Facebook Marketplace fee calculator
Enter the item price and what the buyer paid for shipping and tax to see Facebook's selling fee and your payout, or flip the mode to find the price that nets an exact amount.
You keep
$133.43
$16.57 fee on a $165.73 order (11.05% of the item price)
How to use it
- Enter the item price and choose whether it shipped or was picked up locally. Local pickup has no fee.
- For a shipped order, enter what the buyer paid for shipping and the sales tax on the order; both are on the order details page. The fee is charged on the whole total.
- Read the fee, what share of the item price it really is, and your payout.
- Switch the mode to work backwards from the amount you want to keep to the price to list at.
Worked example
A pair of boots sells for $150.00, shipped, with the buyer paying $6.35 shipping and $9.38 sales tax.
Total paid by the buyer: $165.73. Selling fee: $165.73 × 10% = $16.57. Payout: $150.00 − $16.57 = $133.43. The fee is 10% of the total but 11.05% of the item price, because $15.73 of the total was never yours.
A $5.00 item shipped with $4.00 postage: 10% of $9.00 is $0.90, above the $0.80 minimum, so the fee is $0.90 and you keep $4.10.
How this is calculated
Facebook Marketplace charges nothing on local pickup sales, where money changes hands in person. On orders shipped through Marketplace, it takes a selling fee of 10% of the total the buyer paid, or $0.80, whichever is higher. The total includes the item price, the shipping the buyer paid and the sales tax Facebook collected, which is why the fee feels bigger than 10%: on a $150 item with $6.35 shipping and $9.38 tax the fee is $16.57, which is 11% of the item price. The fee is deducted from the item price when you're paid, and the buyer's shipping payment goes toward the label you buy through Facebook; if your label costs more than the buyer paid, the difference is yours too. Reverse mode finds the smallest item price that leaves your target after the fee.
total the buyer pays = item price + shipping + sales tax
selling fee = the larger of total × 10% and $0.80, on shipped orders only
your payout = item price − selling fee
Local pickup: no fee, payout = item price. Buyer-paid shipping funds your label and isn’t part of the payout.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the fee charged on shipping and tax I never receive?
Because Facebook applies the percentage to the buyer's whole payment, the same way eBay does. It means the real rate on the item is higher than 10%: on a low-priced item with high shipping it can approach 20%. Factor it into the price rather than the shipping charge.
Is local pickup really free?
Yes. Facebook only charges when an order is shipped through its checkout. Local sales paid in cash or by a payment app outside Marketplace carry no Facebook fee, though they also have no Marketplace purchase protection for either side.
Who pays for the shipping label?
The seller buys the label through Facebook, and the shipping the buyer paid is credited against it. If you set your shipping charge at what the label costs, it nets to zero; if you offer free shipping, the label comes out of your payout on top of the fee.
When do I get paid?
Facebook releases the payout to your bank account a set number of days after the order is marked delivered, typically within a few days of delivery for established sellers and longer for new accounts. The order page shows an estimated payout date.
Does Facebook send me a tax form?
Marketplace issues a Form 1099-K once your shipped sales pass the federal reporting threshold, which changes; check the IRS page for the current year. Whether or not you get a form, profit from selling as a business is taxable, and casual sales of your own belongings at a loss are not.
