Traceable formula
- Shopify Payments: payment fee = price x selected plan and rate type + fixed fee.
- Third-party provider: add the selected plan third-party transaction fee and any external processor fee.
- Plan fee allocation = selected monthly plan fee / monthly order volume x quantity.
- GST/HST/PST/QST is not included in profit or break-even math.
- Net profit = revenue - product cost - shipping - ads - platform fees.
Compliance note
Canadian sellers should account for GST/HST/PST/QST registration, product taxability, marketplace collection rules, and whether prices include tax. This calculator models Shopify platform and payment costs only.
FAQ
Does this calculate Canadian sales tax?
No. Canadian GST/HST/PST/QST obligations depend on registration status, province, product taxability, and marketplace collection rules. Use the linked CRA source for tax checks.
Are in-person card and Interac rates included?
Yes. Shopify Canada pricing lists in-person card and Interac rates, so this calculator exposes them as selectable Shopify Payments rate types.
