Shopify setup costs UK: make the numbers work

All prefilled amounts are fictional examples, not Shopify prices. Enter your actual plan, fees and costs. Assumes one item per order and no VAT calculation. Your pay, tax, advertising and unsold stock need their own allowance.

Contribution is not take-home profit

Contribution is the money left from an order after its direct costs. Monthly overheads still come out of that amount. If contribution is zero or negative, extra sales do not solve the problem: change your costs, price or product first.
