Reverb US Fee Calculator
Model a Reverb US order with the 5% selling fee, its editable $0.50 minimum and $500 maximum per item, and Reverb Payments processing. The standard processing scenario starts at 3.19% plus $0.49, while the Preferred Seller toggle uses 2.99% plus $0.49. Buyer-paid shipping increases both the selling-fee base and, when selected, the processing base. Verify current Reverb terms before relying on the result.

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
- 1Apply the selling percentage to item price plus buyer-paid shipping, then clamp it to the entered minimum and maximum.
- 2Apply the selected processing rate to item price plus buyer-paid shipping and optional tax, then add the fixed fee.
- 3Allocate optional monthly overhead across expected orders.
- 4Subtract platform fees and seller cost lines from item price plus buyer-paid shipping.
- 5Effective platform cost rate uses platform fees divided by seller revenue before tax.
Formulas
- Selling fee = clamp((itemPrice + buyerPaidShipping) × sellingFee%, minimumSellingFee, maximumSellingFee)
- Processing = (itemPrice + buyerPaidShipping + optional buyerPaidTax) × processing% + processingFixed
- Monthly allocation = monthlyOverhead ÷ expectedMonthlyOrders
- Estimated profit = itemPrice + buyerPaidShipping − sellingFee − processing − monthly allocation − seller costs
Important assumptions
- This is a USD Reverb US planning model.
- Selling fee starts at 5% of item price plus buyer-paid shipping, with an editable $0.50 minimum and $500 maximum per item.
- Processing starts at 3.19% plus $0.49, or 2.99% plus $0.49 for the Preferred Seller toggle. Rates remain editable.
- Buyer-paid tax is pass-through and is included in processing only when selected.
- Seller shipping is a cost even when the buyer pays shipping. Ordinary listing and monthly subscription fees default to $0.
- Optional monthly overhead is allocated across expected monthly orders.
- Verify current Reverb selling, processing, tax, and account terms before acting.
