How Much Does Poshmark Take in 2026?
Poshmark uses one of the simplest fee structures in resale: for sales under $15, you pay a flat $2.95; for sales of $15 or more, Poshmark keeps a 20% commission. That single fee covers payment processing, customer support, and the prepaid shipping label — which the buyer pays for (standard $7.97), so shipping never comes out of your pocket unless you offer a discount.
There are no listing fees, no subscription, and no separate processing charge. The trade-off is that 20% is one of the highest headline rates among clothing marketplaces — compare it with Mercari's 10% or Depop's ~3.3% + $0.45 before choosing where to list.
How to Use This Calculator
Enter your sale price and, optionally, what the item cost you. You'll instantly see the Poshmark fee, your payout (what actually lands in your balance), net profit, effective fee rate, and margin. Try prices on both sides of the $15 line — a $14 sale pays a $2.95 fee (21.1% effective), while a $15 sale pays $3.00 (20%), so pricing just below $15 rarely helps you.
The Math, With a Worked Example
Formula:Fee = $2.95 if price < $15, otherwise 20% × price. Payout = price − fee. Profit = payout − item cost.
Example: You sell a jacket for $45 that cost you $12 at a thrift store. Fee = 20% × $45 = $9.00. Payout = $36.00. Profit = $36 − $12 = $24.00, a 53% margin. The buyer pays the $7.97 shipping on top of the $45.
Tips to Keep More of Every Poshmark Sale
Price above $15 whenever the item justifies it — the flat $2.95 makes cheap items punishing (a $10 sale nets only $7.05, a 29.5% effective fee). Bundle low-value items so one combined sale crosses $15 instead of paying $2.95 three times. Factor the 20% into your sourcing: an item must sell for at least 1.25× your cost just to break even. And remember marketplace income is taxable — Poshmark issues a 1099-K past the federal threshold, so track your side hustle taxes from day one.
Deciding where to list? Compare Poshmark against Mercari's flat 10%, Depop's ~3.3% + $0.45 (the lowest-fee clothing marketplace in 2026), and eBay's final value fees before you cross-post the same item.
