TICKET RESALE PROFIT CALCULATOR · RUNS IN YOUR BROWSER

What do you actually take home when you resell tickets?

Enter what you paid and what you plan to list for. See your payout after the seller fee, the break-even list price, the same order on four marketplaces, and — the part spreadsheets skip — your expected profit once some listings do not sell.

Nothing is uploaded. Fee presets are typical rates and marketplaces change them, so type the percentage your listing screen shows. Not tax advice.

Common questions

What fees does this include?

The seller-side fee you set (presets of about 10% for StubHub, SeatGeek and Vivid Seats and 15% for Ticketmaster resale, which you can overwrite), an optional flat fee per ticket, and an optional delivery cost per order. Buyer fees are paid by the buyer on top of your list price and are not in the maths.

Are the fee presets exact?

No. Marketplaces change seller fees, vary them by country, event and account, and sometimes show the buyer an all-in price. Check the payout shown on the real listing screen and type that percentage in; the tool is arithmetic on whatever you enter.

Why does a 12% margin lose money?

Because unsold tickets are a total loss for the order. If a listing only sells 8 times in 10, a 12% margin on the sales that happen does not cover the 100% loss on the two that do not. The expected-profit line shows the sale chance you need to break even.

Is this tax advice?

No. Resale profit can be taxable income and marketplaces may report it. The tool does not model tax; keep your own records.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No. The page runs in your browser on what you type or paste and never sends it anywhere. The CLI reads a local file or stdin and makes no network call.
