Calculates eBay final value fees on the item and the shipping, then shows your payout, profit and the break-even price for the listing.
The eBay Fee Calculator calculates eBay final value fees on the item and the shipping, then shows your payout, profit and the break-even price for the listing. It runs as plain JavaScript inside the page, which means there is no upload step, no queue and no size limit imposed by a server — the only limit is your own device.
| Standard final value fee | 13.25% for most categories |
|---|---|
| Per order | Plus 30c |
| Charged on | Item price plus buyer-paid shipping plus tax |
| Processing | Included, not separate |
| Promoted Listings | An extra percentage on top, only when the ad wins the sale |
This tool uses final value fee = 13.25% of the item price plus the shipping the buyer paid, plus 30c per order. Payment processing is already inside that percentage under managed payments. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.
Store subscription fees, international fees, currency conversion and the extra charge above the per-category fee cap are not modelled. It also assumes the sale completes — an unpaid item that is later cancelled changes the arithmetic entirely.
