The Depop fee calculator shows what Depop and its payment processor take from a sale by a US or UK seller. Neither country pays a Depop selling fee, so the figures come from payment processing on item, shipping and tax, plus a 12% boosting fee when the sale came from a boosted listing. Pick your country, enter the item price, the shipping the buyer pays and any sales tax or VAT, and the table lists each fee with what you keep. Add what the item cost you to see profit, margin and return on cost. Rates were checked on 2026-10-28, and the page links Depop’s help articles behind them. The buyer’s marketplace fee is not included, because Depop does not publish it as a fixed figure.

How to use the Depop Fee Calculator

  1. Choose “United States” or “United Kingdom” in “Seller country”.
  2. Type the “Item price”.
  3. Enter “Shipping the buyer pays”, or leave it at 0 if postage is in the price.
  4. Enter “Sales tax / VAT on the order (%)” if one applies.
  5. Tick “The sale came from a boosted listing (12%)” if it did. A second box, “I ship with a Depop shipping label”, then appears; leave it ticked if you used a Depop label.
  6. Read “You keep (after platform fees)” and the fee table, which lists each fee, who pays it and the amount.
  7. Optional: fill in “Your costs (for profit)”: “What the item cost you”, “Your own postage or label cost” and “Packaging and other costs”.
  8. Optional: under “Price you need”, choose a profit amount, margin or return on cost, enter a target, and the tool shows the lowest price that reaches it.

“Copy link to this result” stores your entries in the page address. “Download CSV” saves the figures, and “Add to my ledger (this browser)” keeps the sale in the browser-only ledger. The table “The same item on other platforms” shows nine platforms, Depop included, at default options. If you tick the boosted box but clear the Depop label box, the 12% boosting fee also applies to the shipping you charged, so the fee line grows even though the item price is unchanged.

How much does Depop take from a $30 sale?

On a $30 US sale with no shipping or tax, Depop’s payment processing takes $1.44 and you keep $28.56. Depop charges no selling fee. If the sale came from a boosted listing, the 12% boosting fee adds $3.60, fees are $5.04 and you keep $24.96.

ScenarioProcessingBoosting feeFees you payYou keep
US $30, not boosted$1.44$0.00$1.44$28.56
US $30, boosted$1.44$3.60$5.04$24.96

Processing is 3.3% of $30 ($0.99) plus $0.45. The boosting fee is 12% of the $30 item price.

Which Depop fees apply in the US and UK?

Sellers in both countries pay payment processing, 3.3% + $0.45 in the US and 2.9% + £0.30 in the UK, charged on item price, shipping and taxes. A 12% boosting fee applies only to sales from boosted listings, and Depop applies it to new listings from 23 March 2026. A $100 US sale loses $3.75 to processing and you keep $96.25.

The boosting fee covers the item price, plus shipping when you did not use a Depop label. Take a $30 item with $5 shipping, boosted and shipped without a Depop label. Processing is $1.61 (3.3% of $35, plus $0.45), boosting is $4.20 (12% of $35), and you keep $29.19.

For the UK, a £40 boosted item with £3 shipping and a Depop label pays £1.55 in processing and £4.80 in boosting, and you keep £36.65. Depop’s page gives an 8% boosting rate for sellers outside the UK and US, which this tool does not cover.

What is the Depop marketplace fee?

It is a fee the buyer pays on each purchase in the US and UK, described as up to 5% of the item price plus up to $1 or £1. Depop does not publish the exact amount, shows it at checkout and refunds it with the item, so the tool leaves it out.

How do I work out my profit on Depop?

Enter your costs under “Your costs (for profit)”. A $30 US sale of an item that cost you $12, with $3 of packaging and no boost, keeps $28.56 after fees, so profit is $13.56. With a boost it is $9.96. Margin and return on cost appear beside the profit figure.

How this tool works and where the numbers come from

Depop charges sellers in the US and the UK no selling fee. The payment processor takes 3.3% plus $0.45 in the US and 2.9% plus £0.30 in the UK, on item price, shipping and tax. A sale that came from a boosted listing carries a 12% boosting fee in the US and UK. The buyer pays a separate marketplace fee that Depop describes only as up to 5% plus up to $1 or £1.

Frequently asked questions

Do buyers pay a fee on Depop?

Yes, a marketplace fee of up to 5% plus up to $1 (£1 in the UK). Depop’s help page does not give a fixed figure, so the result does not include it.

Does the Depop fee include shipping?

Payment processing does: it is charged on item price, shipping and tax. The boosting fee covers the item price, plus shipping if you did not use a Depop label.

How much is the Depop fee?

There is no selling fee for US or UK sellers. Processing is 3.3% + $0.45 in the US and 2.9% + £0.30 in the UK, and a boosted sale adds 12%.

What is the Depop boosting fee?

It is 12% for US and UK sellers, charged only when a boosted listing sells. Depop applies that rate to new listings from 23 March 2026.

Are fees refunded if the sale is refunded?

Depop’s seller fee page says that when a sale is refunded, all fees (selling, processing and boosting) are reversed. The tool shows a completed sale, so it does not model refunds.

Why does a cheap item lose so much to Depop?

The processing fee has a flat part. On a $5 US item it is $0.62 (3.3% of $5 plus $0.45), about 12% of the price, against 3.75% on $100.

Can the other-platforms table take my postage into account?

Yes. Type your label cost into “Your own postage or label cost” and the last column of “The same item on other platforms” becomes “You keep after your postage”. Poshmark has nothing taken off, because its flat buyer shipping pays the label.
