In NPC stations broker fee starts at 5% and is reduced by {{sk|Broker Relations}} skill, the standing towards station owner faction and the standing towards station owner corporation.

Important to note is that the broker fee is based on unmodified standings and does not take any standing skills into account.

In player owned [[Upwell structures|Upwell structure]] markets the broker fee is set by the structure owner. Skills have no impact on this fee. The structure owned can set different tax rates for different standings.
