5. Calculating Your Gross Profit Per Shirt

Part 5 • Zero-Risk Profit Margins for a T-shirt

Based on our example:

<ul> <li><strong>Revenue from Customer:</strong> $25.00</li> <li><strong>Cost of Goods Sold (Printify):</strong> $8.90</li> <li><strong>Gross Profit:</strong> $25.00 - $8.90 = $16.10</li> </ul> So, for every T-shirt you sell at $25, you are directly pocketing **$16.10 in profit**. This is before any platform fees (if using Shopify), but for a Printify Pop-Up, this is effectively your net profit per unit. This profit margin is substantial and demonstrates the financial viability of this model, even for a single item.
