    How it works

    Methodology & formulas

    This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.

    Calculation steps

    1. 1Calculate totalBuyerPayment as sellingPrice + shippingCharged
    2. 2Depop fee = totalBuyerPayment ×10%
    3. 3Processing = totalBuyerPayment ×3.3% +0.45
    4. 4Total fees = depop fee + processing
    5. 5Costs ex fee = itemCost + actualShippingCost + packagingCost + otherCosts
    6. 6Total out = totalFees + costsExFee
    7. 7Net = totalBuyerPayment − totalOut
    8. 8Margin = net ÷ totalBuyerPayment ×100
    9. 9ROI = net ÷ itemCost ×100 when itemCost>0

    Formulas

    • Total = price + shippingCharged
    • DepopFee = total ×10%
    • Processing = total ×3.3% + $0.45
    • TotalFees = depopFee + processing
    • Costs = item + actualShip + pack + other
    • Profit = total − totalFees − costs
    • Margin = profit ÷ total ×100

    Important assumptions

    • Depop fees: Depop 10% on totalBuyerPayment (price+shippingCharged) plus processing 3.3%+ $0.45 on totalBuyerPayment
    • Total revenue = sellingPrice + shippingCharged
    • Costs excluding fees = itemCost + actualShippingCost + packagingCost + otherCosts
    • Total out = fees + costs excluding fees
    • Net profit = revenue − total out
    • Does not include income tax or platform boosts unless added to otherCosts

    Worked example

    $45 vintage tee with $12 sourcing

    Sell $45 item, buyer pays $0 extra shipping, you pay $6 carrier, $1 packaging, item $12, other $0

    Total payment $45. Fees: Depop 10% $4.50 + processing $45×3.3%+$0.45=$1.94 total fees $6.44. Costs ex fee $19, total out $25.44, profit $19.56, margin 43.5%, ROI 163% on item cost. If buyer pays $6 shipping instead: selling $39 + $6 shipping = $45 total same fees $6.44, but actual shipping 0 costs ex fee $13, profit $25.56 margin 56.8% — $6 extra profit because buyer covered shipping.
