Divide monthly fixed costs by contribution per order. Contribution is selling price minus variable costs and fees.
What fixed costs should be included?

Is Shopify break-even the same as store profit?
No. Break-even shows the order volume needed to cover fixed costs. Profit shows what remains after costs at a given sales level.
