eBay Fee Calculator

The calculator works out fee = sale × rate + per-order fee, so the result is only as accurate as the three numbers you give it. As of October 2026, eBay's fee page lists these for most categories:

• Total sale: enter the total amount of sale, not just the item price. eBay charges its final value fee on the item price plus shipping plus any sales tax the buyer pays.
• Final value fee: 13.6% for most categories, on the first $7,500 of the sale. Some categories use different rates, so check yours.
• Fixed per-order fee: $0.40 when the total sale is over $10, and $0.30 when it is $10 or less. The field defaults to $0.40 and does not switch on its own, so change it for small sales.

"You receive" is the sale total minus eBay's fees. It does not subtract what you paid for the item, postage, packaging or promoted-listing ad fees. If you included sales tax in the total, subtract that tax from "You receive" as well, because it isn't yours to keep.

Here is what the calculator returns at 13.6%, with the correct per-order fee for each total:

Notice how the fixed fee weighs on cheap items: on the $8 sale, fees take about 17.4% of the total, against 14% on the $100 sale.

Above $7,500 the calculator overstates the fee, because it applies one rate to the whole amount. eBay charges 2.35% on the portion above $7,500. On a $10,000 sale the real fee is $7,500 × 13.6% + $2,500 × 2.35% + $0.40 = $1,079.15, leaving $8,920.85, while a flat 13.6% would show $1,360.40. Work out high-value sales by hand.

The third result line shows what to charge so you receive exactly the amount in the first field. Use it to price for profit, not just payout:

1. Add up what you need back: item cost + postage + the profit you want. Say the item cost you $8, postage is $4.20 and you want $20 profit: $32.20.
2. Enter $32.20 as the sale price, keep 13.6% and $0.40.
3. Read the third line: $37.73. That is the total the buyer must pay, for example $33.53 for the item plus $4.20 shipping.

Check: 13.6% of $37.73 plus $0.40 is $5.53, leaving $32.20, which is $20 after your $8 cost and $4.20 postage. If sales tax is collected on the order, eBay's fee also applies to the tax, so your net drops by 13.6% of the tax amount, about $0.41 for every $3 of tax.

Several situations add to the percentage. Add them to the final value fee field and recalculate. On a $100 sale:

The extra charge for a "Very High" not-as-described rate also rises, to 6%, after four or more months. In the other direction, Top Rated Plus listings reportedly get a 10% discount on the percentage part of the fee (not the per-order fee), which would make it 12.24%: $12.64 in fees on $100. Confirm that on your own invoice before relying on it.

If you sell abroad and eBay converts currency for you, its currency-conversion charge rises from 3% to 3.25% on 14 October 2026.
