How to use the Facebook Marketplace fee calculator
- Type the sale price in Item price.
- Enter what the buyer pays for postage in Shipping the buyer pays. Use 0 if you ship free to the buyer.
- Enter the rate in Sales tax on the order (%). Use 0 if the order carries no tax.
- Optional: under “Your costs (for profit)”, fill in What the item cost you, Your own postage or label cost and Packaging and other costs. The result then shows profit, margin and return on cost.
- Optional: under “Price you need”, choose A profit amount, A profit margin (%) or A return on cost (ROI %), type a target, and read the lowest price that reaches it.
- Read You keep (after platform fees), then the fee table with its Fee, Paid by and Amount columns.
If you chose to pay for shipping yourself in the listing, Meta’s page says that cost is deducted from your payout. Enter it under Your own postage or label cost, since the tool has no other place for it.

How is the Facebook Marketplace selling fee calculated?
For an order shipped through Marketplace checkout in the US, the fee is 10% of the item price plus shipping plus applicable taxes, with a minimum of $0.80 per order. Meta deducts it from your payout. Payment-provider fees are not part of it, and Meta tells sellers to check the provider’s terms.
Because of the minimum, any order totalling under $8.00 pays $0.80. A $5 item with $2 shipping totals $7, and 10% would be $0.70, so the fee is $0.80.
| Example | Item | Shipping | Tax rate | Selling fee | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum applies | $5.00 | $2.00 | 0% | $0.80 | $6.20 |
| Typical order | $20.00 | $5.00 | 0% | $2.50 | $22.50 |
| With sales tax | $20.00 | $5.00 | 7.2% | $2.68 | $22.32 |
| Larger item | $100.00 | $0.00 | 0% | $10.00 | $90.00 |
In the third row, tax lifts the base to $26.80, so the fee is $2.68. “You keep” counts item plus shipping minus the fee. The sales tax is left out because the buyer pays it, not you.
Who pays for shipping, and does it change the fee?
When you list, you choose who pays for shipping: the buyer, Facebook or you. If you pay, Meta deducts the cost from your payout. Whatever shipping amount is added to the order raises the fee base. A $30 item with $10 shipping paid by the buyer gives a $4.00 fee on $40, while the same item with no shipping charge gives $3.00. Shipping is offered within the continental US, so the calculator is US-only.
What is the lowest price that reaches my profit goal?
The “Price you need” group searches for the smallest item price, to the cent, that meets the profit amount, margin or return on cost you set. It re-runs the fee calculation at each price, so the 10% and the $0.80 minimum are already included. Shipping you charge the buyer stays as entered.
Profit here is what you keep minus your costs. Margin is profit divided by the amount the buyer pays you for item and shipping, and return on cost is profit divided by all your costs.
Meta says it may offer promotional rates to eligible sellers, which show in the payout breakdown. The tool does not include them.
How this tool works and where the numbers come from
For US items sold with shipping and checkout, Meta’s help page states a selling fee of 10%, with a minimum of $0.80 per order, on the item price plus shipping plus taxes, deducted from the payout. The calculator applies that rule. Meta’s pages read for this site do not confirm a fee for local pickup, so local sales are not calculated here.

Frequently asked questions
What are the fees for selling on Facebook Marketplace?
On items sold with shipping and checkout in the US, the selling fee is 10% of item price, shipping and taxes, with a $0.80 minimum per order. Fees for local pickup are not covered here because Meta’s pages read for this site do not confirm them.
How much does Facebook take from a $20 item with $5 shipping?
$2.50, which is 10% of $25. You keep $22.50 before your own costs. At a 7.2% sales tax rate the base becomes $26.80 and the fee $2.68.
Is there a minimum selling fee?
Yes, $0.80 per order. It applies whenever item, shipping and tax add up to less than $8.00.
Are payment-provider fees included in the 10%?
No. Meta’s page says they are separate and refers sellers to the provider’s terms. The calculator shows only the selling fee, so check your payment provider if you use one.
Does shipping count toward the fee?
Yes. Meta words the base as item sale price plus shipping fees plus applicable taxes. A higher shipping charge to the buyer raises the fee.
Does the tool cover cash and pickup sales?
No. It handles shipped orders in the US. Meta’s own help pages read for this page do not say what, if anything, is charged on pickup sales.
Can the other-platforms table take my postage into account?
Yes. Type your label cost into “Your own postage or label cost” and the last column of “The same item on other platforms” becomes “You keep after your postage”. Poshmark has nothing taken off, because its flat buyer shipping pays the label.
