Your Depop sale
Fee rates used — edit if your account differs
The default 10% + $0.45 is a planning figure only. Depop's US fee has been quoted around 10% plus a payment fee, and Depop has also trialled buyer-paid fees where the seller keeps more of the listed price. Copy the rate from your own Depop receipt into these two boxes; every number below recalculates.

What you keep
Break-even is the lowest sale price where you stop losing money.
Where the money goes on Depop
On the default sale — a $30 item with no shipping charged, $8 of goods, $5 postage and $1 of packaging — Depop's cut is about $3.45, or 11.5% of what the buyer pays, and you keep about $12.55. Two things decide your number: the percentage, and the fixed charge that does not shrink on cheap items.
1. The percentage fee
Depop's headline fee is a percentage of the sale. On a $30 sale, 10% is $3.00. That is the part most sellers remember. It is also the part that changes — Depop has moved between seller-paid and buyer-paid models, so the percentage in your receipt is the one that matters, not the one in a blog post.
2. The fixed charge per sale
A flat charge per sale of roughly $0.45 (in some models it is a payment-processing fee of a percentage plus a small fixed amount) hits small sales hardest. On the $30 example the effective fee rate is 11.5%. On a $10 sale with the same 10% + $0.45, the fee is $1.45 — an effective 14.5%. A cheap item that looks profitable at the headline rate may not be.
3. What is not in the fee
Postage and packaging are your costs, not Depop's, so enter them above. Refunded orders, promoted listings, boosts and any payment fee charged at payout are not modelled — if you pay for boosts, put the typical spend per sale in "packaging / other". Sales tax collected from the buyer is not your income.
What break-even tells you
With these costs the item breaks even at $16.06. Any offer below that is you paying the buyer to take it. Depop runs on offers, so this is the number to keep in front of you when a message says "would you take $14?". If you want to keep 30% of the sale price rather than merely avoid a loss, you need $24.08.
Bundles and multi-item sales
On a bundle, the percentage still applies to the whole amount but the fixed charge is charged once per transaction in most models — so a bundle usually has a slightly better effective rate than the same items sold separately. Add up the bundle price, put total cost of goods in "your cost", and read the result as one sale.
