Poshmark US commission (checked Oct 2026)
- Commission = $2.95 if Sale price < $15, otherwise 20% × Sale price
- Earnings = Sale price − Commission
- Profit = Earnings − Item cost
- Profit margin = Profit ÷ Sale price × 100
Worked example: a thrifted dress
A reseller buys a dress for $6 and it sells for $40 after an offer. Poshmark's 20% commission is $8, so earnings are $32 and profit is $26 — a 65% margin on the sale price.
A $12 top sells under the threshold: Poshmark keeps $2.95 and the seller earns $9.05. On cheap items the flat fee works out to a higher percentage than 20%.
The $15 threshold and pricing
Because the fee switches at $15, earnings jump in an odd way around it. A $14 sale earns $11.05, and a $15 sale earns $12.00 — only 95¢ more for a dollar higher price. Above $15 every extra dollar of price keeps 80¢.
Price with offers in mind: the commission is charged on the final sale price, so accepting a lower offer also lowers the commission.
What this calculator leaves out
- Shipping: the calculator assumes the buyer pays shipping; if you cover part of it with a discount, add that to item cost.
- Supplies: mailers, tape and garment bags — add them to item cost for a truer profit.
- State taxes on seller fees: Poshmark notes that since October 1, 2025, sellers located in Texas see an additional Texas Seller Fee Tax deducted from earnings.
- Income tax: reselling profit is generally taxable income; this page is general information, not tax advice.
