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
- 1Selling fee equals sellingPrice × 10%
- 2Total buyer payment equals sellingPrice + shippingCharged
- 3Payment processing equals totalBuyerPayment × 2.9% + $0.50
- 4Total fees equals sellingFee + paymentProcessing
- 5Net before item equals totalBuyerPayment − totalFees − actualShippingCost − packagingCost
- 6Effective fee rate equals totalFees ÷ sellingPrice ×100 when sellingPrice >0
Formulas
- Selling Fee = price × 10%
- Total Payment = price + shippingCharged
- Payment Fee = totalPayment × 2.9% + $0.50
- Total Fees = sellingFee + paymentFee
- Net = totalPayment − totalFees − actualShipping − packaging
Important assumptions
- Mercari fee model used: 10% selling fee on item price plus $0.50 + 2.9% payment processing on total buyer payment (item + shipping charged). This matches current Mercari FAQ as of 2026, simplified.
- Total revenue equals selling price plus shipping charged to buyer
- Total Mercari fees equals selling fee plus payment fee
- Net earnings before item cost equals total revenue minus total fees minus actual shipping cost minus packaging
- Does not include promoted listing boosts or Mercari Local fees
Worked example
$30 top with no shipping charged
Item price $30, buyer pays $0 extra shipping, you pay $0 shipping label cost because you use Mercari's system already funded by buyer? Actually simplified to $0, packaging $1.
