ROAS guardrail

Contribution before ads is zero or negative — fix price or non-ad costs before scaling paid traffic.

What this result means

Margin is positive but fragile. Small changes in ad cost or fees can wipe out profit.

  • Compare this baseline against one optimistic and one conservative scenario.
  • Track fee, shipping, and ad-cost assumptions weekly before scaling spend.
  • Copy results and share with pricing or acquisition owners for sign-off.

What this Canada ecommerce revenue calculator covers

Use customer-paid selling price in CAD as your revenue input. GST/HST collected on behalf of customers is usually pass-through — exclude it from profit unless your model treats tax differently. Focus net profit on product cost, shipping, payment or marketplace fees, optional ad spend, and return reserves.

  • Revenue input: final checkout price per order after discounts, before refunds
  • Payment fees: Stripe, PayPal, or Shopify Payments as commission % or fixed
  • Shipping: Canada Post, courier labels, or 3PL per-order allocation
  • Other costs: return reserve, packaging, subscriptions amortized per order

GST/HST and provincial context

Most Canadian ecommerce sellers remit GST/HST on taxable supplies. For unit economics, keep tax out of profit unless you deliberately model fully-loaded revenue. If you offer tax-inclusive pricing, back out the tax portion before comparing net margin across provinces.

  • GST 5% federally; HST blends vary by province (e.g. ON 13%, BC 12% PST+GST)
  • Cross-border USD sales: model FX and international card fees in commission or other costs
  • Free shipping promos: raise shipping or other costs when labels exceed what customers pay

Canadian seller scenarios to model

Run three passes: base (current rates), conservative (+10% shipping or +0.5 pp on fees), and stress (higher return rate or CAC). Compare net profit margin and break-even ROAS before scaling Meta or Google spend in Canada.

  • Shopify CAD store with domestic shipping
  • Marketplace listing with referral + payment stack
  • Cross-border US fulfillment into Canada with higher shipping

Common Canada-specific mistakes

Mixing tax-inclusive revenue with pre-tax COGS inflates margin. Another miss is ignoring inter-provincial shipping zones when averaging label cost per order.
