Poshmark Fee Calculator

This Poshmark fee calculator helps you see how much Poshmark keeps in commission and how much you actually take home from each sale. It’s designed for sellers who cross-list, run closets as a side hustle, or manage full-time reselling businesses and want a fast way to sanity-check prices and profit.

1. Enter what the buyer pays on Poshmark

In the first field, add the total amount the buyer pays in USD for a single order. That usually means item price plus shipping the buyer covers. The calculator treats this as the fee base and estimates Poshmark’s cut and your net payout as soon as you hit Calculate.

2. Add a target net if you know what you need to keep

If you already know how much you need to keep after Poshmark fees, use the “You want to keep after fees” box. Think of this as your post-fee earnings per sale before product cost, time, and packaging. When you enter a target net, the calculator works backwards and shows the minimum price the buyer should pay to leave that amount in your balance, plus the fees and effective fee rate at that price.

3. Match the fee inputs to Poshmark’s structure

Poshmark’s standard fee model is simple: a flat $2.95 for sales under $15, and 20% of the sale for $15 and up.:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} To keep the calculator flexible, the fee section uses a single percentage plus a fixed fee:

• Use the default 20% + $0.00 for typical sales of $15 or more.
• For low-priced items under $15, change the fields to 0% and $2.95 to mirror the flat fee.
• Adjust either field if Poshmark runs tests, promotions, or changes its fee structure again.

4. Read the breakdown to check if the sale is worth it

The results card gives you one headline number — either your net payout on the price you entered or the minimum price needed to reach your target net. Beneath that, you’ll see a breakdown of buyer pays, estimated Poshmark fees, net to you, and the effective fee percentage. That makes it easy to see whether a $12 tee or a $60 bundle still makes sense once Poshmark’s cut is taken out.

5. Use it when pricing, running offers, and cross-listing

Use this Poshmark fee calculator when you list new items, send offers to likers, or move inventory between platforms like Mercari and Depop. Try a few “what if” runs: raise your listing price, change the fee % to see the effect of different marketplaces, or increase your target net to leave extra room for shipping discounts and freebie bundles. The Copy summary button creates a clean, text-only breakdown you can paste into spreadsheets, sourcing docs, or chats with partners.

Remember that this tool focuses on Poshmark commission only. It does not factor in packaging, time, promo credits, or shipping discounts you choose to cover. Always double-check the final numbers in the Poshmark app and your payout history before locking in long-term pricing decisions.

This calculator models Poshmark using a simple percentage fee plus a fixed per-sale fee. Let G be the total amount the buyer pays in USD on Poshmark (item price plus any shipping they cover), r be the Poshmark fee percentage as a decimal (for example 0.20 for 20%), and f be any fixed fee per sale you choose to include (such as $2.95 for low-priced sales).

The total Poshmark fees in this model are:

Poshmark fees = G × r + f

The amount you receive after those fees is:

Net payout = G − (G × r + f)

When you enter a target net amount, the calculator rearranges the same relationship to solve for the sale price needed to leave that net after fees. If N is the net you want to keep, then the minimum buyer price is:

Required price = (N + f) ÷ (1 − r)

Finally, the effective fee percentage shown in the results is:

Effective fee % = Poshmark fees ÷ total sale × 100

That single number makes it easy to compare Poshmark against Mercari, Depop, or your own storefront and see how platform fees eat into your margins at different price points.
