Type what you paid and what it sells for. The calculator takes off TCGplayer's fees, your postage and supplies, and shows your profit, your margin and the lowest price that still breaks even. Nothing is sent anywhere. Worked examples: how much profit flipping cards on TCGplayer.
How the numbers are worked out
- Fees: 10.75% commission on the items and on the shipping the buyer pays (9.25% plus a 2.5% Pro fee for Pro sellers), capped at $75 per product, plus 2.5% + $0.30 on the order total including tax (TCGplayer: Fees for selling).
- Profit: payout minus what you paid for the cards, your postage and your supplies.
- Margin: profit as a share of what the buyer paid for the items and shipping, and as a return on what you spent.

FAQ
How much does TCGplayer take from a sale?
For Level 1-4 sellers TCGplayer charges a 10.75% marketplace commission (capped at $75 per product) plus a 2.5% + $0.30 transaction fee on the order total, per its TCGplayer: Fees for selling page. The calculator uses the same rounding as TCGplayer's TCGplayer: Fee Calculation Examples.
What is the break-even price?
The lowest sell price, to the cent, at which the sale does not lose money after TCGplayer's fees, your postage, your supplies and what you paid for the card.
Why is my margin lower on cheap cards?
The $0.30 per-order transaction fee and a stamp are the same on a $1 card and a $50 card, so they eat a much bigger share of a cheap sale. Bundling cheap cards into one order helps.
