How the Poshmark fee is calculated
The fee depends on the listing price. Below the limit it is a fixed amount. At or above the limit it is a percentage of the price.
Poshmark fee formulas
Fee = flat fee if the price is below the limit, otherwise price × fee %
You earn = price − fee
Profit = you earn − item cost − shipping you pay
Break-even price = cost + shipping + flat fee (low prices), or (cost + shipping) ÷ (1 − fee %) (higher prices)
Poshmark can change its fee, so check the current rules and edit the fields if they differ.
Poshmark fee examples
Example 1: a $40 item
Item cost $12, 20% fee.
- Fee $8.00
- You earn $32.00
- Profit $20.00
- Margin 50.0%
- Break-even price $14.95
- Price for a 40% margin $30.00
You could list this item well below $40 and still profit.
Example 2: a $100 item
Item cost $30.
- Fee $20.00
- Profit $50.00
- Break-even price $37.50
- Price for a 40% margin $75.00
At 20%, you earn $80 from a $100 sale before costs.
Example 3: the $15 line
Item cost $5.
- Priced at $14.99 fee $2.95, profit $7.04
- Priced at $15.00 fee $3.00, profit $7.00
Just above the limit the percentage fee replaces the flat fee, so you earn a few cents less.
Example 4: you offer free shipping
Item $40, cost $12, free shipping with a $6.49 label.
- Fee $8.00
- Shipping you pay $6.49
- Profit $13.51
- Margin 33.8%
Free shipping cuts the profit from $20.00 to $13.51. To keep a $20.00 profit you would need to list the item at $48.11.
Who pays for shipping on Poshmark?
By default the buyer pays for shipping, so it does not come out of your sale. The standard rate for a package up to 5 lb is $6.49. Poshmark is also running a limited-time 99¢ shipping promotion on closet orders from November 3, 2026, which changes what the buyer pays but not your fee. Your earnings are unaffected unless you offer free shipping.
If you offer free shipping, the label cost is deducted from your earnings, so enter it in the shipping field to see the effect. The Poshmark shipping calculator breaks it down by package weight.
Packages over 5 lb need an upgraded label, and you pay the difference: $5.00 for 5.1 to 10 lb and $10.00 for 10.1 to 15 lb. According to Value Added Resource, from October 26, 2026 Poshmark also deducts overweight postage from sellers’ earnings when the label was not upgraded.
