What is the EA FC 27 tax calculator?

Every time you sell a card on the FC 27 transfer market, EA takes 5% of the price. A card that sells for 100,000 coins pays you 95,000. That small cut is why many flips that look profitable lose coins, and why traders always check the numbers before they list.

This EA FC 27 tax calculator does the maths for one card or a bulk batch of up to 100, so you can check fodder flips and big player trades the same way.

EA FC 27 tax formulas

  • EA tax = sell price x 0.05
  • Coins received = sell price x 0.95
  • Profit = coins received minus buy price
  • Break-even sell price = buy price / 0.95, rounded up to the next valid price
  • Safe snipe max buy = market price x 0.85

EA FC 27 tax calculator worked example

You buy a card for 85,000 and sell it for 95,000. EA takes 4,750, so you receive 90,250 and make 5,250 profit. The raw break-even is 89,474, which rounds up to 89,500 on the market. If the card trades at 95,000, a safe snipe price with a 15% margin is 80,750.

Tips for trading in FC 27

  • Always use the break-even price, not your buy price, as your lowest listing.
  • Small fodder flips need a bigger gap, since the price steps eat into thin margins.
  • Buy SBC fodder after the market dips, often when a new promo releases packs.
  • Before you buy fodder, check how many points it gives with the EA FC 27 item score calculator.
