Depop Fee Calculator

This Depop fee calculator helps you see how much of each sale goes to Depop and payment processing, and how much you actually keep in your balance. It’s built for resellers, side hustlers, and full-time Depop shops that want a fast way to test prices, compare platforms, and protect profit on every order.

1. Start with what the buyer pays on Depop

In the first field, enter the total amount the buyer pays in USD for a single Depop order. That usually means item price plus any buyer-paid shipping. The calculator treats this as the fee base and estimates total Depop fees and your net payout as soon as you hit Calculate.

2. Add a target net if you have a profit goal

Use the “You want to keep after fees” box if you know how much you want left after Depop and payment charges. When you enter a target net, the calculator works backward to show the minimum price the buyer must pay to leave that amount in your balance, plus the fees and effective fee rate at that price.

3. Match the fee inputs to your Depop account

Because Depop’s structure can vary by region and whether you use Depop Payments or PayPal, this tool uses a flexible percentage + fixed fee model. You can:

• Use the defaults to approximate a typical Depop Payments processing fee for US sellers.
• Swap to 10% + $0.00 if you want to model a classic Depop selling fee on the full transaction.
• Plug in your exact percentage and fixed fee if you know them from Depop’s help docs or your payout reports.

4. Read the breakdown and sanity-check your margin

The results card shows one main headline: either your net payout per sale on the price you entered or the minimum price needed to reach your target net. Under that you get a breakdown of buyer pays, total fees, net to you, and the effective fee rate. That makes it easy to see how much room is left for product cost, shipping, ad spend, and your own time.

5. Use it to compare Depop pricing and cross-listing

Run a few “what if” scenarios: increase the buyer price, tweak the fee percentage, or adjust the fixed fee to see how your net changes. Then compare the same item across Depop, Mercari, and Poshmark using your other tools to decide where it makes the most sense to list. The Copy summary button gives you a clean text breakdown you can paste into spreadsheets, sourcing notes, or chats with partners.

Keep in mind this is an unofficial estimator. It does not include boosting fees, taxes, customs, or your own product and shipping costs. Always double-check final fees and payouts in the Depop app or your payment provider before locking in long-term pricing decisions.

This calculator models Depop using a simple percentage fee plus a fixed fee per sale. Let G be the total amount the buyer pays in USD on Depop (item price plus any shipping you include), r be the combined Depop / payment fee percentage as a decimal (for example 0.033 for 3.3%), and f be the fixed fee in USD (for example 0.45).

The total Depop fees under this model are:

Depop fees = G × r + f

The amount you receive after those fees is:

Net payout = G − (G × r + f)

When you enter a target net instead of just a sale price, the calculator rearranges the same equation to solve for the buyer price that leaves that amount after fees. If N is your desired net in USD, the minimum total the buyer must pay is:

Required price = (N + f) ÷ (1 − r)

The effective fee rate shown in the results is simply:

Effective fee % = Depop fees ÷ total sale × 100

That gives you a quick, apples-to-apples way to compare Depop against other marketplaces or your own shop and see how much of each order is lost to platform and payment fees before your own costs.
