How to Calculate Auction Fees Like a Pro



Calculating auction fees accurately is crucial for successful bidding. Miscalculations can lead to overspending or missed opportunities. This article will guide you through the process of calculating auction fees and introduce BidMate, the ultimate tool for precise calculations.
















Understand Auction Process


Auction fees vary depending on the auction house and the item being auctioned. Common fees include the buyer’s premium, which is a percentage of the hammer price, and additional costs like shipping and handling. Knowing these fees upfront helps you avoid surprises.

Manual Calculation Methods

While you can calculate fees manually, it’s easy to make mistakes. To calculate the buyer’s premium, multiply the hammer price by the premium percentage. Add this to the hammer price to get the total cost. For multiple items, repeat this process for each item and sum the totals.
