How it works
Printful charges you the product price, any extra placements, and shipping. The calculator subtracts those and your selling fees from what the customer pays.
| Product | Printful price from | Checked |
|---|---|---|
| Unisex Staple T-Shirt (Bella+Canvas 3001) | $12.25 | 30 Sep 2026 |
| Unisex Heavy Blend Hoodie (Gildan 18500) | $22.75 | 30 Sep 2026 |
Example: the default numbers
- Customer pays
- $29.99 + $4.99 shipping = $34.98
- Payment fee (2.9% + 30¢)
- −$1.31
- Bella+Canvas 3001
- −$12.25
- Printful shipping (example)
- −$4.75
Profit is $16.67 an order, or about $2,000 a month at 120 orders.
Printful's shipping depends on the product and destination, so the $4.75 default is only an example. Check Printful's shipping page for your main market and enter that rate.
When the Growth plan pays for itself
Printful's Growth plan costs $24.99 a month and gives up to 33% off product pricing, according to Printful's pricing page. Printful also says the plan becomes free once you reach $12K a year in sales. The discount differs by product, so the calculator lets you test a figure.
At a 10% discount on a $12.25 tee you save $1.23 an order, so Growth pays for itself from 21 orders a month.
Things that change the price
- Sizes. 2XL and up cost more than the starting price.
- Extra placements. A back or sleeve print adds to every order. Enter it in Extra placements and add-ons.
- Currency. This calculator works in US dollars, the currency of the prices above.
