How it works
Methodology & formulas
This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.
Calculation steps
- 1Order revenue equals item selling price times quantity plus shipping charged to the buyer.
- 2Final value fee equals order revenue times final value percent plus the per-order fixed portion.
- 3Promoted Listings fee equals order revenue times promoted listings percent when enabled.
- 4Total fees combine final value fee, insertion fee, and promoted fee.
- 5Your costs combine product cost times quantity plus actual shipping and packaging.
- 6Net profit equals revenue minus total fees minus your costs.
- 7Profit margin equals net profit divided by revenue.
- 8Break-even price solves for the item price that brings net profit to zero at the same quantity, shipping charged, and fee settings.
Formulas
- Revenue = (salePrice × quantity) + shippingCharged
- Final value fee = (revenue × finalValueFee%) + finalValueFeeFixed
- Promoted fee = revenue × promotedListings%
- Total fees = finalValueFee + insertionFee + promotedFee
- Your costs = (productCost × quantity) + shippingCost + packagingCost
- Net profit = revenue − totalFees − yourCosts
- Profit margin = netProfit ÷ revenue × 100
- Break-even item price = [(totalCosts + fixedFees) ÷ (1 − feeRate%) − shippingCharged] ÷ quantity
Important assumptions
- Final value fee percent varies by category and seller performance. 13.25% is a common default but many categories differ.
- Final value fee is applied to item total plus shipping charged to buyer, plus sales tax in some regions when eBay collects it. This calculator uses item plus shipping for fee base.
- Insertion fees are free for the first 250 listings per month for most sellers without a Store. Enter 0 if you are within free listings.
- Promoted Listings Standard fee is optional and only applies when you run Promoted Listings. Enter 0% if not using it.
- Store subscription monthly cost is noted for reference but not included in per-sale profit, similar to Shopify monthly plans.
- Payment processing is included in eBay's managed payments structure reflected in final value fees, not as a separate processor line.
- Always confirm live rates in Seller Hub under Fees before pricing decisions.
