Why use a fee calculator?
Marketplace fees come in several pieces: commissions, payment processing, fixed per-order fees and ad fees. Each one is charged on a slightly different amount. A product that looks profitable on a napkin can lose money once they are all added up. Every GetProfitKit calculator shows each fee line by line, a revenue breakdown bar and the profit, margin and ROI you actually keep.
Built for sellers in the US, UK, Canada and Australia
Every calculator works in any currency. The Etsy calculator has US, UK, Canadian, Australian and Eurozone processing rates, the PayPal calculator covers all 24 currencies PayPal accepts with their own fixed fees, and the eBay, Shopify and Amazon calculators use US rates by default with boxes for your own local rates.
