How these numbers are modelled
- US sellers only (Canada has different numbers). The fee is taken from the final order price, after any seller discount or offer: a flat amount under $15.00 and a percentage at $15.00 or more.
- Shipping: Poshmark charges the buyer a flat shipping rate that is not part of your earnings. The help pages do not say in so many words that shipping is outside the fee base, so this calculator applies the fee to the item price only. The buyer shipping field is therefore left out.
- Not modelled: the Texas Seller Fee Tax (the rate was not published on the pages we read), shipping you pay for overweight parcels beyond what you enter, taxes on payouts.
How it is calculated
Commission = a flat $2.95 when the sale price is under $15.00, and 20% of the sale price when it is $15.00 or more (so exactly $15.00 pays $3.00). The sale price is the final price after any seller discount or offer; the buyer pays Poshmark a flat shipping rate that is not part of your earnings. Net payout = sale price - commission. Profit = net payout - item cost - any shipping you pay.
All math runs in your browser; nothing you type is sent to our server. Each line is rounded to the cent and amounts are shown in the currency of the selected country, never mixed.
How Poshmark charges its fee
Poshmark has one commission and it has two modes. On Poshmark's help page the rule reads: for sales under $15 it takes a flat commission of $2.95, and for sales of $15 or more you keep 80% of the sale while Poshmark takes 20%. There are no listing fees; Poshmark says it is always free to list. The commission is deducted after your item sells, from the final order price.
That sounds simple, but the two modes create a cliff at $15.00 that changes how you should price. This calculator applies the right mode automatically and shows the commission, your take-home and your profit after what the item cost you.
The traps that cost sellers money
- The $15.00 threshold. Under $15.00 the commission is a flat $2.95. At exactly $15.00 the percentage applies, which is $3.00. Cheap items therefore lose a big share to the flat fee.
- The fee is on the final price. The base is the final order price after your discounts and any accepted offer, not the original list price. Enter the price the buyer actually pays for the item.
- Shipping is the buyer's. The buyer pays Poshmark a flat $6.49 for shipping on every order, (one rate for a bundle up to 5 lbs). That money is not your earnings, so it is not a field in the calculator. If you pay for an overweight parcel, enter it as extra shipping you pay.
- Bundles are one order. The fee is charged on the bundle total, not per item.
- Texas sellers. Poshmark says Texas sellers have an additional Texas Seller Fee Tax deducted. Its rate was not read, so it is not modelled.
Worked examples
All figures are from our checked test cases.
| Sale price | Commission | You receive |
|---|---|---|
| $5.00 | $2.95 | $2.05 |
| $14.99 | $2.95 | $12.04 |
| $15.00 | $3.00 | $12.00 |
| $15.01 | $3.00 | $12.01 |
| $29.99 | $6.00 | $23.99 |
| $100.00 | $20.00 | $80.00 |
Look at the middle rows. A $14.99 item and a $15.01 item leave you almost the same money, because the flat $2.95 and the 20% mode meet near $15. The problem is below that line: a $5.00 sale pays 59% of its price in commission.
With costs, a $100.00 sale of an item that cost $25.00 leaves $80.00 after commission and a profit of $55.00, a 55% margin. A bundle of two $7.50 items is a $15.00 order, so the commission is $3.00 and you take home $12.00, rather than paying $2.95 twice.
Price needed to take home what you want
Poshmark takes a share of the price, so you cannot just add the commission to your costs. Fill in the take-home box and the calculator solves for the list price. For an item that cost $10.00 and a goal of $20.00 in your pocket after fees and costs, the price is $37.50. For a goal of a 40% margin on the same item the price is $25.00. When the cost is low and the goal small, the flat fee can decide the answer: an item that cost $9.00 where you want $3.00 profit needs to be listed at $14.95, just under the cliff, because the flat $2.95 is cheaper there than 20% at $15.00.
What this calculator does not model
- The Texas Seller Fee Tax.
- Any shipping you pay beyond Poshmark's flat buyer rate, unless you enter it yourself.
- Sales tax collected from the buyer, payout timing, or income tax on your profit.
- Your time, packaging, or promotions you run outside Poshmark.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Poshmark take from a sale?
Poshmark states that for sales under $15 it takes a flat commission of $2.95, and for sales of $15 or more you keep 80% and Poshmark takes 20%. On a $100.00 sale the commission is $20.00 and you receive $80.00 before your own costs. Rates checked October 26, 2026.
What happens at exactly $15.00?
The percentage applies from $15.00 upward, so a $15.00 sale pays 20%, which is $3.00 and leaves you $12.00. A $14.99 sale pays the flat $2.95 and leaves you $12.04. Checked October 26, 2026.
Why do I keep less on a $5 sale than I expect?
The flat $2.95 is a large share of a small price. On a $5.00 sale Poshmark takes $2.95, which is 59% of the price, and you receive $2.05. Checked October 26, 2026.
Is the fee charged on the price before or after a discount?
Poshmark says the fee is deducted from the final order price after your item sells, and that earnings vary with seller discounts. This calculator therefore uses the price after any discount or accepted offer. Checked October 26, 2026.
Does Poshmark charge a fee on shipping?
Shipping is a separate flat rate of $6.49 paid by the buyer. Poshmark does not say explicitly whether it sits outside the fee base, so the calculator assumes the fee is charged on the final item price only and shows that as an assumption. Overweight shipping costs are paid by the seller. Checked October 26, 2026.
How are bundles charged?
The fee applies to the order, so two $7.50 items bought together are a $15.00 order. That pays 20%, which is $3.00 in total, and you take home $12.00. If the same two items sold separately you would pay $2.95 twice. Checked October 26, 2026.
What price should I list to take home a set amount?
Use the take-home box. For an item that cost $10.00 and a goal of $20.00 profit, list at $37.50. The calculator also handles the cliff under $15.00 where the flat fee applies.
Is there a Texas seller fee tax?
Poshmark says Texas sellers have an additional Texas Seller Fee Tax deducted. We did not read the rate, so it is not modelled here. If it applies to you, check the Poshmark help article and deduct it yourself.
Does Poshmark charge listing fees?
Poshmark states that it is always free to list. The only seller cost it describes is the commission taken after a sale. Checked October 26, 2026.
