What Does the Cost Per Item Mean on Shopify?

What is the cost per item?

  • The cost per item represents how much you paid for the product/variant. You can use this example to show you how much it costs you to resell a product or variant.
    If you are selling a phone case, the actual price of the phone cover + shipping cost $1 = $6 per item. You can make $4 profit by selling it for $10.

Formula= ([price – cost] / price) * 100)
The item’s price is $10
Manufacturing cost = $6
Total Margin = (( 10 – 6) / 10) X 100) = 40% of your Profit (Margin).

Learn how Shopify calculates the cost per item

The cost per item is the price you pay for the product, or any variant. If you sell a product, you can enter the price you paid to the manufacturer , including shipping and taxes. If the product was created by you, you can add a value based on your labor costs and material costs.

The product details page will show the margin for each product with a price and cost. If your price is $50, and your cost is $30 then the margin is ([50-30] / 50) / 100) 40%.
