Your two sale scenarios
The worksheet runs locally in your browser; no character login, market API or data submission is required. The starter values are illustrative only, not current EVE market prices or official transaction fee rates. Replace every assumption with your actual situation.
Calculating example…
*The additional-net figure compares net proceeds for only the number of units assumed to fill against an immediate sale of those same units, plus each route's entered fixed costs. Unfilled inventory is not included in the sell-order net. This is a scenario, not a forecast that an order will fill.
How the math works
Immediate-route net = quantity × immediate buyer price × (1 − immediate fee percentage) − immediate-route hauling cost. Sell-order net = quantity × expected fill fraction × sell price × (1 − sell-order fee percentage) − sell-order hauling cost. The comparison adjusts immediate-route volume to the same assumed filled quantity. Order cancellation charges, updates, price movement, broker differences between orders, storage costs, risk and time are not modeled unless you include them in your assumptions.
This worksheet does not query ESI. To fetch a current observed item quote, first use Market Search. Check depth at the intended station, then return here and enter realistic executable prices. If your stack is large, lower the expected fill percentage or consider splitting the order. Fees differ by skills, venue, corporation and trading arrangement.
What this cannot predict
A buy order can disappear before you sell. A placed sell order may never fill, may fill slowly, or may require price adjustments. The worksheet also does not simulate location-specific order range, broker standing, escrow, shipping losses, or inventory liquidity. Use it as a comparison of clearly stated inputs, not as a guaranteed profit calculator.
