Overview
Use this eBay Store Fee Calculator to estimate your selling fees, net payout, and profit from a sale. Enter your item price, shipping charged to the buyer, product cost, shipping expense, and the fee rate you want to apply.
How it works
The calculator adds your item price and buyer-paid shipping to get gross revenue. It then applies your percentage-based final value fee and fixed order fee to estimate total selling fees. After that, it subtracts your product cost and actual shipping cost to estimate profit. This gives a simple way to compare pricing and see how fees affect your margins.

Frequently asked questions
What does this eBay Store Fee Calculator estimate?
It estimates your selling fees, net payout after fees, profit, and profit margin for an eBay sale based on the values you enter.
Does eBay charge fees on shipping charged to the buyer?
In many cases, selling fees are applied to the total amount paid by the buyer, which can include shipping. This calculator includes buyer-paid shipping in gross revenue for that reason.
Can I use this calculator for every eBay category?
Yes, but you need to enter the fee rate that fits your category or selling setup. Actual rates can differ across categories and account types.
Does this include promoted listing fees or subscription costs?
No. This version focuses on the percentage fee, fixed order fee, shipping cost, and item cost. You can manually adjust your inputs if you want to account for extra costs.
Why is profit different from net payout?
Net payout is what remains after selling fees only. Profit goes further by also subtracting your item cost and actual shipping cost.
