NFT marketplace fees typically include: platform fee (2-2.5% on most marketplaces), creator royalties (5-10%, set by the original creator), and gas fees for blockchain transactions. Net profit = Sale Price − Purchase Price − Platform Fee − Royalties − Gas Fees. NFT profits are subject to capital gains tax in most jurisdictions.
Profit = Sell Price − Buy Price − Gas Fees − Platform Fees
