Poshmark Fee Calculator
See your real profit after Poshmark’s selling fee.
Short answer
Poshmark takes a flat 20% on sales of $15 or more, and a flat $2.95 on anything under $15. On a $50 sale that is $10.00, the highest headline commission of any major resale marketplace.

Poshmark takes a flat $2.95 when an item sells for under $15, and 20% of the sale price when it sells for $15 or more. At exactly $15 the 20% applies, so the fee is $3.00. On a $10 sale you keep $7.05. On a $25 sale you keep $20. On a $100 sale you keep $80.
That is the whole fee rule, and it is the rule the Poshmark Fee Calculator applies. The rest of this guide is the part that decides whether a sale is worth making: the full fee table from $5 to $500, what really happens at the $15 line, how to price for a payout you want, and what offers, bundles and your own costs do to the number. Poshmark sets its own fees and can change them, so confirm the current figures on Poshmark's own fee page before you reprice a closet.
How much does Poshmark take?
Poshmark takes one seller fee per sale, and which fee applies depends only on the sale price.
| Sale price | Poshmark fee |
|---|---|
| Under $15 | Flat $2.95 |
| $15 or more | 20% of the sale price |
The rule, exactly as the calculator applies it
The calculator checks the sale price against $15 and picks one of two fees:
- Sale price under $15: fee = $2.95, whatever the price. A $3 sale and a $14.99 sale both pay $2.95.
- Sale price of $15 or more: fee = sale price × 0.20, rounded to the nearest cent.
- Exactly $15.00: "under $15" is false, so the 20% applies. $15 × 0.20 = $3.00.
- A sale price of $0: no sale, no fee.
It then works out two more numbers:
net profit = sale price − Poshmark fee − your cost profit margin = net profit ÷ sale price × 100
There is no listing fee, no monthly charge and no separate payment-processing line in the calculator. It models one fee per sale and nothing else.
Three sales worked through
A $10 top. $10 is under $15, so the fee is the flat $2.95. You keep $10 − $2.95 = $7.05. As a share of the sale, $2.95 ÷ $10 = 29.5%.
A $15 scarf. $15 is not under $15, so the fee is 20%. $15 × 0.20 = $3.00. You keep $12.00.
A $50 jacket that cost you $20. $50 × 0.20 = $10 fee. $50 − $10 = $40 payout. $40 − $20 cost = $20 net profit, and $20 ÷ $50 = a 40% margin. These are the calculator's default inputs, so this is exactly what it shows when you open it.
Poshmark fees on $5 to $500: what Poshmark takes and what you keep
Every row below is the calculator's rule applied to that sale price. "You keep" is the sale price minus the fee, before your own cost of the item. The last column is the fee as a share of the sale, which is the number that tells you how expensive a sale really is.
| Sale price | Poshmark fee | You keep | Fee as % of sale |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5.00 | $2.95 | $2.05 | 59.00% |
| $10.00 | $2.95 | $7.05 | 29.50% |
| $14.00 | $2.95 | $11.05 | 21.07% |
| $15.00 | $3.00 | $12.00 | 20.00% |
| $16.00 | $3.20 | $12.80 | 20.00% |
| $20.00 | $4.00 | $16.00 | 20.00% |
| $25.00 | $5.00 | $20.00 | 20.00% |
| $30.00 | $6.00 | $24.00 | 20.00% |
| $50.00 | $10.00 | $40.00 | 20.00% |
| $75.00 | $15.00 | $60.00 | 20.00% |
| $100.00 | $20.00 | $80.00 | 20.00% |
| $150.00 | $30.00 | $120.00 | 20.00% |
| $200.00 | $40.00 | $160.00 | 20.00% |
| $300.00 | $60.00 | $240.00 | 20.00% |
| $500.00 | $100.00 | $400.00 | 20.00% |
Two things stand out. From $15 upward the fee is always exactly one fifth of the sale, so you always keep 80 cents of every dollar. Below $15 the fee does not shrink with the price, so the cheaper the item, the bigger the bite: 59% of a $5 sale, 29.5% of a $10 sale. And notice what the table does not show: a big jump at $15. The fee goes from $2.95 at $14 to $3.00 at $15. The expensive part of Poshmark's fee is not the line itself, it is everything well below it. The section on the $15 line below works through that.
Poshmark fees on common sale prices, one by one
How much does Poshmark take from a $5 sale?
Poshmark takes $2.95 from a $5 sale and you keep $2.05. That is 59% of the sale. If the item cost you $2, your profit is $2.05 − $2.00 = $0.05, a 1% margin. Poshmark earns 59 times what you do on that sale.
What is the Poshmark fee on a $10 item?
The fee on a $10 item is $2.95, leaving you $7.05. If the flat fee were replaced by the 20% rate, the fee would be $10 × 0.20 = $2.00, so being under $15 costs you $0.95 extra on this sale.
How much does Poshmark take on a $15 sale?
On a $15 sale Poshmark takes $3.00, which is 20%, and you keep $12.00. At exactly $15 the percentage fee applies, not the flat fee. A $14.99 sale keeps $12.04, four cents more than $15.00 does.
What does Poshmark take from a $20 sale?
Poshmark takes $4.00 from a $20 sale and you keep $16.00. If the item cost you $8, your profit is $8.00, a 40% margin on the sale price.
Poshmark fee on a $25 sale
The fee on a $25 sale is $25 × 0.20 = $5.00, and you keep $20.00. Bought for $8, that is $12 profit and a 48% margin.
How much does Poshmark take from $30?
Poshmark takes $6.00 from a $30 sale, leaving $24.00. With a $12 cost, profit is $12 and the margin is 40%.
How much do you keep from a $50 Poshmark sale?
You keep $40.00 from a $50 sale after Poshmark's $10.00 fee. Subtract what the item cost you to get profit: $20 cost leaves $20, $30 cost leaves $10.
Poshmark fee on a $75 item
A $75 sale pays a $15.00 fee and you keep $60.00. Note that the fee on this one sale is larger than the entire price of an item in the flat-fee band.
How much does Poshmark take from $100?
Poshmark takes $20.00 from a $100 sale and you keep $80.00. To keep a full $100, you would need to sell at $100 ÷ 0.80 = $125.
Poshmark fees on $200, $300 and $500
- $200 sale: $40 fee, you keep $160.
- $300 sale: $60 fee, you keep $240.
- $500 sale: $100 fee, you keep $400.
At these prices the percentage never changes, but the dollar amount becomes significant. Every $10 you negotiate off a $300 item costs you $8, because the fee also falls by $2.
What happens at exactly $15 on Poshmark
The fee switches from flat to percentage at $15, and the switch is smaller than most sellers expect. Here is the price range around the line, every figure from the calculator's rule:
| Sale price | Poshmark fee | You keep | Fee as % of sale |
|---|---|---|---|
| $14.00 | $2.95 | $11.05 | 21.07% |
| $14.50 | $2.95 | $11.55 | 20.34% |
| $14.75 | $2.95 | $11.80 | 20.00% |
| $14.99 | $2.95 | $12.04 | 19.68% |
| $15.00 | $3.00 | $12.00 | 20.00% |
| $15.05 | $3.01 | $12.04 | 20.00% |
| $15.06 | $3.01 | $12.05 | 19.99% |
| $16.00 | $3.20 | $12.80 | 20.00% |
At the line itself the fee rises by five cents, from $2.95 to $3.00, and what you keep drops by four cents, from $12.04 to $12.00. That is the entire jump.
The finding that matters is the $14.75 row. $2.95 is exactly 20% of $14.75 ($2.95 ÷ 0.20 = $14.75). So:
- Below $14.75, the flat $2.95 is more than 20% of the sale, and the lower the price, the worse it gets.
- From $14.75 to $14.99, the flat $2.95 is slightly less than 20%, the only prices on Poshmark where you pay under a fifth.
- From $15.00 up, you pay 20%, give or take a hundredth of a percent from rounding to the cent.
Is it better to price just under or just over $15 on Poshmark?
Just under wins, by a few cents, until you are at least six cents over.
- At $14.99 you keep $14.99 − $2.95 = $12.04.
- At $15.00 you keep $15.00 × 0.80 = $12.00.
- To beat $12.04 in the percentage band you need 0.80 × price to be more than $12.04, which means a price above $12.04 ÷ 0.80 = $15.05.
So every price from $15.00 to $15.04 leaves you with less than $14.99 would. $15.05 ties it. $15.06 and up beats it. The difference is never more than four cents, so do not lose sleep over it, but there is no reason to list at a round $15 when $14.99 pays more.
Where the flat fee actually hurts
The real pricing decision is not $14.99 against $15.00. It is what to do with items worth well under $15, where the flat fee takes a quarter to a half of the sale.
| Sale price | Fee as % of sale |
|---|---|
| $5.00 | 59.00% |
| $7.00 | 42.14% |
| $8.00 | 36.88% |
| $10.00 | 29.50% |
| $12.00 | 24.58% |
| $14.00 | 21.07% |
A $5 item and a $14 item pay the same $2.95. If an item could reasonably sell for $14, pricing it at $8 hands a much bigger share to the fee.
A dollar under $15 is worth more than a dollar over it
Inside the flat band the fee does not move, so every extra dollar of price is a full extra dollar to you. Above $15, every extra dollar is 80 cents to you, because 20 cents goes to the fee.
- Raising a price from $10 to $14 lifts what you keep from $7.05 to $11.05, a gain of $4.00.
- Raising a price from $15 to $19 lifts what you keep from $12.00 to $15.20, a gain of $3.20.
The same logic runs in reverse on offers, covered below: a dollar knocked off a $12 item costs you a dollar, a dollar knocked off a $40 item costs you 80 cents.
What to price an item on Poshmark to keep a set amount
Work backwards from the payout you want, before your own cost:
If the payout you want is $12.04 or less: price = payout + $2.95 If the payout you want is more than $12.04: price = payout ÷ 0.80
| Payout you want | Price to list at | Check |
|---|---|---|
| $5.00 | $7.95 | $7.95 − $2.95 = $5.00 |
| $8.00 | $10.95 | $10.95 − $2.95 = $8.00 |
| $10.00 | $12.95 | $12.95 − $2.95 = $10.00 |
| $12.00 | $14.95 | $14.95 − $2.95 = $12.00 |
| $15.00 | $18.75 | $18.75 − $3.75 = $15.00 |
| $20.00 | $25.00 | $25.00 − $5.00 = $20.00 |
| $30.00 | $37.50 | $37.50 − $7.50 = $30.00 |
| $40.00 | $50.00 | $50.00 − $10.00 = $40.00 |
| $50.00 | $62.50 | $62.50 − $12.50 = $50.00 |
| $80.00 | $100.00 | $100.00 − $20.00 = $80.00 |
| $100.00 | $125.00 | $125.00 − $25.00 = $100.00 |
To build in a profit on top of your cost, add the cost to the payout first. An item that cost you $10, on which you want $15 profit, needs a $25 payout: $25 ÷ 0.80 = $31.25. Check it: $31.25 × 0.20 = $6.25 fee, $31.25 − $6.25 − $10 = $15.
Dividing by 0.80 is not the same as adding 20%. Adding 20% to a $40 target gives $48, and $48 × 0.80 = $38.40, $1.60 short. That mistake is covered with the others at the end.
These prices are what the item needs to sell for. If you expect buyers to make offers, the listing price has to sit above them.
What is the Poshmark fee charged on?
In the calculator, the fee is charged on the sale price you enter, and nothing else. Specifically:
- One number decides the fee. The sale price is both the amount the $15 test is run against and the amount the 20% is multiplied by.
- Shipping is not part of it. The calculator has no shipping field, so nothing the buyer pays for postage is added to the fee base.
- Your cost does not change the fee. The fee on a $40 sale is $8 whether the item cost you $2 or $35.
- The 20% is rounded to the nearest cent. $15.04 × 0.20 = $3.008, which the calculator shows as $3.01.
- The price is the final price. Enter what the item actually sold for, after any offer or price drop, not the price it was first listed at. The fee follows the sale.
One difference to know about between TallyCrunch tools. The Marketplace Fee Comparison Calculator uses one set of inputs for every platform, including a "shipping charged" amount, and its Poshmark row applies the same 20% and $15 test to item price plus shipping charged. A $12 item entered there with $5 shipping charged is tested as a $17 order, so the Poshmark row shows a $3.40 fee, where this calculator shows $2.95 for the same $12 item. If you are only checking a Poshmark sale, use the Poshmark calculator, and if you use the comparison tool, keep in mind which base it is using.
Exactly what Poshmark itself includes in the fee base is set by Poshmark's terms, not by any calculator, so check its current fee page if a sale involves anything unusual.
Poshmark fee calculator: what it works out and what it leaves out
The calculator takes two inputs and gives back a full breakdown instantly, with no button to press.
What you enter:
- Sale price: what the item sold for, or what you are thinking of listing it at.
- Your cost: what the item cost you. Put everything in here that you actually spent on this one item, not just the purchase price.
What it shows:
- Net profit per sale, the headline figure, in green when you make money and red when you do not.
- Profit margin, net profit as a percentage of the sale price.
- A split bar showing how the sale price divides into your cost, Poshmark's fee and your profit.
- A breakdown table: sale price, product cost, Poshmark fee and net profit.
What it does not do: it has no inputs for shipping, offers, bundle discounts or tax, and it does not compare Poshmark with other platforms. You can still handle most of those by adjusting the two inputs, as the next sections show. It also applies the US dollar rule described above. If you sell on Poshmark in another country, check the fee for that market, because the flat amount and threshold may not be the same.
Enter a sale price below $2.95 and the calculator shows a loss before any cost at all, because the flat fee is larger than the sale.
Poshmark profit after fees and cost of goods
What you keep after the fee is a payout, not a profit. Profit comes after the cost of the item. These are the calculator's results for a range of sales:
| Sale price | Your cost | Poshmark fee | Net profit | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $5.00 | $2.00 | $2.95 | $0.05 | 1.00% |
| $8.00 | $2.00 | $2.95 | $3.05 | 38.13% |
| $13.00 | $4.00 | $2.95 | $6.05 | 46.54% |
| $14.99 | $6.00 | $2.95 | $6.04 | 40.29% |
| $15.00 | $6.00 | $3.00 | $6.00 | 40.00% |
| $20.00 | $8.00 | $4.00 | $8.00 | 40.00% |
| $25.00 | $8.00 | $5.00 | $12.00 | 48.00% |
| $40.00 | $15.00 | $8.00 | $17.00 | 42.50% |
| $50.00 | $20.00 | $10.00 | $20.00 | 40.00% |
| $60.00 | $25.00 | $12.00 | $23.00 | 38.33% |
The row to look at is $8 with a $2 cost. The fee is $2.95 and your profit is $3.05, so Poshmark takes almost as much from the sale as you make from it. On the $50 row the fee is $10 and profit is $20, half as much. Cheap items are not just lower profit, they are a worse split.
What else affects what you keep on Poshmark
Shipping
The Poshmark calculator has no shipping input, and how postage is charged on Poshmark, including who pays for what, is set by Poshmark and can change. The practical rule is simple: if any shipping cost ends up coming out of your money, add it to "Your cost". That includes a shipping discount you choose to offer a buyer, and packaging you buy. A $25 sale on an $8 item makes $12. Spend $2 on a mailer and it makes $10, and the margin falls from 48% to 40%.
Cost of goods and margin
"Your cost" should be the real cost of getting that item sold: what you paid for it, plus any cleaning, repair, tags or packaging you spent on it. Leave those out and the calculator overstates your profit on every sale.
Margin and markup are easy to mix up. The Profit Margin Calculator shows both from a cost and a selling price. A useful way to use it with Poshmark is to enter your payout after the fee as the selling price. An item bought for $8 and sold for $25 pays out $20. Entering cost $8 and price $20 gives $12 profit, a 60% margin on the payout and a 150% markup on your cost. The Poshmark calculator shows the same $12 as a 48% margin, because it divides by the $25 sale price instead. Same profit, different base, so compare like with like.
Offers and price drops
The fee is worked out on the price the item finally sells for, so an accepted offer changes the fee as well as the price. Take an item listed at $20:
| Price accepted | Poshmark fee | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| $20.00 | $4.00 | $16.00 |
| $17.00 | $3.40 | $13.60 |
| $15.00 | $3.00 | $12.00 |
| $14.00 | $2.95 | $11.05 |
| $12.00 | $2.95 | $9.05 |
Going from $20 to $15 costs you $4.00 of payout for $5.00 off, because the fee falls too. Going from $15 to $12 costs you $2.95 for $3.00 off, almost dollar for dollar, because under $15 the fee stays at $2.95. Offers that cross below $15 are more expensive to accept than they look.
Discounts and promotions
The Discount Margin Calculator shows what a percentage-off sale does to profit once fees are counted. For a Poshmark sale, enter the platform fee as 20% and the fixed fee per order as $0. Take a $50 item that cost $15, discounted 30%:
- Full price: $50, fee $10, profit $25, margin 50%.
- 30% off: $35, fee $7, profit $13, margin 37.14%.
- Profit lost per sale: $12.
- It also works out that you would need 93 extra sales for every 100 to make the same total profit, and that profit reaches zero at 62.5% off.
That tool applies a single percentage fee, so it matches Poshmark only while the discounted price stays at $15 or more. If a discount takes the price under $15, check that price in the Poshmark calculator instead, where the flat $2.95 applies.
Bundles
A bundle sold as one order is one sale, so one fee applies to the combined price. For low-priced items that is a large saving.
Three $8 items sold separately: 3 × $2.95 = $8.85 in fees, and you keep $24.00 − $8.85 = $15.15.
The same three items as one $24 bundle: $24 × 0.20 = $4.80 fee, and you keep $19.20.
That is $4.05 more for the same three items. Even with a 10% bundle discount, the bundle sells for $21.60, the fee is $4.32, and you keep $17.28, still $2.13 more than selling separately.
Two $7 items show the same thing inside the flat band. Separately they pay $5.90 in fees and you keep $8.10. As one $14 sale they pay $2.95 and you keep $11.05. To check a bundle in the calculator, enter the bundle's total price as the sale price and the combined cost of the items as your cost.
Tax on Poshmark sales
If you sell in the US, profit from reselling can be taxable income, and reporting rules for payment apps and marketplaces have changed more than once in recent years. The general principle, confirm it with the IRS or a tax professional: a gain on a personal item you sell is generally taxable, while a loss on a personal item is generally not deductible. Buying items specifically to resell for profit is usually treated as a business, and business profit is taxed differently. If Poshmark is a business for you, the Self-Employment Tax Calculator helps estimate what your profit owes on top of income tax. The Poshmark calculator itself does not deduct any tax.
Poshmark vs other resale platforms: comparing fees
This page deliberately does not quote other platforms' fees. Several resale and marketplace fees have changed recently, and a stale rate is exactly what leads a seller to list in the wrong place.
The honest comparison is not headline percentage against headline percentage. Platforms differ in whether the percentage is charged on shipping as well as the item, whether there is a fixed charge on every order, and whether low-priced sales get a flat fee the way Poshmark's do. Two platforms with the same headline rate can pay out noticeably different amounts on the same order.
The Marketplace Fee Comparison Calculator handles that for you. Enter one item price, the shipping you charge, your product cost and your shipping cost, and it ranks what the same order nets on Shopify, TikTok Shop, Etsy, eBay, Amazon, Walmart, Poshmark and a PayPal invoice, best to worst. It also shows the gap between the best and worst channel on that order, and over 120 orders a year, which it treats as 10 a month. Check each platform's current published fees as well before you commit a batch of inventory to one of them.
Fees are only part of the choice. Whether a platform's buyers are looking for your kind of item, how quickly things sell there, and how shipping works for your sizes and weights can matter as much as a few points of commission.
Common Poshmark fee mistakes
Assuming Poshmark takes 20% of everything. On a $10 sale it takes 29.5%, and on a $5 sale 59%.
Listing at $15.00 to "get into" the percentage band. $15.00 keeps $12.00. $14.99 keeps $12.04. There is nothing to gain at exactly $15.
Adding 20% instead of dividing by 0.80. To keep $40 you need a $50 sale, not $48. Adding 20% leaves you $1.60 short.
Running the numbers on the listing price. The fee follows the price the item sells for. Price your profit on the offer you expect to accept.
Accepting an offer under $15 without checking. Dropping from $15 to $12 costs you $2.95 of a $3.00 difference, because the fee does not fall with the price.
Selling cheap items one at a time. Three $8 items sold separately keep $15.15. Bundled at $24, they keep $19.20.
Treating the payout as profit. A $25 sale pays $20, but if the item cost $8 and the mailer $2, the profit is $10.
Expecting the comparison tool and the Poshmark calculator to match with shipping entered. The comparison tool includes shipping charged in Poshmark's fee base. The Poshmark calculator does not have a shipping field.
The bottom line
Poshmark takes $2.95 on a sale under $15 and 20% on a sale of $15 or more, with exactly $15 paying 20%. The line itself barely matters, a few cents at most, and $14.99 pays out slightly more than $15.00. What matters is how far below $15 you sell: under $14.75 the flat fee takes more than a fifth, and on a $5 item it takes more than half. Price to the payout you need using price = payout ÷ 0.80, bundle cheap items into one sale, and check what an offer does to the fee before you accept it. Run your own sale price and cost through the Poshmark Fee Calculator, and confirm Poshmark's current fees on its own site before you rely on any figure here.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Poshmark take per sale?
Poshmark takes a flat $2.95 on sales under $15, and 20% on sales of $15 or more. That single fee covers payment processing too. There are no listing or monthly fees.
What is the Poshmark fee on a $50 sale?
Since $50 is above the $15 threshold, the fee is 20%: $50 × 0.20 = $10. You keep $40 before your own product cost.
Why is the Poshmark fee so high on cheap items?
The flat $2.95 fee on sales under $15 is a large percentage of a small sale, 29.5% on a $10 item, and even more on cheaper ones. Bundling items to clear $15 avoids this penalty.
Does Poshmark charge listing or monthly fees?
No. Poshmark has no listing fees, no monthly fees, and no separate payment-processing charge. The single per-sale fee ($2.95 or 20%) is the only seller fee.
Is Poshmark more expensive than eBay or Etsy?
On commission, yes, Poshmark’s 20% is higher than eBay’s ~13.25% or Etsy’s 6.5% transaction fee. But it bundles payment processing and brings a built-in fashion audience, which can be worth the higher rate for the right items.
Who pays for shipping on Poshmark?
Buyers typically pay a flat shipping fee, so it usually doesn’t come out of your profit. Bundling multiple items into one order saves the buyer on shipping and helps you sell more per sale.
How do I keep more profit on Poshmark?
Bundle low-value items to get above $15, build the 20% fee into your asking price, raise your average sale value, and account for your true sourcing and supply costs so the 80% you keep is real profit.
How do I calculate my Poshmark profit?
Subtract the Poshmark fee and your product cost from the sale price. On a $50 item costing you $20: $50 − $10 fee − $20 cost = $20 profit, a 40% margin. The calculator does this instantly.
