Poshmark Fee Calculator
Poshmark's fee is simple — one commission, two tiers — but it is the steepest of the big resale marketplaces: $2.95 on sales under $15, and 20% on sales of $15 or more. This free calculator uses Poshmark's current 2026 US fee schedule — no listing fee, no separate processing fee — so you can see exactly what you'll keep from a sale before you list. Results update as you type.
Selling on Depop or Mercari too? Compare with the Depop fee calculator — on the same $50 sale, Depop leaves you $52.73 and Mercari leaves you $49.50, while Poshmark leaves you $40.00.
Leave both at $0 for a normal sale. A shipping discount you offer comes out of your earnings, and an overweight upgrade (packages over 5 lb) is deducted from your payout — enter the amount Poshmark shows you, as the upgrade varies by weight.
| Sale price | $50.00 |
| Selling fee (20% of sale price) | –$10.00 |
| Payment processing fee | $0.00 |
| Shipping discount you offered | –$0.00 |
| Overweight label upgrade | –$0.00 |
| Total Poshmark fees | –$10.00 |
Watch the $15 boundary: a $14.99 sale keeps $12.04 (fee $2.95), while a $15.00 sale keeps $12.00 (fee $3.00 at 20%). Selling for one cent more can leave you five cents less — price just above $15 only if the higher price is worth it.
Poshmark fees in 2026, at a glance
Poshmark briefly tried a different fee structure in October 2024 — a percentage fee plus a buyer protection fee — and reversed it on 24 October 2024, back to the two-tier commission below. Many tools and blog posts still show the short-lived 2024 numbers. Here is the current schedule for US sellers:
| Fee | Rate (US) | Charged on | Who pays |
|---|---|---|---|
| Selling fee (under $15) | $2.95 flat | Final sale price | Seller |
| Selling fee ($15 or more) | 20% | Final sale price | Seller |
| Payment processing | $0 | Included in the commission | — |
| Listing fee | None | — | — |
| Shipping label | $6.49 flat | USPS Ground Advantage, up to 5 lb | Buyer |
| Overweight label upgrade | Varies by weight | Packages over 5 lb | Seller |
The fee base is the final sale price after any discounts — the accepted offer amount, not your original list price. Buyer-paid shipping ($6.49) and sales tax are never part of it. The commission covers payment processing, Posh Protect buyer protection and customer support, and the prepaid shipping label is included for the buyer. A bundle from one seller counts as a single transaction, so you pay the fee once on the bundle total.

Worked examples
Example 1: a $50 sale
The sale is $15 or more, so the fee is 20% of $50 = $10.00, and you receive $40.00. The buyer pays $6.49 shipping on top, so the buyer pays $56.49 in total.
Example 2: a $10 sale
The sale is under $15, so the fee is a flat $2.95, and you receive $7.05. That flat fee is 29.5% of a $10 sale — cheap items are where Poshmark's fee bites hardest.
Example 3: a $100 sale
The fee is 20% of $100 = $20.00, so you receive $80.00.
Notice the pattern: below $15 the flat fee punishes low prices, and at $15 the 20% tier takes over. The break-even point is $14.75 — at that price the $2.95 flat fee is exactly 20%. Anything under $14.75 costs you more than 20% in fees, so low-value items are usually better bundled or sold elsewhere.
Why other Poshmark calculators give you different numbers
Poshmark's fees changed twice in October 2024. For about three weeks it charged a percentage fee plus a buyer protection fee; on 24 October 2024 it reverted to the original $2.95 / 20% structure and removed the buyer fee. Many calculators online still show the short-lived 2024 numbers, or still add a separate payment-processing percentage. Every rate on this page is checked against Poshmark's official Fee Policy and current seller guides. Fees last verified: November 2026.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Poshmark take from a sale in the US?
Poshmark takes a flat $2.95 on sales under $15, and 20% on sales of $15 or more. On a $50 sale, the fee is $10.00 and you receive $40.00 before any shipping discount or overweight label upgrade you pay. There is no listing fee and no separate payment processing fee.
Does Poshmark charge sellers a payment processing fee?
No. The $2.95 flat fee or 20% commission already includes payment processing, seller protection and customer support. No separate processing percentage is added on top — unlike Depop, which charges 3.3% + $0.45 separately.
What does the buyer pay on Poshmark?
The buyer pays the item price, a flat $6.49 for the prepaid USPS Ground Advantage shipping label (up to 5 lb, in effect since 12 September 2025, down from $8.27), and sales tax where applicable. Shipping and tax are not part of the commission base and do not come out of your payout.
Does Poshmark charge a fee on shipping?
No. The commission is charged on the final sale price after any discounts — not on the buyer-paid shipping or sales tax. The one shipping cost that can hit you is the overweight label upgrade for packages over 5 lb, which is deducted from your earnings and varies by weight.
Is there a fee to list on Poshmark?
No. Listing is free, with no monthly fee and no time limit on listings. You only pay when an item sells.
Is Poshmark cheaper than Depop or Mercari?
On a $50 sale, Poshmark takes $10.00 (20%), Mercari takes 10% of the item price plus buyer-paid shipping, and Depop takes only 3.3% + $0.45 in processing with no selling fee for US sellers. Poshmark is the most expensive of the three on most sales — its fee includes the prepaid shipping label and buyer protection.
