About PayoutCalcs
PayoutCalcs is a free set of calculators and quizzes for online sellers: marketplace fees, Amazon, payment apps and payment processors, so you can see what you keep after fees.
Who runs this site
PayoutCalcs is run by Chris Jensen, an independent individual based in Florida. It is not a company. I started it because information people were looking for was missing or hard to find, and I wanted the real fees and payouts behind online selling in simple tools that show their method. Where the site says “we”, that is me. You can reach me at rusticreckoner@gmail.com or through the contact page.
Why this site exists
Selling online looks simple until the payout arrives. Every platform takes a commission, a payment-processing fee and often more: listing fees, shipping labels, advertising fees, currency conversion and instant-payout fees. The percentages are published, but the total is hard to see. PayoutCalcs applies each platform’s published fee schedule to your sale so you can see the net payout before you list. That matters most on small sales, where a fixed fee can take a large share.
What you will find here
There are 18 calculators in four groups, plus three quizzes:
- Marketplaces: eBay, Etsy, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, Vinted, Whatnot, Grailed, TikTok Shop and StockX
- Amazon: referral, fulfillment and storage fees with your estimated profit per unit
- Payment Apps: PayPal, Venmo and Cash App
- Payment Processors: Stripe, Square, Shopify and a general credit-card processing calculator
- Finders & Quizzes: quizzes on which platform to sell on, which payment processor to use and whether selling on eBay is worth it
Where the numbers come from
Each page applies the platform’s publicly published fee schedule for 2025 and 2026 and says which rates it used. Some pages note where a fee is approximate or varies by account, for example volume-based pricing, seller levels or international cards. Fee schedules change, so every page asks you to confirm the current rate on the platform before you rely on a number. The how we calculate page explains our approach and its limits.
What this site does not do
It does not know your account’s negotiated rates, it does not calculate income tax or sales tax and it does not give financial, legal or tax advice. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any marketplace, payment company or processor named on the site. See the disclaimer for the details.
