Calculation method

The calculator extracts VAT from the buyer-paid total. It calculates Final Value Fee in two tiers (9.5% on the first £750 and 3% on the amount above £750 in your latest example), applies the Top-rated discount to the combined Final Value Fee, adds the regulatory and fixed fees, then adds 20% VAT on the total eBay fees before VAT. It deducts postage label, packaging and product cost to calculate net profit.

Latest reference order: Buyer paid £899.93 · Buyer VAT £149.99 · Tiered Final Value Fee £68.17 after 10% discount · Regulatory fee £3.15 · Fixed fee £0.40 · eBay fees including VAT £86.06 · eBay payout before postage label and product cost £663.88.
