eBay's final value fee
is charged on the whole order.
13.6% of the item, the shipping and the tax for most categories, plus $0.40 per order. This calculator applies both so you see the payout, not the headline price.

Fee rates are editable defaults — always verify current fees on eBay's own fee page, since platforms change rates. FeeStack computes the math; you set the rate.

It is not 13.6% of your item price
The final value fee is calculated on the total amount of the sale — item price plus shipping plus sales tax — so charging the buyer for postage increases the fee you pay. Enter what the buyer is charged for shipping in the shipping field to get an honest number.
Where your category changes the answer
13.6% is the common rate, but eBay's fees are category-specific: some categories are materially lower, the portion of a sale above $7,500 drops to 2.35%, and a Store subscription reduces the rate in exchange for a monthly cost. Check your own category's rate and use 'Other / custom' if it differs.
FAQ
What does eBay take from a $40 sale?
About $5.84 at the common 13.6% + $0.40 rate, leaving $34.16 before what the item cost you and before postage.
Does eBay charge a fee on sales tax?
Yes — the final value fee is applied to the total order amount including tax and shipping, which is why the fee is usually larger than sellers expect.
Do eBay Store subscribers pay less?
Generally yes, at the cost of a monthly subscription. This calculator uses the standard rate; enter your own percentage under 'Other / custom' if you have a Store.
