Poshmark Profit Calculator

    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. 1Fee = $2.95 if sellingPrice <15 else sellingPrice × 20%
    2. 2Revenue = sellingPrice + shippingCharged
    3. 3CostsExFee = itemCost + actualShippingCost + packagingCost + otherCosts
    4. 4TotalOut = fee + costsExFee
    5. 5NetProfit = revenue − totalOut
    6. 6Margin = netProfit ÷ revenue ×100
    7. 7ROI = netProfit ÷ itemCost ×100 when itemCost>0

    Formulas

    • Fee = $2.95 (<$15) else 20% × price
    • Revenue = price + shippingCharged
    • Costs = item + actualShipping + packaging + other
    • Profit = revenue − fee − costs
    • Margin = profit ÷ revenue ×100

    Important assumptions

    • Poshmark fee $2.95 under $15 else 20% of selling price only, not shipping charged.
    • Total revenue equals selling price plus shipping charged.
    • Costs excluding fee equals item cost plus actual shipping cost plus packaging plus otherCosts
    • Net profit equals revenue minus Poshmark fee minus costs excluding fee
    • Does not include income tax or miles to post office — put those in otherCosts per order.

    Worked example

    $42 sale with $12 sourcing

    Selling $42, buyer pays $7.67 shipping, you pay $0 extra shipping, item cost $12, packaging $1, other $0.

    Fee $8.40 (20%), revenue $49.67, costs excluding fee $13, total out $21.40, profit $28.27, margin 56.9%, ROI 235% on item cost. If you discount shipping $3, actualShipping $3, costs $16, profit $25.27 margin 50.8% — still strong.
