How is this calculated?
Sale amount = Item price + Shipping charged (this is your revenue)
Final value fee = Sale amount × FVF % ÷ 100
eBay fees = Final value fee + Fixed fee + Promoted fee + Other fee
Net profit = Revenue − (product + shipping cost + eBay fees + other)
Break-even item price = the item price where net profit is zero, accounting for the percentage fees
How eBay fees affect profit
Because the final value fee is a percentage of the whole sale — including shipping — raising your shipping charge also raises the fee. Seeing net profit after fees helps you price the item and shipping together.
Shipping charged vs. shipping cost
What the buyer pays for shipping is revenue and is part of the fee base; what you actually pay the carrier is a cost. Keeping the two separate shows whether your shipping is helping or hurting the margin.
Promoted listings
Promoted-listing ad fees only apply when a promoted click leads to a sale, and they stack on top of the final value fee. Include your ad rate to see the true cost of promotion on each sale.
Use your own rates
The result is only as accurate as the fees you enter. Pull your category's final value fee and any promoted rate from eBay rather than relying on the example defaults.
Frequently asked questions
What is an eBay fee calculator?
It works out eBay's selling fees and your net profit, margin, ROI, and break-even price on a sale after the final value fee, fixed fee, and your own costs. You enter your fee rates, so it matches your account.
What fees does eBay charge sellers?
The main charge is the final value fee — a percentage of the total sale amount — plus a fixed fee per order. Optional promoted-listing ad fees and other charges may also apply. Your product and shipping costs are on top of eBay's fees.
What is the final value fee?
The final value fee is eBay's commission when an item sells, charged as a percentage of the total amount the buyer pays, including shipping. The exact percentage depends on the category, so enter the rate that applies to yours.
Does eBay charge fees on shipping?
Yes. The final value fee is generally calculated on the total sale amount, which includes the shipping the buyer pays. This calculator adds shipping charged to the item price before applying the fee.
What is a promoted listing fee?
Promoted listings charge an additional ad fee — a percentage of the sale — when a buyer clicks your promoted item and purchases. Enter your ad rate to include it; leave it at zero if you do not promote.
How do I calculate eBay profit?
Take the item price plus shipping charged, subtract eBay's fees, then subtract your product cost, actual shipping cost, and any other costs. What remains is your net profit for the sale.
Where do I find my eBay fees?
Your final value fee percentage, per-order fixed fee, and any promoted-listing rates are listed in eBay's fee schedule and your Seller Hub. This tool does not fetch them — enter your own current figures for an accurate result.
