Seller Payout Calculator
See what an order really leaves you after payment fees, marketplace cost, shipping, tax, and cost of goods.

Payout before shipping and product cost$113.93
Final payout after all costs$63.93
Total costs removed$66.07
Formula used
Gross collected = sale price + shipping charged + tax collected. Processing fee = gross collected x rate + fixed fee. Payout before costs = gross collected - processing fee - marketplace fee - tax collected. Final payout = payout before costs - shipping cost - cost of goods.
Worked examples
- A $120 order can look strong until you subtract processing, marketplace fees, shipping cost, tax handling, and cost of goods in the same view.
- This is the quick reality check for sellers who care more about final cash left than gross order value.
Notes
- Different marketplaces treat tax remittance and fee timing differently, so the payout model is an estimate rather than a settlement statement.
- Use the tax collected field only when the buyer pays tax on top of the sale and that amount should not be treated as your revenue.
- This tool is most useful for fast planning before you move to a full SKU-level profit sheet.
