Fee Calculation Formulas
| Fee Type | Formula | Example (on $50 listing) |
|---|---|---|
| Discogs Fee | Listing Price × Discogs% | $50 × 9% = $4.50 |
| VAT on Fee | Discogs Fee × VAT% | $4.50 × 0% = $0.00 |
| PayPal Fee | (Listing Price × PP%) + PP Fixed | ($50 × 3.49%) + $0.49 = $2.235 |
| Total Fees | Discogs Fee + VAT Fee + PayPal Fee | $4.50 + $0.00 + $2.235 = $6.74 |
| Net Profit | Listing Price − Total Fees − Cost | $50 − $6.74 − $0.00 = $43.27 |
| Profit Margin | (Net Profit / Listing Price) × 100 | ($43.27 / $50) × 100 = 86.53% |

Reverse Calculation — Desired Profit → Required Listing Price
The calculator uses an algebraic reverse formula when you enter a Desired Profit instead of a listing price.
| Step | Formula |
|---|---|
| Revenue derivation | Revenue − (Revenue × DC%) − (Revenue × DC% × VAT%) − (Revenue × PP%) − PP_Fix − Cost = Profit |
| Factored form | Revenue × [1 − DC% × (1 + VAT%) − PP%] = Profit + PP_Fix + Cost |
| Final formula | Revenue = (Profit + PP_Fix + Cost) ÷ [1 − DC% × (1 + VAT%) − PP%] |
Example: You want $30 profit with default settings and no item cost:
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
| Target Profit | $30.00 |
| PayPal Fixed Fee | $0.49 |
| Item Cost | $0.00 |
| Numerator | $30 + $0.49 + $0.00 = $30.49 |
| Denominator | 1 − 0.09×(1+0) − 0.0349 = 0.8751 |
| Required Listing Price | $30.49 ÷ 0.8751 = $34.84 |
Break-Even Price Formula
The break-even is the minimum listing price at which you make zero profit (fees + cost are exactly covered).
| Component | Formula |
|---|---|
| Break-Even Formula | (Cost + PP_Fixed) ÷ [1 − DC% × (1 + VAT%) − PP%] |
| With no item cost (default) | $0.49 ÷ 0.8751 = **$0.56** |
| With $10 item cost | ($10 + $0.49) ÷ 0.8751 = **$11.99** |
| With $20 item cost | ($20 + $0.49) ÷ 0.8751 = **$23.42** |
| With $30 item cost | ($30 + $0.49) ÷ 0.8751 = **$34.84** |
| With $50 item cost | ($50 + $0.49) ÷ 0.8751 = **$57.70** |
