Free planning tool

Shopify true-cost calculator

A subscription price is only one line in the budget. Build a more useful first-year estimate with the costs you actually expect.

Prices vary by country, billing term, promotions, payment provider, and tax. The defaults are USD planning assumptions checked July 13, 2026—not a quote. Confirm the current price on Shopify before purchasing.

How to use the estimate

Run three versions: a lean case with free apps and theme, a realistic case, and a stress case with the tools you may add after launch. If the business only works in the lean case, validate demand before committing to a larger stack.

Do not confuse operating cost with total business cost. Inventory, packaging, creative production, advertising, returns, accounting, and tax can be much larger than the storefront software.
