Digital Goods & NFT Marketplace Fee Calculator

A digital goods and NFT marketplace fee calculator helps creators and sellers understand their true net proceeds after all platform and transaction fees when selling digital products or NFTs online. It accounts for marketplace commissions(ranging from 1% on Rarible to 10% on Gumroad), payment processing fees(typically 2.9% + $0.30 for non-blockchain platforms), gas/blockchain network fees for NFT transactions, and creator royalties earned on secondary market sales. The calculator covers six major platforms - OpenSea, Rarible, Magic Eden, Shopify Digital, Gumroad, and Etsy Digital - and provides a side-by-side comparison of primary sale proceeds vs ongoing royalty income. All calculations run locally in your browser with no data uploaded to any server.

Enter your sale price per item,total number of sales, and creator royalty percentage(for NFT marketplaces that support on-chain royalties). If selling on a blockchain marketplace, enter the gas/blockchain fee per transaction (these vary by network and congestion). Use the secondary sales percentage sliderto estimate what portion of your total sales volume comes from secondary resales where you earn a royalty.

Marketplace fees are the commissions platforms charge for facilitating sales. NFT marketplaces like OpenSea charge 2.5% of the sale price, Rarible charges 1% (plus 1% from buyers), and Magic Eden charges 2%. Traditional platforms charge differently: Gumroad takes 10% flat (including payment processing), Etsy charges 6.5% transaction fee plus 3% + $0.25 payment processing, and Shopify Digital adds 2.9% + $0.30 on top of a monthly subscription ($29-$299/mo). Gas fees are blockchain network fees required to process NFT transactions on Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, or other networks - these can range from a few cents on Solana to $50+ on Ethereum mainnet during peak congestion. Creator royalties are ongoing payments to the original creator each time an NFT is resold on the secondary market, typically 5-10% of the sale price, enforced by the marketplace smart contract.
