Reverb Fee Calculator — Music Gear Sales
Calculate your estimated Reverb payout after the 5% selling fee and payment processing. The selling fee applies to the order total, including shipping.
5% selling fee
Applied to the item price plus shipping in the order total.
Shipping included
Enter shipping so the selling-fee estimate reflects the published total-sale basis.
Payment caveat
Processing rates vary by seller and region; verify the current Reverb terms before selling.
Worked example: an $800 gear sale plus $50 shipping
The modeled order total is $850. Reverb's 5% selling fee is $42.50, and the estimated 2.99% + $0.49 payment processing is about $25.90. The calculator keeps the shipping basis visible instead of hiding it in the item price.
Estimated payout: about $781.60 before taxes, cross-border charges, or account-specific adjustments.
How to use this estimate
- 1
Enter the item price
Use the amount the buyer pays for the instrument or gear before shipping.
- 2
Add shipping
Include the buyer-paid shipping amount because the modeled selling fee uses the order total.
- 3
Review processing
Treat payment processing as an estimate and confirm the seller terms for your region.
What can change the result
Shipping changes the basis
A $50 shipping charge adds $2.50 to the modeled 5% selling fee before processing.
Payment terms vary
Seller region, payment method, taxes, and cross-border charges can change the final payout.
Gear cost is separate
Your acquisition cost, packing materials, and shipping-label cost determine profit but are not platform fees.
This calculator is an independent estimate, not a Reverb quote. Check the official fee page for payment processing, cross-border charges, taxes, and any account-specific terms.
