How much is the OSRS GE tax?

The Grand Exchange charges 2% of the sale price per item, rounded down, paid by the seller. Tax is capped at 5,000,000 GP per item.

When does the 5M tax cap apply?

At 2%, the 5,000,000 GP cap is reached at a 250,000,000 GP sell price. Above that, you still pay only 5M tax, so the effective rate drops.

Profit per item = sell price − floor(sell × 0.02) − buy price (with the 5M tax cap). Thin margins often disappear once tax is included.
