad spend per unit. Keep or edit the default Shopify fee rate. Set daily units for projections. Read net profit and margin first — if margin is thin, raise price, cut CPA, or renegotiate COGS before you scale spend.
For campaign efficiency, open the ROAS calculator next. For fixed monthly costs (plan + apps), use the break-even calculator. Together they cover unit economics, ads, and overhead for USA Shopify sellers — free, no sign-up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Real questions sellers ask about this calculator and local costs.
What is a good profit margin for a Shopify store in the USA?+
A healthy net margin for US Shopify stores is usually 20–40% after product cost, shipping, ads, and Shopify fees. Below 10% is risky once advertising scales. Physical goods often land at 15–30%; digital or POD can reach 40%+.
How do you calculate profit margin percentage?+
Profit margin % = (Net Profit ÷ Selling Price) × 100. Net profit should subtract product cost, shipping, ad spend per unit, and Shopify Payments fees (for example 2.9% + $0.30 on Basic). This calculator does that automatically.
What are Shopify fees in the USA?+
Shopify fees include your monthly plan (Basic $39, Shopify $105, Advanced $399) plus Shopify Payments transaction fees — typically 2.9% + $0.30 on Basic, lower on higher plans. Third-party gateways add extra transaction fees.
Does sales tax reduce my profit margin?+
For most US sellers, sales tax is collected from the buyer and remitted to the state, so it is a pass-through. It should not be treated as your revenue. Compliance tools and nexus rules still matter once you cross state thresholds.
What is the difference between margin and markup?+
Margin is profit ÷ selling price. Markup is profit ÷ product cost. A $20 cost sold at $40 is 50% margin and 100% markup. This tool shows both so pricing stays accurate.
Can I use this for Shopify dropshipping in the USA?+
Yes. Enter supplier cost as product cost, shipping from AliExpress/DSers in shipping, and Facebook or Google CPA as ad spend per unit. Adjust the fee fields to match Shopify Payments or your gateway.
What ROAS do I need to stay profitable?+
Break-even ROAS ≈ 1 ÷ gross margin. At 40% gross margin, break-even is about 2.5x. Most US stores target 3x–5x on Meta/Google. Pair this page with our ROAS calculator.
Are calculator results exact accounting numbers?+
No — they are educational estimates. They omit returns, chargebacks, app subscriptions, and wages unless you fold those into your inputs. Use them for pricing decisions, then reconcile in your books.

How we calculate
For USA: we treat sales tax as a separate collection field (pass-through for most sellers). Platform fee = (price × fee%) + fixed fee. Net profit = price − product − shipping − ads − platform fee. Margin = net profit ÷ price. Daily/monthly/yearly multiply by units sold.
