Shopify Break Even Calculator

Calculate how many units a Shopify store needs to sell to cover fixed costs after product, payment, shipping, and ad costs.

Enter fixed costs, price, variable cost, and ad cost.

Fixed costs divided by contribution margin per unit.

What this tool does

This calculator shows how many units your Shopify store needs to sell before fixed costs are covered. It makes margin pressure obvious before ads politely set your cash on fire.

How to use it

Enter monthly fixed costs, selling price, variable cost per unit, and ad cost per unit. Include app subscriptions, fulfillment tools, and recurring services in fixed costs.

How to read the result

If break-even units are higher than realistic demand, fix pricing, contribution margin, or ad efficiency before scaling traffic.

Try Profit Calc free on Shopify App Store. Then compare traffic economics with the Ad ROAS Calculator and bundle economics with the Bundle Profit Calculator.
