Quickly check referral fees — including minimum fees
Referral fees are category-specific and often come with a minimum fee. At low prices, the minimum can dominate the percent — and contribution drops faster than expected.
Enter selling price, referral fee %, an optional minimum fee, plus purchase and shipping/handling. You’ll get fee € (max of % and minimum), net after fee, contribution €/% and a traffic light vs your target (default 5%).

How it works
Referral fee € = max(selling price × referral fee %, minimum referral fee €).
Net after fee = selling price − referral fee €.
Contribution € = net after fee − purchase − shipping/handling; contribution % = contribution € / selling price.
Traffic light: green if contribution % ≥ target. Yellow if between 50% of target and target. Red otherwise (or if contribution € < 0).
Quick conclusion
- Minimum referral fees are often the silent killer at low prices — always check them.
- Comparing contribution % vs target is the fastest guardrail before approving pricing/promos.
- Next step: set a minimum price guardrail and update referral fees regularly from Seller Central.

FAQ
Why is the referral fee higher than “price × %”?
Many categories have a minimum fee. At low prices, the minimum referral fee applies even if the percentage looks small.
Is the referral fee based on gross or net prices?
It depends on marketplace/program. This tool uses your entered selling price as the base. The key is keeping purchase/shipping/fees consistent in the same system (net vs gross).
Why is contribution negative even though the fee% looks normal?
Common reasons: the minimum fee kicks in, purchase/shipping costs are too high, or the price is too low. This quickcheck helps you see which block dominates (fee, purchase, shipping).
Do you store inputs?

Where do I find the referral fee % and minimum fee?
In the Seller Central fee schedule (category/country-specific). Important: values can change — verify them regularly in the official tables.
