Marketplace Fee Calculator: Etsy, eBay & Amazon Payout

Calculate seller fees, payout, profit and break-even price for Etsy, eBay, Amazon, Poshmark, Mercari, TikTok Shop and 15 more US marketplaces and payment platforms. Fee rates come from the open SellersCalc fee data (CC BY 4.0), with every fee line shown separately.

Use it to price products, compare platforms or check margins in a spreadsheet. The smallest useful run is one Etsy sale: about 3 seconds and less than one cent. No login or API key is needed.

What it does

You add one or more sales (price, shipping you charged, your item cost and label cost) and choose platforms. For each sale on each platform the Actor returns one Dataset row:

• every fee line with its rate and dollar amount (transaction, payment processing, listing, referral, FBA and other fees);
• total seller fees and your net payout;
• profit and margin when you give your item cost;
• the break-even price and, if you ask, the lowest price for your target margin;
• costs that are not included (sales tax, returns, ads, subscriptions, currency conversion), so you never read them as zero.

The export mode returns the fee table itself: 57 fee lines of 21 platforms with rate, payer, minimum, cap and source link.

Supported platforms: Amazon, Depop, eBay, Etsy, Facebook Marketplace, GOAT, Grailed, Gumroad, Mercari, OfferUp, PayPal, Poshmark, Reverb, Shopify Payments, Square, StockX, Stripe, TikTok Shop, Vinted, Walmart Marketplace, Whatnot.

Good fit

• Price a product so that it still makes money after Etsy, eBay or Amazon fees.
• Compare the same sale on 5–20 platforms in one run and see where you keep more.
• Get a clean fee table for your own spreadsheet, repricer or AI agent.

Not a fit / limits

• US fee schedules in USD only. Other countries and currencies return a not_supported row, not guessed fees.
• One standard rate per platform. Category rates, seller levels, Amazon FBA size tiers and promotions are not modeled.
• Amazon always includes the single published FBA fee. For merchant-fulfilled orders add amazon.fbaFee to excludeFeeKeys.
• Sales tax, returns, ads, subscriptions, storage and currency conversion are listed in notIncluded, not calculated.
• Rates are as last reviewed by SellersCalc (scheduleLastReviewed). This is not a legal or accounting guarantee; check the platform page in officialSource before big decisions.

Quick start

1. Open the Input tab.
2. Keep the prefilled example: platform etsy and three sales in scenarios.
3. Click Start.
4. Open the Calculations view of the Dataset and check totalSellerFees, netPayout and profit.

Expected result: three rows, one for each sale. The first sale ($25 + $5 shipping) shows fees $3.30, payout $26.70, profit $14.20 and break-even price $9.31.

• Money is rounded to cents. A negative or non-number price gives an invalid row for that sale; the other sales still run.
• Repeated platforms (etsy, Etsy) are counted once. Repeated sales are kept as separate rows.
• An empty scenarios list in calculate mode stops the run with a clear input error.

Interacting settings

When	Input A	Input B	Effective behavior	Example	Cost/result effect
Profit needs your cost	scenarios[].itemCost	targetMarginPercent	Without itemCost, profit, marginPercent, breakEvenSalePrice and targetSalePrice are null	{"salePrice": 25}	Same price per row

Input examples

Compare three platforms with a target margin

{
  "platforms": ["etsy", "ebay", "poshmark"],
  "scenarios": [
    { "id": "jacket", "salePrice": 48, "shippingCharged": 0, "itemCost": 15, "shippingCost": 7 }
  ],
  "targetMarginPercent": 30
}

Expected behavior: one calculation for each platform. Expected output: 3 rows with totalSellerFees, netPayout, profit and targetSalePrice. In our test run fees were $5.01 on Etsy, $6.93 on eBay and $9.60 on Poshmark; the 30% margin price was $37.10, $39.72 and $44.00. Limit or cost note: 3 charged rows.

Amazon without FBA

{
  "platforms": ["amazon"],
  "scenarios": [{ "id": "ceramic-mug-12oz", "salePrice": 24.99, "shippingCharged": 4.99, "itemCost": 6.25, "shippingCost": 5.65 }],
  "excludeFeeKeys": ["amazon.fbaFee"]
}

Expected output: the referral fee only (15%, $4.50), payout $25.48, profit $13.58. The FBA line is shown with status excluded; storage lines are not_included.

Fee table of all platforms

{ "mode": "export" }

Expected output: 57 fee rows.

Output

The Dataset has two views: Calculations (type = calculation) and Fee schedule (type = fee). Views select columns, not rows: a run has one mode, so use the view of that mode. The run summary is in the Key-value store record RUN_SUMMARY.

This example is trimmed and shows the first prefill sale. null means "not known" (for example no target margin was asked), never zero.

Pricing and limits

Pricing unit

This Actor uses pay per event:

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.0009 per run (256 MB)
Result row (complete or partial calculation, or one fee table line)	$0.0009 (Free plan), $0.00085 (Bronze), $0.0008 (Silver), $0.00075 (Gold and higher)

• not_supported and invalid rows are free.
• A run with no useful rows (NO_RESULTS) costs only the start event.
• A run that stops on an input error or a source error costs only the start event and saves no rows.
• Platform usage is included in the price.

Cost examples

Scenario	Input scope	Charged rows	Start	Rows (Free plan)	Total
Prefill	3 Etsy sales	3	$0.0009	$0.0027	$0.0036
Compare	1 sale × 10 platforms	10	$0.0009	$0.009	$0.0099
Catalog	100 sales × 1 platform	100	$0.0009	$0.09	$0.0909

Fee table	export, all platforms	57	$0.0009	$0.0513	$0.0522
Nothing to calculate	country GB	0	$0.0009	$0	$0.0009

Limits

• Up to 100 sales and 25 platform names per run. 21 platforms are supported, so at most 2,100 charged rows plus up to 10 free rows. A full run took a few seconds in our tests.
• One request to the fee data per run.
• If Apify moves a run to another server, the run continues where it stopped: rows are not written or charged twice.
• Default timeout 300 seconds, memory 256 MB.

API and integrations

• API: start the Actor with the input JSON from the examples and read Dataset items. Use the calculations or feeSchedule view.
• Export: download the Dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel from the run page.
• Scheduling: run mode = export on an Apify schedule to keep your fee table up to date.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

• MCP server with only this Actor: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=cliqtomedia/marketplace-fee-calculator
• Smallest useful input:

{ "platforms": ["etsy"], "scenarios": [{ "salePrice": 25, "shippingCharged": 5, "itemCost": 8 }] }

• Key output fields: totalSellerFees (all fees), netPayout (money you get), profit, breakEvenSalePrice, notIncluded (costs not counted).
• A typical call takes 2–5 seconds and costs under one cent. Limits: 100 sales, 25 platforms, US/USD only.

Troubleshooting

All rows are not_supported

Symptom: the run ends with NO_RESULTS. Likely reason: an unknown platform id, a country other than US or a currency other than USD. Check: the message of the row and RUN_SUMMARY.supported. Action: use a platform id from the list above, country = US and no currency or USD.

profit is empty

Symptom: profit, marginPercent and breakEvenSalePrice are null. Likely reason: no itemCost in the sale. Action: add itemCost (use 0 if the item cost you nothing).

Amazon fees look too high

Likely reason: the single published FBA fee is included. Action: add amazon.fbaFee to excludeFeeKeys for merchant-fulfilled orders.

The run failed with ERROR

Likely reason: the fee data was not available or changed its format. No rows are saved and no rows are charged. Action: run again later. If it repeats, open an issue.

FAQ

Do I need an account on Etsy, eBay or Amazon?

No. The Actor uses open fee data. It does not log in and does not read your shop.

How fresh are the fees?

Each row has scheduleLastReviewed, the date SellersCalc last checked the rates. The Actor reads the data on every run. Platforms can change fees at any time; check officialSource for the platform page.

Why is my break-even price one cent different from another calculator?

The Actor finds the lowest price in whole cents that gives profit ≥ 0, using fee amounts rounded to cents, as shown in fees[]. Some calculators use unrounded rates.

Are taxes and returns included?

No. They are listed in notIncluded so you can add them yourself.
