How to use this calculator

Enter order revenue, product cost, fees plus plugin allocation, and shipping plus advertising cost. The calculator estimates net profit, margin, and store health.

What the result means

WooCommerce revenue can look healthy while profit is weak because plugins, payment processing, fulfillment, and ads reduce contribution margin.

Net Profit = Revenue - Product Cost - Fees - Plugins - Shipping - Ads. Profit Margin = Net Profit / Revenue × 100.

A margin above 25% is strong, 10% to 25% is manageable, and below 10% needs urgent optimization.

Example calculation

With $120 revenue, $45 product cost, $9 fees/plugins, and $22 shipping/ads, net profit is $44 and margin is 36.7%.

Tips for better results

  • Allocate monthly plugin costs across actual orders.
  • Track payment fees separately from marketing costs.
  • Improve AOV before increasing ad spend.

FAQ

How do I calculate profit for a WooCommerce store?

Subtract product cost, payment fees, plugin costs, shipping, packaging, and ad spend from order revenue, then divide profit by revenue for margin.

What is a good profit margin for WooCommerce?

Many stores aim for at least 20% to 30% net margin after fulfillment, payment fees, plugins, and marketing costs.

Why is my WooCommerce store revenue high but profit low?

Profit may be reduced by payment fees, plugin subscriptions, shipping subsidies, discounting, returns, and advertising costs.

How much should WooCommerce stores spend on ads?

Ad spend should be based on contribution profit, conversion rate, AOV, and repeat purchase value, not revenue alone.

How do I improve WooCommerce profit margin?

Increase AOV, reduce product cost, optimize shipping, remove unused plugins, improve conversion rate, and reduce unprofitable ads.
