Poshmark Fee Calculator Canada

This calculator works out what you keep from a Poshmark Canada sale, in Canadian dollars. Poshmark's Canadian fee structure is one of the simplest in resale. For sales under C$20 it takes a flat C$3.95, and for sales of C$20 or more it takes 20% of the listing price, so you keep 80%. Poshmark says the fee covers handling the payment, including credit card fees, a pre-paid, pre-addressed shipping label and customer support for the sale. There is nothing to list and withdrawals to your bank account are free. The simplicity hides one trap: a flat C$3.95 is a very large share of a cheap item, and the jump from the flat fee to 20% happens at exactly C$20. The figures come from Poshmark Canada's Posh Guide, checked on 11 November 2026.

Poshmark Canada's fee in one table

fee = C$3.95 if price < C$20, otherwise 20% × price
you keep = price − fee
profit = you keep − what you paid for the item − any supplies

Effective fee by price

Two things stand out. Below about C$10 the flat fee takes 40% or more, so very cheap items are often better bundled or sold elsewhere. And C$19.99 actually leaves you four cents more than C$20.00, because the flat fee ends there. Between C$20.00 and C$20.04 you keep less than at C$19.99, at C$20.05 you break even, and from C$20.06 the 20% rate leaves you more.

Pricing to keep a target amount

price ≥ C$20: list price = amount you want ÷ 0.80
price < C$20: list price = amount you want + C$3.95
Keep C$40: C$40 ÷ 0.80 = C$50.00
Keep C$12: C$12 + C$3.95 = C$15.95

Remember to price in room for offers. Poshmark buyers often make offers, and the 20% applies to the final price you accept, so a C$50 listing sold for C$42 leaves you C$33.60, not C$40. Use the target field to find the price for the amount you want, then decide how far below it you are willing to go.

Sourcing: how much can you pay for an item?

Resellers usually work backwards from the price they expect to get. Take what you keep after Poshmark's fee, subtract the profit you want, and the rest is the most you can pay. For a jacket you expect to sell for C$45, you keep C$36.00. If you want at least C$15 profit for your time, you can pay up to C$21 at a thrift store. For a C$15 top, you keep C$11.05, so a C$5 profit means paying no more than C$6.05. The calculator's maximum-buy figure does this for you once you enter a target profit.

Poshmark compared with other Canadian options

The comparison is not like for like. Poshmark's 20% includes a prepaid shipping label and payment processing, while on eBay, Etsy and a PayPal sale you either charge the buyer for postage or pay it yourself. If your postage costs more than the C$1.68 to C$7.39 difference, Poshmark can still come out ahead. Enter your real postage cost in each calculator to compare fairly.

Poshmark Canada compared with Poshmark US

Poshmark's US fee also takes 20% at the top, but its flat fee is US$2.95 and applies below US$15. Canadian sellers pay a higher flat fee, C$3.95, and the switch happens later, at C$20. Use the country switcher to see the US calculator.

What the calculator leaves out

• Shipping upgrades, discounted shipping you offer to buyers, and any Poshmark promotions you pay for.
