Shopify fees are the plan subscription plus payment processing on every order, and an extra transaction fee if you use a third-party gateway instead of Shopify Payments.
What is the Shopify Transaction Fee Calculator?
This free Shopify transaction fee calculator shows how much Shopify takes per sale and per month. It combines your plan subscription, payment processing fees, and any third-party transaction fee into one clear monthly number, plus the effective rate against your revenue.
How this calculator works
Pick your Shopify plan and whether you use Shopify Payments or a third-party gateway, then enter your average order value and monthly orders. The tool applies the correct processing rate and fixed fee per order, adds the plan fee, and divides by your revenue to show your effective fee rate.
How to read your result
The headline is your estimated total monthly Shopify fees. The rows break out the fee per order, monthly processing fees, any third-party transaction fees, your plan fee, and the effective rate. If the rate looks high, switching to Shopify Payments or matching your plan to your volume usually helps.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Shopify take per sale?
On the Basic plan with Shopify Payments it is about 2.9% plus $0.30 per online order, with lower rates on higher plans. A third-party gateway adds an extra Shopify transaction fee. Enter your details above for your exact numbers.
How do I avoid Shopify transaction fees?
Use Shopify Payments instead of a third-party gateway to avoid the extra transaction fee; you still pay standard processing. This calculator shows the difference between the two options.
Do higher plans save money?
They can. Higher plans cost more per month but lower your processing rate, so above a certain order volume they pay for themselves. Compare your numbers on both plans to see your break-even.
