Sample Calculation

If you're a Singaporean seller selling to a UK buyer for SGD 100, and the seller commission is 4.99%, your net earnings will be SGD 93.66, calculated as follows:

Selling Price SGD 100.00
- G2G Seller Commission @ 4.99% SGD 4.99
- SG GST (SGD 4.99 x SG GST @ 7%) SGD 0.35
- UK VAT (SGD 4.99 x UK VAT @ 20%) SGD 1.00
Net Earning Payable to Seller SGD 93.66
