At today’s prices

GE tax

The tax takes 3% of the gap.

Each sale at 2,503 GP pays 50 GP in tax. That’s 3% of the 1,800 GP gap between the typical buy and sell prices above.

Bought at 703 GP, it has to sell for at least 717 GP to break even.

High alch

Selling pays more right now.

High Level Alchemy gives 3 GP. A nature rune costs 152 GP, so a cast loses 149 GP. A GE sale at 2,503 GP leaves 2,453 GP after the tax.

If its buy offer wouldn’t have filled, we leave it out. These are tests, not trades players made. Newer tests count more. How we test

Margin is the average sell price minus the average buy price and the 2% tax, for each hour. A big margin doesn’t mean your offers will fill. Prices and trades come from RuneLite players, through the OSRS Wiki.
