Print-on-Demand Tools (2026)

Profit calculators for print-on-demand sellers. Product base costs verified against Printify and Printful pricing pages (July 2026 — approximate, always verify).

Print-on-demand profit depends on three stacked costs: the provider's base product cost, shipping, and whatever your selling platform (Etsy, Shopify, or your own site) charges on top. It's easy to price a product using only the base cost and end up with a thinner margin than expected once shipping and platform fees are included. The calculators below let you plug in the actual numbers for your provider and platform combination before you commit to a price.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tools does Marginory offer for print-on-demand sellers?
Five free calculators: a universal POD Profit Calculator (choose your provider and selling platform), dedicated Printify and Printful profit calculators, a POD Shipping Calculator for US domestic rates, and an Etsy POD Profit Calculator that layers Etsy's fees on top of POD costs.
Are these POD calculators free?
Yes, all five are free with no sign-up. Enter your product, base cost, and selling price to see net profit instantly.
Should I use Printify or Printful?
It depends on the product and your margin target — base costs and shipping rates differ per item. See our Printify vs Printful profit comparison for a side-by-side breakdown across t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, and posters using your own sale price.
Is Printify Premium or Printful Growth worth the monthly fee?
Printify Premium ($39/mo, $24.99/mo billed annually) and Printful's Growth plan ($24.99/mo) both reduce per-item base costs. Whether they pay for themselves depends on your monthly order volume — see our Is Printify Worth It guide for the math.
Do these calculators account for selling platform fees too?
The universal POD Profit Calculator and Etsy POD Profit Calculator both include selling platform fees (Etsy or Shopify) alongside the POD base cost and shipping, so you see true net profit, not just the margin over the POD provider's cost.
How accurate are the base costs shown here?
Base costs and shipping rates are checked against Printify and Printful's published pricing pages as of July 2026, but both providers adjust pricing by product, blank supplier, and region. Always verify current pricing before finalizing your own product pricing.
Which platform should I sell POD products on — Etsy or Shopify?
Etsy gives you built-in search traffic but charges more per sale in aggregate fees; Shopify has a monthly subscription but lower per-order fees at volume. See our Etsy vs Shopify for POD comparison for the break-even order volume.
