Auction fee calculator
Enter a winning bid to see the real cost after buyer fees — pick from seven presets across the US, UK, Australia, the UAE and South Africa, or leave every fee switched on for a worst‑case number.
Adds a landed‑cost line to your total — handy if you're importing the vehicle.
Figures are estimates built from publicly typical fee structures, not live rate cards. Confirm exact fees with the auction house before bidding.
Your bid is converted at indicative exchange rates so every row represents roughly the same vehicle value, then each house's own default fees are applied. Totals are shown in USD for reference only.
| Auction | Region | Equivalent bid | Fees | Total (local) | Total (USD, ref.) |

Most auction houses charge extra when you bid remotely through their website or app rather than in person. It's usually a flat fee added on top of the buyer's premium — switch it off above if you're bidding through an in‑person agent instead.
Depends on where the vehicle ends up. Export sales are commonly zero‑rated or exempt, while local domestic purchases usually aren't. The tax toggle is off by default for that reason — turn it on and set the rate if it applies to you.
Fee schedules change and vary by yard, member tier and vehicle type. This tool gives you a realistic planning estimate — always confirm the final number against the auction house's current rate card before you bid.
