Shopify Profit Margin Calculator

Profit margin is the percentage of revenue that remains as profit after all expenses are deducted. It shows how much money you actually keep from each sale. The formula is:

Profit Margin (%) = (Net Profit ÷ Revenue) × 100

It is one of the most important metrics in e-commerce.

The calculator subtracts all costs from your total revenue to determine your net profit. It then converts that profit into a percentage to show your margin. This helps you quickly understand whether your product pricing is profitable.

You should include:

• Cost of goods sold (COGS)
  
  
• Advertising costs
  
  
• Shopify subscription and payment fees
  
  
• Shipping and fulfillment costs
  
  
• Refunds and returns (if applicable)
  
  

Missing costs will give you inaccurate profit results.

Knowing your profit margin helps you make smarter pricing and advertising decisions. Without it, you may scale revenue but lose money. Profit margin ensures your Shopify store is sustainable and scalable.

Most Shopify stores aim for a 20%–40% net profit margin. Dropshipping stores often operate on lower margins, while branded ecommerce businesses may achieve higher margins.
