About the Poshmark Fee calculator

Our Poshmark fee calculator is a free, instant tool that shows exactly what Poshmark charges on a sale and what actually lands in your account. Poshmark is the largest peer-to-peer fashion resale marketplace in the United States, and while its pricing is intentionally simple, the switch from a flat fee to a 20% commission at a threshold catches many sellers off guard. This calculator applies the correct rule for your country so you know your real payout before you list.

How Poshmark's fee structure works.

Poshmark uses a two-tier fee system that depends on your sale price. In the United States, any item that sells for less than $15 is charged a flat fee of $2.95 — regardless of whether the item sells for $3, $8 or $14.99. That flat fee is clear and predictable. The moment the sale price reaches $15, the fee switches entirely to a percentage: Poshmark charges 20% of the sale price, and there is no flat component. So a $15 sale incurs a $3.00 fee, a $50 sale incurs a $10.00 fee, and a $100 sale incurs a $20.00 fee. The threshold is strictly "under $15" — a sale of exactly $15 or any higher amount uses the 20% rule, not the flat fee.

No separate payment-processing fee.

A common question is whether Poshmark charges a payment-processing fee on top of the selling fee. It does not. The $2.95 flat fee or the 20% commission is the only deduction Poshmark makes from your sale. Poshmark handles payment processing internally and absorbs those costs within its commission structure. This makes the Poshmark fee simpler to calculate than platforms like Etsy, eBay or Reverb, which stack a selling fee and a separate payment-processing fee together. What this calculator shows is your complete payout — no hidden charges.

Shipping is paid by the buyer, not the seller.

Poshmark's fee is calculated on the sale price (the item price) only. Buyers on Poshmark pay a flat shipping fee directly to Poshmark, and Poshmark provides the seller with a prepaid USPS Priority Mail label. Because the buyer's shipping payment goes to Poshmark and is not part of your sale revenue, it does not factor into the 20% commission or the flat fee. You simply enter the sale price of your item above — there is no shipping input needed in this calculator.

Poshmark Canada: same model, local thresholds.

Poshmark Canada uses the same two-tier structure with thresholds adjusted for Canadian dollars. Sales under C$20 are charged a flat fee of C$3.95. Sales of C$20 or above are charged at 20% of the sale price. Sellers in Canada should also be aware that GST/HST may apply on top of Poshmark's commission, depending on their province, though Poshmark generally handles this as the marketplace facilitator. Use the country selector above to switch to Canadian dollars and see the correct fee and threshold.

The threshold trap: pricing near $15 (or C$20).

The two-tier model creates a pricing consideration at the threshold. If you list an item for $14 your fee is $2.95 and your payout is $11.05 — a take rate of 21.1%. If you list for $15 your fee is $3.00 and your payout is $12.00 — a take rate of 20%, and you keep $0.95 more. This means listing at $15 (or C$20 in Canada) is generally preferable to listing just below the threshold, because the percentage fee at the boundary is actually lower as a proportion of the sale than the flat fee on items priced just below it. The calculator makes this visible: try $14.99 versus $15.00 and compare the payouts.

From payout to profit.

Pashmark's payout is what you receive into your Poshmark balance after the commission. But your real profit also depends on what you paid for the item. Enter your cost of goods in the optional "Your item cost" field to see gross profit — the amount you net after both Poshmark's fee and your acquisition cost. For resellers and thrifters, this is the number that determines whether a sale is worthwhile. A $30 blouse bought for $5 at a thrift store yields a $24 payout (after the 20% Poshmark fee) and a $19 profit.

Tips for pricing on Poshmark.

Work backwards from your target payout to set your listing price. For sales above $15, divide your target payout by 0.80 to find the price that yields it: if you want to keep $40, list at $50 (40 ÷ 0.80 = 50). For the flat-fee tier, simply add $2.95 to your target: if you want to keep $7, list at $9.95. Use the calculator above to test different price points quickly — enter a sale price, watch the payout update, and find the listing price that hits your goal.

Accuracy and verified fees.

Every fee in this calculator is sourced from Poshmark's official help and fee-policy pages and verified on 2026-06-12. The US fee structure ($2.95 flat under $15, 20% at and above $15) and Canada fee structure (C$3.95 flat under C$20, 20% at and above C$20) are the only fees Poshmark charges sellers on a standard sale. Australia and India, where Poshmark previously operated, are not included because Poshmark shut down those markets on 2 November 2023. Always verify the current fee at the official source linked below before making pricing decisions.
