Depop Profit Calculator
Your payout is not your profit. This calculator takes the fee calculator one step further: it subtracts Depop's current fees and what you paid for the item, so you see your real profit on every sale — and the listing price you need to hit a target profit.
Tax estimate applies your rate to the item price; Depop charges processing on the actual tax collected on the order.
| Order total (price + shipping + tax) | $66.00 |
| Depop selling fee (0%) | $0.00 |
| Payment processing (3.3% + $0.45) | –$2.63 |
| Boosting fee | –$0.00 |
| Your shipping label cost | –$6.00 |
| You receive (payout) | $57.37 |
| Minus your item cost | –$25.00 |
| Profit | $32.37 |
Payout vs. profit: the three numbers sellers mix up
- Earnings / order total — everything the buyer pays you for the item and shipping (plus any tax you collect).
- Payout ("you receive") — the order total minus Depop's fees and your own shipping label cost. This is what lands in your Depop Balance. Our fee calculator stops here.
- Profit — the payout minus what the item cost you. This is the only number that tells you whether a sale was actually worth it, and it's what this calculator shows.
Worked example
You thrift a jacket for $25 and sell it for $60, charging the buyer $6 shipping; your label also costs $6. No tax, not boosted:
- Order total: $66.00
- Processing: 3.3% × $66 + $0.45 = $2.63 (selling fee: $0)
- Payout: $66 − $2.63 − $6.00 label = $57.37
- Profit: $57.37 − $25.00 = $32.37
Boost the same listing and the 12% boosting fee ($7.20) cuts the profit to $25.17 — sometimes worth it for a faster sale, but now you can see the trade-off in dollars instead of guessing.
Pricing backwards from a target profit
Enter a target profit above and the calculator works out the listing price that delivers it after fees, your shipping cost and your item cost. This is the fastest way to price thrifted stock: start from the profit you need, not from a price that "feels right." Remember that buyers also see a marketplace fee (up to 5% + up to $1) added at checkout, so an aggressive list price costs them more than the number on your listing.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my Depop profit?
Take the buyer's order total (item price + shipping charged + tax), subtract payment processing (3.3% + $0.45 in the US), any boosting fee (12% of the item price), your own shipping label cost, and finally what you paid for the item. There is no US selling fee to subtract.
What is a good profit margin on Depop?
There is no official benchmark — it depends on your sourcing costs and how fast you need stock to move. The calculator shows your margin as a percentage of the sale price so you can compare items consistently and spot listings where fees and shipping eat the profit.
Does this calculator include sales tax?
Yes — enter your sales tax rate and it estimates the tax on the item price, which is included in the order total before processing is calculated, matching how Depop charges processing on the tax actually collected.
Why is my profit lower than the fee calculator's "you receive"?
Because "you receive" is your payout before your own costs. This page subtracts two more things: your shipping label cost (if it isn't already) and the price you paid for the item itself.
