Copart Fee Calculator – Calculate Total Car Auction Costs in Seconds

The Copart Fee Calculator is an online tool designed to estimate the total cost of buying a vehicle from Copart auctions by including essential fees such as buyer fee, gate fee, internet fee, and location-based surcharges.

What Is Copart?

Copart is one of the largest online car auction platforms where users can bid on salvage, clean title, and used vehicles. While the platform is open to dealers and individuals, many new buyers are surprised by the additional fees that get added on top of the winning bid.

That's where the Copart Fee Calculator comes in.

How the Copart Fee Calculator Works

This calculator simplifies the entire fee breakdown by letting you input just two things:

Your winning bid amount
Whether the vehicle is located in-state or out-of-state

The calculator then estimates:

Buyer Fee (10% of the bid)
Gate Fee ($79)
Internet Fee ($59)
Location Fee ($35 in-state or $100 out-of-state)

Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Calculator

1. Enter Winning Bid

Type the price you're bidding on a car — e.g., $5,000.

2. Select Vehicle Location

Choose between:

“In-State” – you are in the same state as the Copart yard.
“Out-of-State” – if the car is from a different state.

3. Click “Calculate Copart Fees”

You’ll instantly see:

All fee components
Total fees
Final estimated cost (bid + fees)

Example Calculation

Let’s say:

You bid $5,000
The vehicle is out of state

Estimated Fees:

Buyer Fee: $500 (10%)
Gate Fee: $79
Internet Fee: $59
Location Fee: $100

Total Fees: $738
Final Cost: $5,738

Why This Calculator Matters

Many buyers underestimate their total cost, which can lead to budget issues, especially when shipping, repairs, or registration are also needed. This calculator ensures you're making informed decisions before placing your bid.
