NFT Profit Calculator (Royalties, Marketplace Fees and Gas) by TheCalcTools

How the NFT Profit Calculator (Royalties, Marketplace Fees and Gas) works

When an NFT sells, the marketplace takes its fee and the creator royalty (if enforced) from the sale price; you receive the rest. Gas for buying, approving and listing adds to your cost.

Break-even is the cost divided by the share of the sale you keep. Crypto prices are volatile; this is arithmetic, not investment advice.

The formula

Profit = sell × (1 − fee − royalty) − buy − gas

Worked example

Using the default values shown in the calculator:

Buy price (ETH)0.8
Sell price (ETH)1.2
Marketplace fee2.5 %
Creator royalty5 %
Gas for buying and listing (ETH)0.004
ETH price$3000
  1. Buying at 0.8 ETH and selling at 1.2 ETH after 7.5% of fees and 0.004 ETH gas: 0.3060 ETH ($918.00).
  2. Break-even sale price 0.8692 ETH.

Result:

Profit or loss (ETH)0.3060
Profit or loss in money$918.00
Return38.1%
Break-even sale price (ETH)0.8692
Fees taken from the sale (ETH)0.0900

Frequently asked questions
