You'd make $2.19 net profit after fees and costs (+21.9% on total cost).
Steam estimates use the standard 15% fee (5% Steam + 10% Dota 2); Steam shows the exact amount when you list. Marketplace fees, purchase fees and fixed costs use the values you enter.
How to read the result
The result splits the sale into gross listing value, selling fees, net proceeds, purchase cost, optional costs and net profit. The break-even price is the lowest list price per item that covers your total cost after fees.
Net margin is profit as a share of the sale price; markup and return on cost show profit as a share of what you spent. Prices move, so check the item’s recent price history before you buy.

Frequently asked questions
How is the break-even sell price calculated?
The calculator spreads your total cost across the quantity, then finds the lowest per-item list price that covers it after the selected fees.
Does this work for third-party marketplaces?
Yes. Choose "Marketplace (custom fee)" and enter that site’s fee percentage. Add any purchase or fixed costs to include them in the result.
Why is my profit negative even though the sell price is higher than the buy price?
Selling fees and any purchase or fixed costs come out of the sale. A sell price only slightly above the buy price can still end in a loss once they are deducted.
Does the calculator predict prices?
No. It does the math on the prices you enter. Check an item’s price history before you buy to pick a realistic sell price.
