FIDE rating would probably be a bit higher, i'd say around 1650-1700
what is the equivalent level in Fide for someone who has 1500 in chess.com?

There is no reason why that would be the case

Aside from mod-deleted posts where someone accuses an opponent of cheating, “what would my FIDE rating be” posts are the most common.
The consensus seems to be 100-200 points lower, but there’s no way to know for sure. Also, since there really isn’t classical on chess.com, there’s absolutely no way to reliably compare yours to a classical rating.

All you have to do is look at the leaderboard in Rapid to see that everyone’s FIDE rating is lower. Giri has the highest Rapid rating on chess.com and it’s almost 200 points higher than his FIDE.

My FIDE is very very low compared to my online rating across all sites, and my national federation rating.
Maybe it's because I don't play in FIDE tournaments, but FIDE rating is much harder to gain in general, compared to online chess.
It seems pretty obvious to me. Your Chess.com rating is gonna be higher because it’s more easily accessible, so there’s a lot more beginners who have no idea what they’re doing, meaning if you have even a slight knowledge of chess you can win a lot of matches early on, inflating your ELO.
But a beginner will rarely, if ever, go to a tournament. The weakest players you’ll see at a tournament would be like an 800 chess.com rated player. And since at the tournament he’s the lowest and wouldn’t win any matches, he would have an extremely low FIDE ranking, even lower than 800.

but that should only effect beginners really. It won't have a big effect for intermediate and top level players.

It also depends on one more factor, Some players play much better OTB compared Online and some play Online better than OTB. In general I have observed, Players having 100-200 higher rating online compared to OTB.

If you look at all the top rated rapid players on chess.com and compare it to their FIDE, for almost all of them the chess.com rating is 100-300 points higher.

I’d suspect a 1500 blitz player is around 1300 FIDE.
I doubt this

Blitz ratings are even more inflated on chess.com. Compared to FIDE, most top players have a chess.com rating that is 200-400 points higher.
