How to use the Vinted fee calculator
- Choose the market in Vinted country. The fee differs by country, so pick the one the sale happens in.
- Enter your asking price in Item price.
- If the buyer pays postage, enter it in Shipping the buyer pays (to the carrier).
- Read You keep (after platform fees). Because the seller fee is shown as free, this equals your item price.
- In the fee table, find the line “Vinted fee (typical)” with “Buyer” in the Paid by column, then read the sentence below the table saying what the buyer pays in total.
- For the UK, read the note beneath it with the low and high end of the range for that price.
- Optional: under “Your costs (for profit)”, fill in What the item cost you, Your own postage or label cost and Packaging and other costs to see profit, margin and return on cost.

The tool starts from your item price. To work out the highest price that fits a buyer budget, change the item price until the buyer’s total matches that budget. The explanation below shows the same thing by hand.
How much is the Vinted buyer protection fee?
Vinted’s Price List says the fee varies with the item, the order value and whether it is a single item or a bundle. It is typically a percentage of the price plus a fixed amount, and VAT is included. For the UK the page gives a range, “usually 3% to 8% plus £0.30 to £0.80”. For euro countries it says 5% plus €0.70.
| Market | Typical fee on the Price List / help pages | Value the tool uses |
|---|---|---|
| UK | 3% to 8% plus £0.30 to £0.80 | 5% plus £0.50, with the range shown |
| Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands | 5% plus €0.70 | 5% plus €0.70 |
| Poland | 5% plus 2.90 zł | same |
| Czechia | 5% plus 8 Kč | same |
The UK figure of 5% plus £0.50 is the tool’s own middle value, not a number Vinted publishes. Vinted’s page does not say whether postage is included in the fee, so the tool applies the estimate to the item price only.
| Example | Item | Postage | Vinted fee (buyer) | You keep | Buyer pays |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UK | £20.00 | £3.00 | £1.50 (range £0.90 to £2.40) | £20.00 | £24.50 |
| Germany | €20.00 | €4.00 | €1.70 | €20.00 | €25.70 |
| Poland | 100 zł | 0 | 7.90 zł | 100 zł | 107.90 zł |
What item price fits a buyer budget?
Work backwards: the item price plus 5% of it plus the fixed amount must not exceed the total the buyer wants to spend. For a euro-country buyer with a €25 budget, an item of €23.14 costs €23.14 plus a €1.86 fee, which is €25.00. In the UK, with the tool’s middle value, the highest price for £25 is £23.33; at the low end of the range it is £23.98 and at the high end £22.41. Postage comes on top, so subtract it from the budget first if the buyer must stay under a total that includes shipping.
Do sellers pay anything on Vinted?
Not for selling. Vinted’s help centre says there are no selling fees, and the seller receives the item price. The Price List shows only optional visibility services (bumps and showcase) on the seller side, which the tool does not price. Vinted Pro sellers have their own terms, and the pages read for this site give no fee figure for them.
How this tool works and where the numbers come from
Vinted’s Price List says the Vinted fee, which was called the Buyer Protection fee until October 2026, is paid by the buyer at checkout, varies with the item and the order, and is typically a percentage plus a fixed amount: 3% to 8% plus £0.3 to £0.8 in the UK, and 5% plus €0.70 in the euro countries. Vinted does not publish a schedule, so the calculator gives the typical figure (and the UK range) as an estimate.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Vinted buyer protection fee the same as the Vinted fee?
Yes. Vinted renamed it, and its help page says the calculation is unchanged. Both names may still appear in the help centre and in older guides.
Who pays the Vinted fee, the buyer or the seller?
The buyer, at checkout, on orders paid through Buy now. The seller pays no Vinted fee, which is why the fee table marks it as paid by the buyer.
Why is the fee shown as typical?
Because Vinted publishes only a typical value per country and says the real amount varies with the item and the order. Check the fee at checkout for the exact figure.
Does the fee include VAT?
Vinted’s fee article says it includes VAT and is added to the final price. The tool shows one figure and does not split the VAT out.
Does the fee apply to postage?
Vinted does not say whether postage is included. The tool applies the percentage to the item price only and adds the buyer’s postage separately.
Are the fees the same in every country?
No. The Price List and help pages give different typical values for the UK, euro countries, Poland and Czechia. Countries other than those listed were not read.
