How to use this tool?
This calculator estimates the total fees for a Copart vehicle purchase. Follow these steps:
- Enter Hammer Price – The winning bid amount in US dollars (e.g., 5000). Must be a non-negative number.
- Select Membership – Choose Basic (no annual fee), Premium, or Business ($59/year). This affects the buyer premium rate.
- Choose Buyer Type – Individual or Dealer. Dealer pricing uses a flat percentage with caps.
- Select Country – United States or Canada. Fee schedules differ by region.
- Pick Vehicle Type – Car/SUV/Van, Truck, or Motorcycle. (Note: current version uses same fee structure for all types.)
- Enter Optional Fees – Gate Fee, Environmental Fee, and Other Fees (default to $0). All must be non-negative.
- Click “Calculate Total Fees” – The total (hammer price + buyer premium + optional fees) appears below with a detailed breakdown.
Important: The buyer premium is calculated using Copart’s tiered schedule for Basic US individuals, or a percentage (with minimums and maximums) for other combinations. Actual fees may vary. All inputs are in US dollars.

The buyer premium is a fee added to the hammer price, varying by membership type, buyer type, and location. It covers Copart's service for facilitating the auction.
For Basic members in the US, the buyer premium follows a tiered schedule based on the hammer price, ranging from $25 for vehicles under $100 to a maximum of $1,000 plus 1% of the amount over $95,000.
Gate fees and environmental fees vary by location and vehicle type. They are not always charged, but we include them as optional inputs for a more accurate estimate.
