Poshmark fee calculator
Estimate what Poshmark takes on a US or Canada sale, including seller-funded shipping discounts, and whether pricing under the flat-fee threshold hurts your effective rate. Nothing is uploaded.
Breakdown
How the numbers work
Poshmark’s current US seller fee (after the short-lived October 2024 1-2-3 experiment was reverted) is a two-tier commission with payment processing included:
- Under $15: flat $2.95. On cheap items the effective rate can climb well above 20% (a $10 sale is 29.5%).
- $15 and above: 20% of the sale / accepted-offer price. A $50 sale is $10 in fees and $40 before your costs.
- Seller shipping discount: if you offer discounted or free shipping, that dollar amount comes out of your payout on top of the seller fee.
- Canada: same shape with a C$3.95 flat fee under C$20, and 20% at C$20+. Provincial tax on the fee may apply in Canada; this tool does not model GST/HST on the fee.
Example (US): $50 sale, no shipping discount. Seller fee 20% = $10.00. You keep $40.00 before product cost. Same item at $14: fee stays $2.95 (21.1% effective). At $15 the fee is $3.00 (20%) — often a better deal than sitting just under the cliff.
FAQ
Is Poshmark still 20%, or did they switch to 5.99%?
The October 2024 1-2-3 / 5.99% structure was rolled back within weeks after seller backlash. Current US practice documented across Poshmark’s Guide and Fee Policy references is again $2.95 under $15 and 20% at $15+. Confirm the live policy in Poshmark Support before you price inventory.
Does the 20% include payment processing?
Yes. Unlike Etsy or eBay’s layered final-value + processing model, Poshmark’s seller fee is all-in for the core sale. There is no separate card-processing line in the standard US flow.
Should I avoid pricing under $15?
Often yes if you can clear $15. Under $15 the flat $2.95 can mean an effective rate above 20%. Use the cliff note above the breakdown when your price sits in that band.
Do shipping discounts change the commission base?
The seller fee is based on the item sale / offer price. A shipping discount is an extra dollar reduction from your payout, not a change to the 20% / $2.95 rule. This calculator subtracts it separately so you see both hits.
Is this exact to the penny Poshmark will take?
No. It is an estimate from published US/Canada fee rules as of mid-2026. Promoted Closet, overweight label upgrades, hazmat non-compliance charges, refunds, and Canada tax on fees can change the real balance. Confirm on Poshmark Support and in your order earnings.
