  • Shipping Cost Paid by Buyer: The amount the buyer pays for shipping. Depop charges the 10% fee on this amount as well.
  • Original Item Cost / COGS: Your cost to acquire or create the item (Cost of Goods Sold). This is deducted to find the true net profit.
  • Variable Fee Percentage: The percentage charged by the payment processor (e.g., 2.9% for PayPal/Stripe in the US).
  • Fixed Fee: The small fixed fee charged by the payment processor (e.g., $0.30 for PayPal/Stripe in the US).

What is the Depop Fee?

The Depop fee is the commission charged by the Depop marketplace for facilitating the sale of an item. Depop currently charges a flat rate of 10% on the total transaction amount, which includes the item price and the shipping cost paid by the buyer. This fee is automatically applied and deducted from your PayPal or Depop Payments account after the sale is completed.

It is crucial for sellers to factor in this 10% fee, along with the separate payment processing fees, when setting item prices. Failing to account for these costs can significantly reduce your profit margins. The purpose of this calculator is to provide a clear estimate of your actual profit before you even list an item.

How to Calculate Depop Fees (Example)

  1. Determine Total Sale Value: An item is listed for $50, and the buyer pays $5 for shipping. Total Sale = $50 + $5 = $55.00.
  2. Calculate Depop Fee (10%): Depop Fee = $55.00 * 0.10 = $5.50.
  3. Calculate Payment Processing Fee (e.g., 2.9% + $0.30): Payment Fee = ($55.00 * 0.029) + $0.30 = $1.595 + $0.30 = $1.895.
  4. Calculate Gross Revenue: Gross Revenue = $55.00 (Total Sale) – $5.50 (Depop Fee) – $1.895 (Payment Fee) = $47.605.
  5. Calculate Net Profit: If the original cost of the item was $15.00, Net Profit = $47.605 – $15.00 = $32.605.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does the 10% Depop fee include shipping?

Yes, the Depop fee of 10% is charged on the *total transaction amount*, which includes both the item price and the shipping cost that the buyer pays.

What are the payment processing fees?

Payment processing fees are charged by PayPal or Depop Payments (Stripe) and are separate from the Depop commission. These are typically around 2.9% plus a fixed fee (e.g., $0.30) for domestic sales in the US, but can vary by country.

Is the calculator accurate for international sales?

For international sales, the Depop fee (10%) remains the same. However, you must update the “Variable Fee Percentage” and “Fixed Fee” inputs to reflect the higher international payment processing rates charged by your provider (often closer to 4.4% + fixed fee).

Should I include the original item cost (COGS)?

Yes, for true profit analysis, you should always include the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). The calculator deducts this cost to show your actual, final net profit after all expenses.
