The plan with the lowest monthly price is often not the cheapest one to run. Enter your traffic and order value to see what each Shopify plan really costs you in a year.
Calculator
What the calculation covers.
Three numbers decide which plan costs least. The calculator works out each one for every plan.
Payment processing
The card rate and per-order fee for Shopify Payments, or your own gateway's rate plus Shopify's extra transaction fee. Both fall as the plan goes up.
Upgrade points
The yearly sales level where the next plan's lower fees save more than its higher subscription, so you know when a change starts to pay for itself.
Left out: apps, themes, shipping, staff, taxes and negotiated Plus contracts.
How it works.
Yearly sales are worked out as sessions × conversion rate × average order value × 12. That figure is run through every plan twice, once for the subscription and once for payment fees, and the two are added together to rank the plans.
An upgrade point is the level of yearly sales where the next plan's lower payment fees save more than its higher subscription costs.
Assumptions

- Domestic cards. International and currency conversion surcharges are not included.
- Traffic and conversion stay steady across the year.

- Prices exclude VAT, GST and sales tax.

/ Worked example
A store selling about £1.1m a year.
The calculator opens with this example: 60,000 sessions a month, a 2.2% conversion rate and a £70 average order. That is about 1,320 orders a month and £1,108,800 in yearly sales.
Basic has the lowest monthly fee, but its card rate is the highest. With yearly billing and Shopify Payments, Grow comes out cheapest at about £23,398 a year, roughly £2,966 less than staying on Basic. Change the numbers above to see where your own store lands.
Questions about the calculator.
-
Why isn't the cheapest plan always Basic?
Higher plans charge more each month but take a smaller cut of every card payment. Once your sales pass a certain level, the lower card rate saves more than the extra subscription costs. The calculator finds that point for your numbers.
-
What if I use Razorpay, PayPal or another payment gateway?
Choose "Another payment gateway" and enter your gateway's rate. Shopify adds its own transaction fee on top when you don't use Shopify Payments, and that fee falls as the plan goes up, so the result can change a lot.
-
Is the Shopify Plus price exact?
No. Plus is shown at its starting list price. Most Plus contracts are agreed with Shopify directly and depend on your sales and term, so treat the Plus line as a guide and ask for a quote before deciding.
-
Are taxes included?
No. Prices are shown before VAT, GST or sales tax. Apps, themes, shipping and staff costs are also left out, so the total covers only what Shopify and your payment provider charge.
