The Shopify fee calculator compares all Shopify plans to find the most cost-effective option for your sales volume. Enter your monthly revenue to see total fees and which plan saves the most money.
How to Choose the Right Shopify Plan
The Shopify fee calculator shows total monthly cost at your sales volume. The "best" plan isn't always the cheapest monthly rate — it's the one where total fees (subscription + processing) are lowest at your revenue level.

FAQ
What are Shopify's monthly fees in 2025?
Basic: $39/month (2.9% + $0.30 Shopify Payments, 2% third-party). Shopify: $105/month (2.6% + $0.30, 1% third-party). Advanced: $399/month (2.4% + $0.30, 0.5% third-party). Starter: $5/month (social selling only).
Should I use Shopify Payments or a third-party processor?
Using a third-party like Stripe on Shopify Basic adds 2% transaction fees on top of Stripe fees. With Shopify Payments, you avoid the extra transaction fee. The math: Stripe 2.9% + 2% Shopify fee = 4.9% effective rate. Shopify Payments: 2.9%. Use Shopify Payments unless you have a specific reason not to.
When should I upgrade Shopify plans?
Upgrade when the monthly fee difference is offset by lower transaction fees. Basic to Shopify: saves 0.3% in processing + 1% in third-party fees. At $105 extra/month, you need $35,000/month in Shopify Payments volume to break even on processing savings alone.
