This marketplace fees and net payout calculator separates the amount a seller receives after marketplace and payment fees from the actual profit remaining after product and fulfillment costs.
How it works
Percentage marketplace and payment fees are calculated from the gross selling price. The fixed order fee is then deducted to produce net payout. Product, fulfillment and handling costs are deducted separately to estimate profit.
The formula
Net payout is not the same as profit. Payout measures what remains after platform-related fees, while profit also reflects the merchant’s product and fulfillment costs.
Worked example
At a selling price of 150 with a 12% marketplace fee, 2.5% payment fee and a fixed fee of 1, total fees are 22.75 and net payout is 127.25. With the default product costs, profit is 48.25 per order.
This is a planning estimate. Actual marketplaces may use category-specific commissions, minimum fees, VAT on commissions, storage fees, advertising charges, refunds or other deductions.
