About the Poshmark Fee Calculator
This Poshmark fee calculator shows exactly what Poshmark keeps when your item sells and what you earn. Enter the final sale price (after any offer you accept), any shipping discount you give the buyer, and what you paid for the item, and it returns the Poshmark fee, your earnings, net profit, margin and the lowest price that still breaks even.
It is built for closet sellers and resellers pricing clothing, shoes, bags and home goods, and for anyone weighing Poshmark against Mercari, eBay or Depop. Because Poshmark’s fee jumps from a flat amount to a percentage, it is especially useful for deciding how low to go on offers around the $15 mark.
Rules follow Poshmark’s US Terms of Service notice: a flat $2.95 fee on sales of $15 and under and a 20% fee on sales over $15, with no buyer protection fee charged to buyers since October 24, 2024. Shipping is paid by the buyer through Poshmark’s prepaid label, so it does not affect your fee unless you choose to discount it. Canada and other Poshmark markets use different fees.
With the default inputs, the net profit is $22.00. Change any value above to recalculate instantly.

Formula and method
Poshmark US charges sellers a flat $2.95 on sales of $15 and under and 20% of the sale price on sales over $15. The fee is calculated on the final item price after any accepted offer; the buyer pays shipping separately through Poshmark’s prepaid label, so shipping is not part of the fee.
Your earnings are the sale price minus the fee and any shipping discount you agreed to cover. Net profit also subtracts what you paid for the item and other costs such as supplies. The break-even price is the lowest sale price where profit reaches zero, using the flat fee if that price is $15 or less and the 20% rate above it.

Worked examples
$40 sale, $10 item cost
Over $15 the fee is 20%: $40 × 20% = $8, so you earn $32 and profit $22 after the $10 cost. Your break-even price is $12.95, where the $2.95 flat fee applies.
$12 item under the flat-fee limit
At $15 or less Poshmark charges a flat $2.95, which is 24.6% of a $12 sale. You earn $9.05 and keep $6.05 after a $3 cost.
$100 handbag with a free-shipping discount
The fee is 20% of $100 = $20. Covering $6.49 of the buyer’s shipping leaves earnings of $73.51 and profit of $38.51. To break even you would need to sell for at least ($35 + $6.49) ÷ 0.8 ≈ $51.86.
