It's simple math based on total sale value. Here's exactly what happens.
Total Sale Value
Adds your item price and shipping cost together. Example: $100 + $10 shipping = $110 Total.
Final Value Fee
Calculates eBay's cut. Example: $110 × 13% = $14.30 Fee.

The eBay final value fee varies by category but typically ranges from 10% to 15%. Our calculator lets you adjust this percentage to match your specific category, giving you a precise profit estimate.
Whether you're selling electronics, clothing, or collectibles, knowing your exact take-home pay helps you price items competitively while maintaining healthy margins.
