Default
Enter the rate you charge, if any. Tax is calculated on the item price plus the shipping you charge the buyer. On your own store you are usually the one responsible for collecting and remitting sales tax; it passes through you, so it isn't counted as profit, but card fees are charged on it. This is not tax advice; check with a tax professional.

How it works

Card rates drop on higher plans. Apps, themes, domains and third-party payment fees are extra; add them as other costs.

The formula

  • Processing = 2.9% × (price + shipping + tax) + $0.30 (we assume tax is charged to the card)
  • Plan cost per order = monthly plan ÷ orders per month
  • Fees = processing + plan cost per order

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter price, shipping and tax.
  2. Check your plan's card rate.
  3. Enter orders per month and your costs.
