How the math works

Read from Meta’s Facebook Help Center on the date shown; the fee is rounded to the cent.

  1. Selling fee (shipped orders)10% × (item + shipping + sales tax), at least $0.80 per order“The selling fee is calculated on the total transaction value, which includes the item sale price, shipping fees, and applicable taxes.” The fee doesn’t include anything your payment provider charges separately, and Meta may offer promotional rates.

Not modeled here

Multi-item orders: Not modeled — Facebook’s two pages disagree on whether the $0.80 minimum is per order or per item (checked October 28, 2026).

Shipping paid by Facebook: Not modeled — Facebook may pay shipping on some listings; how often isn’t published (checked October 13, 2026).

Local sales paid outside checkout: Not modeled — this calculator covers orders sold with shipping through checkout, which is what Meta’s fee page describes (checked October 28, 2026).

How the numbers are checked

  1. Read on the platform’s own page. Every rate, minimum and cap comes from the platform’s help or policy page, with the date it was read. News sites and forum posts wait until the platform confirms them.
  2. Tested to the cent. Every calculator runs on one engine, and its arithmetic is covered by automated tests with worked examples — so the same sale gives the same numbers on every page.
  3. Honest about gaps. A rule that can’t be confirmed shows “Not modeled” with the reason. A rule with two fair readings shows a range, and the comparison ranks by the lower one.
  4. Dated and logged. Rates are re-checked on a schedule; every fee and price change goes into the public fee change log with its effective date.
