What it measures

Facebook Marketplace net profit is what you keep from a sale after the 5% selling fee, your item cost, and shipping are deducted.

Formula

Net Profit = Sale Price − (Sale Price × Fee Rate) − Item Cost − Shipping

Worked example

Selling a $100 item that cost you $40 with $8 shipping incurs a $5 fee and leaves $47 net profit, a 47% margin.

How this calculator works

Facebook charges a 5% selling fee per shipped order (or a flat $0.40 on orders of $8 or less). Net profit = sale price − selling fee − item cost − shipping. Local pickup sales generally have no fee.

Frequently asked questions

Does Facebook Marketplace charge fees? +

Shipped orders are charged a 5% selling fee (minimum $0.40). Local, in-person pickup transactions are free.

When do I get paid? +

Payouts are typically released 15–20 days after shipment, once the buyer has received the item, to a linked bank account.

Is there a fee for orders under $8? +

Yes. Instead of the 5% rate, Facebook charges a flat $0.40 minimum selling fee on shipped orders of $8.00 or less.

Are payment processing fees included in the 5%? +

Yes. The 5% selling fee covers payment processing and purchase protection, so there is no separate processing charge on Marketplace shipped orders.

How do I increase my Marketplace profit margin? +

Lower your item cost or shipping spend, bundle items to raise the average sale price, and offer local pickup where possible to avoid the selling fee entirely.
