Default
Enter the rate on your order, if any. Tax is calculated on the item price plus the shipping you charge the buyer. On many US marketplaces the platform collects and remits sales tax for you, but its fees can still be charged on the tax. We use this only to estimate fees; it is not tax advice. Check your order page or a tax professional.

How it works

eBay calculates the final value fee on the total amount of the sale, including shipping and sales tax, plus a per-order fee.

Promoted listings, store subscriptions and international fees are extra; add them as other costs.

The formula

  • Total = item price + shipping charged + sales tax
  • Final value fee = 13.6% × total up to $7,500 + 2.35% × total above $7,500
  • Per-order fee = $0.30 if total ≤ $10, else $0.40
  • Profit = item price + shipping charged − fees − label − item cost − other costs

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter price, shipping and tax.
  2. Check the rate for your category.
  3. Enter your costs.
