Vinted Fees Calculator

What this computes

Most marketplace fee calculators answer "how much does the platform keep?" On Vinted the answer is nothing — so this tool answers two more useful questions instead: what's your actual profit after the item cost (and any optional promotion), and what would a seller fee elsewhere have cost you on the same item? Enter your list price, item cost, any promotion spend, and the buyer's shipping; you get net payout, net profit, margin, breakeven, the buyer's all-in total, and a side-by-side comparison with Mercari and Poshmark.

How Vinted fees work (June 2026)

Vinted's model is the inverse of a commission marketplace: the cost sits with the buyer, not the seller.

• Seller fee: $0. No commission, no listing fee, no payment-processing fee. The seller keeps 100% of the list price.
• Buyer Protection fee: roughly 5% of the item price + $0.70, paid by the buyer at checkout. It covers secure payment and refund protection and never touches your payout.
• Optional promotion: you can pay for item bumps or featured listings. That's the only thing that reduces your net, and only if you choose it.

The math

Net payout       = List price − Promotion spend
Net profit       = Net payout − Item cost
Profit margin    = Net profit / List price
Breakeven price  = Item cost + Promotion spend
Buyer protection = 5% × List price + $0.70   (paid by the buyer)
Buyer total      = List price + Shipping + Buyer protection

A worked example

You list a dress for $50. It cost you $20, you don't promote it, and the buyer pays $5 shipping.

• Net payout: $50.00 (Vinted takes nothing)
• Net profit: $50 − $20 = $30.00
• Margin: $30 / $50 = 60.0%
• Breakeven: just your cost, $20.00
• Buyer protection (buyer pays): 5% × $50 + $0.70 = $3.20
• Buyer's all-in total: $50 + $5 + $3.20 = $58.20

With a 0% seller fee, your breakeven is just your cost — nothing stands between the list price and your wallet.

The buyer's side

Vinted's fee doesn't disappear — it moves to the buyer. On the $50 dress, the buyer pays $3.20 in Buyer Protection plus shipping, so the sticker they compare against rivals is $58.20, not $50. That matters when you're pricing against a Poshmark or Mercari listing where the buyer-facing price looks lower but the seller eats a commission. The money comes out somewhere; Vinted just collects it on the other side of the transaction. For you as the seller, the only number that changes your take is the list price itself.

What a seller fee costs elsewhere

The clearest way to value a 0% fee is to price the same item where sellers do pay. Same $50 item, same $20 cost:

On a $50 item, listing on Poshmark instead of Vinted costs you a third of your profit. The calculator runs this comparison live for your own numbers, including Poshmark's flat-fee tier below $15, where the gap is even starker for cheap items.

What this calculator doesn't model

• Reach and sell-through. A lower fee is worthless if the item doesn't sell. Vinted's US audience and price points differ from Poshmark's or eBay's; fee math is one input, not the whole decision.
• Refunds and disputes. A refunded order returns the sale. Since there's no seller fee to lose, the main risk is return shipping and your time.
• Your time. Listing, messaging, and shipping are unpaid hours. Run monthly profit through the True Hourly Wage calculator to see the real rate.
• Tax. Net profit here is pre-tax. Resale profit is generally taxable; 1099-K thresholds change — check current IRS guidance.
