EA FC 26 Tax Calculator
This is the EA tax calculator FC 26 traders actually need: every price it hands back is one you can really type into the transfer market. The EA tax (also called the FUT tax) is the 5% fee the market takes on every sale, and this tool shows exactly what you keep after it, the price to list at to hit any profit, the most you can safely pay when sniping, and how long a coin goal will take.
Why this calculator's prices are different
Most FUT tax calculators hand you a mathematically correct number you cannot use, like "list at 10,527". The transfer market only accepts prices on fixed steps, so 10,527 does not exist in the game. Every price this tool recommends is snapped to a real, listable step and the profit is recomputed at that real price. The steps below are taken verbatim from the constants inside EA's own FC 26 web app:
| Price range | Prices move in steps of |
|---|---|
| 150 to 1,000 | 50 |
| 1,000 to 10,000 | 100 |
| 10,000 to 50,000 | 250 |
| 50,000 to 100,000 | 500 |
| 100,000 to 15,000,000 | 1,000 |
Minimum bid is 150, minimum Buy Now is 200, and the market cap is exactly 15,000,000 coins.
How the tax math works
EA takes 5% of every sale, the cut traders call the EA tax (or FUT tax). This tool computes what you receive as the sale price multiplied by 0.95, rounded down to a whole coin, which matches the live behaviour of the major tax calculators we tested against. One honest footnote: EA has never published how it rounds the fraction of a coin, and the tax is applied on EA's servers. Because every valid market price is a multiple of 50, the only possible fraction is half a coin, so the worst case difference is a single coin. We round down so the tool never overstates what you will receive.
Is the EA tax the same as the FUT or FIFA tax?
Yes. They are all names for the same 5% fee the transfer market takes on every sale. "EA tax" and "FUT tax" are the terms players use in EA FC 26, while "FIFA tax" is the older name from before the EA Sports FC rebrand, so an old FIFA tax calculator and this EA FC tax calculator do exactly the same job. The tool works the same whichever you call it.
Quick tips for using it
- Type shorthand anywhere: 10.5k means 10,500 and 1.2m means 1,200,000.
- The + and − steppers move prices exactly like the in-game arrows, including the band boundaries (1,000 steps up to 1,100 but down to 950, just like the game).
- What to List At answers the real trading question in reverse: tell it your buy price and the profit you want, and it gives you the exact listable price.
- Snipe Ceiling is the number to write on a sticky note: the maximum you can pay and still clear your minimum profit. Copy it before a bidding war starts.
