Facebook Marketplace fee calculator
This calculator retains a historical shipped-order estimate of 5% with a $0.40 minimum. We could not verify Meta's current shipped-checkout schedule, so this is not a current-rate quote. Confirm the fee shown in your seller account before using the estimate to price inventory. Local cash sales arranged directly with a buyer use a different fee outcome.

Worked example: a $22.00 Facebook Marketplace sale
Suppose you sell an item for $22.00 and charge $6.00 shipping. The gross sale is $28.00. Here is how Facebook Marketplace arrives at what you keep:
- Selling fee (5% × $28.00 (min $0.40))−$1.40
- Total fees−$1.40
- Net payout$26.60
Total fees come to $1.40 (5.0% of the gross sale). After the fees and any platform-handled shipping deductions shown above, the net payout is $26.60. After your $5.00 item cost and $5.00 shipping paid separately, the profit is $16.60 — a 75.5% margin on the item price.
Source-checked fee snapshot at $22.00
These models use a common item price with no shipping, ads, item cost, or cross-border surcharge. Each product keeps its own default sale type, category, plan, and payment method, so the table compares modeled seller deductions — not equivalent services or total buyer cost. Facebook Marketplace is omitted until its published schedule is source-checked.

How Facebook Marketplace fees work
The modeled 5% rate and $0.40 minimum are historical, unverified values retained for an illustrative shipped-order calculation. Meta's current help page required a login during our 9 October 2026 check, so the current rate, fee basis, exemptions and shipping availability could not be confirmed from a primary source. Do not treat this result as your current Marketplace deduction. Check your seller account and the linked Meta help page. Local cash transactions, third-party payment processing and optional paid promotion are outside this shipped-order estimate.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Facebook Marketplace charge a fee?
- The current shipped-checkout fee needs confirmation in your Meta seller account. The 5% rate and $0.40 minimum shown here are historical estimates, not verified current fees. Local cash transactions are outside this model.
- What does the Marketplace selling fee cover?
- The historical estimate combined selling and payment-processing costs. We could not confirm the current schedule or its scope; review your Meta order receipt for the actual deduction.
- Is there a fee for local pickup sales?
- This calculator models a historical shipped-checkout estimate. A local transaction paid directly to you does not pass through that checkout; any third-party processor you use can have its own fees.
- Is there a minimum fee on shipped sales?
- The retained historical model uses a $0.40 minimum. The current minimum could not be verified and must be checked in your Meta seller account.
