What is Poshmark Calculator?

A Poshmark Calculator is a specialized financial tool designed for resellers to estimate their bottom-line profits before listing an item. Because Poshmark takes a standard commission from every sale, it is easy to overestimate how much money will actually land in your bank account.

By factoring in the “Posh Fee,” shipping discounts (which are mandatory for “Closet Clear Out” or “Offers to Likers”), and your initial procurement costs, this tool provides a realistic view of your Return on Investment (ROI).

How to Calculate Poshmark Calculator (Example)

  1. Determine Sale Price: Suppose you sell a jacket for $50.00.
  2. Calculate Poshmark Fee: Since $50 is over $15, the fee is 20% ($50 × 0.20 = $10.00).
  3. Subtract Shipping Discounts: If you offered a shipping discount of $2.02, subtract it.
  4. Calculate Net Earnings: $50.00 – $10.00 – $2.02 = $37.98.
  5. Subtract Costs: If the jacket cost you $10.00, your final profit is $27.98.
