I'm looking for some kind of calculator that I can enter my trading skills, buy price, and sell price and it will tell me exactly what my profit will be.

Is there anything thing like this available?

I realize that but what is the formula to calculate the taxes and broker fees? I'm looking for an exact formula that takes skills into account. Mainly accounting and broker relations.

MarketTax % = 1.00 % - 0.10 % * AccountingSkillLevel

BrokerFee % = (1.00 % – 0.05 % × BrokerRelationsSkillLevel) / e ^ (0.10 × FactionStanding + 0.04 × CorporationStanding)

EDIT: As you see, skills are easy, but the standings are a bit more involved.

EDIT 2: Also note that broker fee is taken from all market orders (both buy and sell) and market tax is taken from sell orders and direct sells.

Buy order: broker fee
Sell order: broker fee + market tax
Direct buy: no expenses
Direct sell: market tax

ps. Hopefully I got everything right here.

EDIT 3: I forgot to mention that those standings are unmodified standings, i.e. without bonus from skills like Connections.

Something like this? Tax/broker is calculated on the next page based on skills and standing. Dropdown menu for trade hub (up to 4, as well as broker taxes based if it comes from a buy order or not. Can use the picture for ideas if you want. If you wish a clean Trade only copy I'm selling it for 1B. Other pages not included as they are secret :P

Easiest way to work out your particular taxes/brokers fee's are to sell something, even a unit of trit, you don't even have to sell it, just start making the order, put it up for 1000 isk or something and you'll see your percentages listed in the box before you confirm.

You'll have to go over 100 isk as the minimum brokers fee is 100 isk if I remember, far easier than messing about with working out skills / standings.

Once you've got your figures, then working out the rest is easy.
