Lost Ark Auction Calculator — Optimal Raid Bid
Enter an expected sale price to calculate a Legion Raid auction break-even bid. This is not a live market-price or listing lookup.
What is the auction calculator?
It computes the optimal bid for an item put up for auction in a Legion Raid. It applies the 5% trade-house fee to the expected sale price you enter, then shows the 'equal-share bid' and 'max-profit bid'. It does not look up live listings or market prices, and it is separate from the bus-fee and 1-main/3-alt distribution calculators.
How to use
- 1 Enter the item's expected sale price in gold.
- 2 Confirm the party size (usually 4 or 8).
- 3 Read the 'equal-share bid' and 'max-profit bid' and use them as your ceiling.
Highlights

The ceiling where the winner gains the most (trade gain ÷ 1.1).
Fee applied automatically
The 5% trade-house fee is deducted for you.
