How the calculation works
UK-registered private sellers (excluding motors): no final value or regulatory operating fee; delivery outside the UK adds 3%. Business fees include VAT and use your category rate plus an order fee and 0.35% regulatory fee. Optional listing upgrades, tiered categories, business international charges and Below Standard additions (6 percentage points) are not modeled.
Payout = item price + seller-collected shipping − fees. Profit = payout − item cost − shipping cost. Reverse mode finds the lowest listing price that reaches your selected payout or profit.
Estimates exclude unlisted charges. Reverse prices round up to the smallest currency unit that meets your target.

Frequently asked questions
What category percentage should a business seller enter?
Enter your category’s rate. The initial 12.9% is an editable example, not a universal rate. Verified examples are Music 9.9% and Musical Instruments & DJ Equipment 10.9%. Some categories are tiered and cannot be represented by this single percentage.
How does the business order threshold work?
The fixed fee is £0.30 when item + postage + tax is at most £10.00, otherwise £0.40. The regulatory fee uses the same total.
Are currency conversion and private upgrades included?
No. For private sellers, currency conversion is 2.5%, rising to 2.75% from 2026-12-01; both are reference-only. Optional listing upgrades are excluded.
Can I work backwards from what I want to receive?
Yes. Select reverse mode and enter your target payout. The calculator finds the lowest price in cents that reaches it under the selected fee rules. Platform rounding may differ.
