Why Must You Use a Marketplace Fee Calculator?
Selling on marketplaces like **Shopee, Tokopedia, and Lazada** in 2026 is no longer as simple as subtracting the cost price from the sale price. With increasingly complex **admin fee** schemes (based on product categories A, B, C, D) and additional service fees like *Free Shipping Xtra* and *Cashback Xtra*, many MSME sellers are actually selling at a loss without realizing it.

This tool helps you anticipate several critical cost variables:

- Fixed Fees: Per-transaction fees (e.g., Rp1,250) are very significant if you sell low-cost items.
