Market Discussions

Hope I don't mix these up like I usually do....

Fees are based on station and faction standings shown here and goes to ~0.18

Taxes are based on skills, not sure atm about the cap on that. Your thread says taxes but because you included standings I believe you meant fees. I hope this is still accurate too.

The best tax rate you can get at an NPC station is 3% (1% tax and 2% brokerage). You can reduce the brokerage by listing in a Citadel market but not the tax.

This is how it worked before Citadels. I haven't seen a similar graph breaking down the relative importance of faction and corp standings but the current setup is minimum fees on a sale are 3% in an NPC station with perfect standings.



That's pretty good and close to ideal. Pushing your corp standings with Caldari Navy up will eliminate most of the rest of that 0.17%.

Aye - you only have to sell 33bil of goods a day to add up to a trillion in a month. And if you are flipping PLEX, say, you can easily run to five times that. The most I have turned over in a day was 500bil of orders, so 250bil of sales. At that rate that 0.01% in tax would be costing about 750mil a month.

Every standings increase is a percentage of the difference between your standings and 10.0. As you get close, the law of diminishing returns sets in with a vengeance. In a analog world, you could never actually achieve 10.0 but digital computers have finite resolution. Eventually they have to round up.

Thanks for all the replies everyone, greatly appreciated.
