Poshmark Fee Calculator
Poshmark is unusual because the fee is a flat 20% for anything at or above $15, and a flat $2.95 for anything below. That threshold makes a huge difference to your margin on cheap items.
This calculator switches between the two automatically based on the sale price, so you can see exactly where the break points are for your inventory.

How Poshmark fees work
Poshmark commission rules and the flat fee amount can change. Confirm the current threshold and fee in the app before repricing your closet.
| Fee | Typical rate | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Commission on sales of $15 or more | 20% | Applied to the item price. |
| Flat fee on sales under $15 | $2.95 | Replaces the percentage entirely. |
| Shipping | flat label rate | The buyer usually pays a flat shipping price; if you offer a discount it comes out of your payout. |
Worked example
A typical order priced at $45.00 costs you $12.00 in product and $0.00 to ship and pack.
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Buyer pays | $45.00 |
| Total platform fees | -$9.00 |
| Product, shipping and other costs | -$12.00 |
| Net profit | $24.00 (53.33% margin) |
| Break-even price | $14.95 |
What sellers get wrong on Poshmark
- Pricing against the headline fee only. The commission is rarely the whole cost: fixed fees, payment processing and advertising add several points on top.
- Forgetting what shipping really costs. If you charge the buyer less than the label and packaging actually cost, every sale quietly loses money.
- Ignoring returns. A 3% return rate on a 20% margin product removes a sixth of your profit. Put it in the reserve field.
- Never checking the break-even price. Knowing the lowest price you can accept on an offer is the difference between a negotiation and a loss.
Poshmark fee calculator FAQ
Does Poshmark take 20% or $2.95?
Both, depending on price. Sales of $15 or more are charged 20% commission. Sales under $15 are charged a flat $2.95 instead.
Is it better to price just above or just below $15 on Poshmark?
The flat $2.95 is a smaller slice of a $14 sale than 20% would be, which is why $14 can pay out more than $15 in some cases. Enter both prices and compare.
Does Poshmark charge on shipping?
The commission is based on the item price, not on the shipping label the buyer pays, which is different from Etsy and eBay.
