Mercari fee calculator.

Worked example

$40 item, $6 shipping charged to the buyer, $10 item cost, $1 supplies, $6 postage. Fee: 10% x ($40 + $6) = $4.60. You receive $46 - $4.60 = $41.40. Profit: $41.40 - $10 - $1 - $6 = $24.40. The buyer pays 3.6% x $46 = $1.66 on top, a total of $47.66. To make $20 profit on the same costs, list at $35.11.

How it works

Selling fee = 10% x (item price + buyer-paid shipping). Mercari's "Fees on Mercari" page says that for listings created or updated on or after 6 January 2025 a 10% selling fee applies to the combined item price and buyer-paid shipping, and that no separate payment processing fee applies. Listings created before that date had no selling fee applied until they were updated.

Buyer total = (item price + shipping) x 1.036. The same page says the buyer pays a 3.6% Buyer Protection fee on item price plus buyer-paid shipping. It does not come out of your payout, but it is part of what the buyer sees, so it is shown separately.

Withdrawals. The page says direct deposit cash-outs no longer carry a $2 fee as of 6 January 2025, and that Instant Pay is a flat $3 per cash-out, up to $600 a month, once per day on eligible debit cards. Enter $3 in the withdrawal field if you cash out that way; it defaults to 0.

Profit = item price + shipping charged - fees - item cost - supplies - postage you pay. Reverse mode finds the lowest price, in whole cents, that reaches your target profit.
