eBay Fees Calculator

Every eBay sale loses a slice to fees. The final value fee is the biggest, but payment processing and insertion fees stack on top, and together they can take more than a sixth of what the buyer pays.

Values update as you type. This calculator covers the single scenario its formula assumes — see Common Mistakes for what it leaves out.

The formula this calculator uses

Net payout = (Price + Shipping) - Final value fee - Payment processing - Insertion fee

Price: Item price
Shipping: Shipping charged to the buyer
FVF: Final value fee rate for the category
Processing: Payment processing rate plus fixed fee

How to check the result by hand

1
Add the item price and shipping
The total sale is what the buyer pays, and it is the base for the final value fee.
2
Apply the final value fee
Multiply the total sale by the category rate, for example 13.25 percent.
3
Add payment processing
Apply the processing percentage to the total sale and add the fixed fee per order.
4
Add the insertion fee
Include any listing charge for the item.
5
Subtract the fees from the total sale
What remains is the net payout before the seller's own shipping and cost of goods.
