1. What is the Copart Fee Calculator?

The Copart Fee Calculator estimates auction fees for vehicle purchases through Copart Canada. It calculates the total fees based on bid value, commission rate, and fixed fees.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Copart fee formula:

Where:

• \( CF \) — Copart Fee (total auction fees)
• \( BV \) — Bid Value (winning bid amount in CAD)
• \( R \) — Rate (commission rate as decimal)
• \( F \) — Fixed Fee (additional fixed charges in CAD)

Explanation: The equation calculates the total auction fees by multiplying the bid value by the commission rate and adding any fixed fees.
