Want to know exactly how much you’ll earn after selling on eBay? Our easy eBay fee calculator does the math for you!

If you sell on eBay, understanding your fees is critical — and that’s exactly why our eBay Fee Calculator was built. This tool gives you an instant breakdown of eBay fees, promoted listing fees, store discounts, shipping costs, and your final eBay profit in seconds. Whether you sell casually or operate a full-time reselling business, this eBay profit calculator helps you price smarter, avoid surprises, and maximize your earnings.

Below is a simple guide on how to use the calculator effectively.

Start by entering the sale price of your item.
This allows the eBay Fee Calculator to calculate:

• Final value fee (percentage varies by category)

• Promoted listing ad fee

• Fixed $0.30 order fee

• Applicable sales tax (if you include it)

The sale price is the foundation of every fee calculation on eBay.

Choose the correct category from the dropdown.
Different categories on eBay have slightly different fee percentages, so picking the right category gives you the most accurate results.

This helps the eBay profit calculator estimate your real platform fees based on eBay’s current fee structure.

Enter what you paid for the item.
This is used to calculate:

• Net earnings

• Real profit

• Profit percentage

• Margin comparison

The calculator shows your true eBay profit—not just earnings after fees.

Enter the shipping cost you (the seller) will pay.
If you offer free shipping, enter 0.
This affects your final earnings and profit margin.

Our calculator adjusts fees based on your subscription:

• No Store

• Starter

• Basic

• Premium

• Anchor

• Enterprise

Each level affects final value fees, which the eBay fee calculator automatically adjusts.

Your performance rating also affects how much you pay in eBay fees:

• Top Rated (discounted fees)

• Above Standard (normal fees)

• Below Standard (increased fees)

The calculator applies these changes instantly.

If you run eBay ads, enter your percentage.
The calculator will automatically include your promoted listing ad fee into the total eBay fees.

This is especially helpful since many sellers underestimate how much ads reduce profit.

Enter the buyer’s sales tax rate.
This is optional, but helps when calculating your “all-in” numbers.

The eBay Fee & Profit Calculator will instantly display:

✔ Total eBay Fees

(including category fees, store adjustments, ad fees, and order fees)

✔ Net Earnings

(what you keep after fees, tax, and shipping)

✔ Total Profit

(your true profit after cost of goods)

✔ Profit Margin %

(helpful for pricing decisions)

✔ Marketplace Comparison

Compare your eBay profit versus Poshmark and Mercari side-by-side.

This gives you the clearest picture of your best marketplace for a given item.

When you sell on eBay, several fees can affect your final profit. The main fee is the Final Value Fee, which is a percentage of your sale price and varies by category. Sellers also pay a $0.30 order fee, and if you use Promoted Listings, eBay charges an additional advertising fee based on the ad rate you set. Your fee structure can change depending on whether you have an eBay Store subscription and your seller level (Top Rated, Above Standard, or Below Standard).

Because these variables make eBay fees complex, using an accurate eBay Fee Calculator is essential. The calculator instantly breaks down your total fees so you can understand your true earnings and final profit before listing an item.
