Sample calculation
How OTTO calculates fees on a €79.95 women's shoe
The tiered structure sounds complicated, but it comes down to three steps. Category: Women's and Unisex Shoes, selling price €79.95.
-
1
Portion up to €50: 17% commission
€50.00 × 17% = €8.50
-
2
Portion above €50 up to €79.95: 15% commission
€29.95 × 15% = €4.49
-
3
Total commission: €12.99
That corresponds to an effective commission rate of around 16.3%. Payout before VAT on the commission: €79.95 minus €12.99 = €66.96.
