eBay Promoted Listings Profit Calculator — frequently asked questions

How does this ebay promoted listings profit calculator work?+

It starts with item price plus buyer-paid shipping, estimates sales tax when selected, applies the final value fee and per-order fee, subtracts the Promoted Listings ad fee, then subtracts COGS, shipping, store allocation, and other seller costs.

What is the break-even ad percentage?+

The break-even ad percentage is the highest Promoted Listings ad rate this listing can carry before estimated profit falls to $0, based on the fee base and costs you entered.

Can I model store tiers and category fees?+

Yes. The free calculator uses a most-category estimate with no store subscription allocation. Pro unlocks category presets, store tier allocation, monthly order volume, tax handling, and target-profit ad headroom.

Is my eBay listing data sent to a server?+

No. Sale price, COGS, shipping, tax, ad rate, store tier, and break-even calculations run entirely in your browser.
