Why Revenue Is Not Profit

Shopify shows you revenue. But revenue is not profit. Here is what most store owners miss.

What Shopify Shows You

  • Total revenue (gross sales)
  • Number of orders
  • Average order value
  • Conversion rate

What You Actually Need

  • Net profit after all costs
  • Profit per product
  • Cost breakdown (COGS, ads, shipping, fees)
  • Which products are losing money

Typical Shopify store cost breakdown:

Product Costs (COGS)30–40%
Ad Spend15–30%
Shipping & Fulfillment8–15%
Transaction Fees3–6%
What most stores actually keep10–25%

How to Calculate Real Profit for Your Shopify Store

Follow this formula to understand your true profitability.

Net Profit = Revenue − COGS − Ad Spend − Shipping − Fees

1

Start with your total Shopify revenue

This is your gross sales from the Shopify dashboard — the total amount customers paid.

2

Subtract your cost of goods sold (COGS)

What you paid your supplier for each product. This is usually 30–40% of revenue for most Shopify stores.

3

Subtract your advertising costs

Facebook Ads, Google Ads, TikTok Ads, influencer payments — everything you spend to acquire customers.

4

Subtract shipping and fulfillment

Postage, packaging, 3PL fees, returns processing. These costs add up quickly.

5

Subtract transaction fees

Shopify Payments takes 1.5–2.9% + card processing fees. These are easy to overlook.

Doing this manually every month is tedious and error-prone.
ProfitBoard does it automatically for every product, every order, every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is this Shopify profit calculator?

This calculator gives you a useful estimate based on the numbers you enter. For precise, real-time profit tracking that pulls directly from your Shopify store data, use ProfitBoard — it calculates profit per product and per order automatically.

What is a good profit margin for a Shopify store?

Most successful Shopify stores aim for 15–30% net profit margin after all costs. Below 10% is thin and risky. Above 30% is excellent. The key is knowing your actual margin — not guessing.

What costs should I include when calculating Shopify profit?

Include product costs (COGS), advertising spend, shipping and fulfillment costs, Shopify subscription fees, payment processing fees, app subscription costs, and any other operational expenses. Most store owners underestimate their total costs by 15–25%.

How is ProfitBoard different from using a spreadsheet?

Spreadsheets require manual data entry, are error-prone, and go stale immediately. ProfitBoard syncs with your Shopify store automatically, calculates profit per product in real-time, and alerts you when margins drop or costs spike.

Does ProfitBoard work with my Shopify store?

Yes. ProfitBoard is built specifically for Shopify stores. It connects to your Shopify admin, imports your orders and products, and calculates real profit automatically. Works with any Shopify plan.
