What will you actually keep?

Punch in the numbers and see your true profit per item after fees, postage and packaging — updates as you type.

A £25 sale on Depop leaves you with about £24 after payment processing (2.9% + 30p). The same £25 on Vinted leaves you the full £25. Add packaging, a postage label and 20 minutes of your time and the picture changes again. This works it all out before you list, so you know if it's worth the trip to the Post Office.

Vinted: no seller fee — the buyer pays Buyer Protection on top of your price.

How the calculation works

Nothing clever, just arithmetic — line by line:

  Sale proceeds
- Platform and payment fees
- Item cost
- Postage paid by the seller
- Packaging and other costs
= Estimated profit

Margin is estimated profit ÷ sale proceeds. £/hour is estimated profit ÷ (time spent in minutes ÷ 60).

Frequently asked questions

How much does Vinted actually take from a sale?

Nothing from you. The buyer pays a Buyer Protection fee (roughly 30–80p plus around 5%) on top of your asking price, so if you list a jumper at £15 you receive £15, minus whatever the postage label costs if you're not using Vinted's included label.

How do eBay UK fees work now?

It depends on whether you're a private or business seller. For UK private sellers, standard selling is free in most categories — no final value fee, no regulatory operating fee. Exclusions and optional charges still apply (vehicles, listing upgrades, some international sales). Business sellers pay a category-based fee plus a per-order fixed charge; there isn't a single percentage that fits every business seller, so enter your applicable rate in the fee field.

What does Depop actually charge?

There's no Depop selling fee any more. You pay payment processing of 2.9% + £0.30, calculated on the item price plus postage where you're charging for it. If you switch on a Boosted Listing, Depop's current UK boost fee (8% of the sale) is added on top — that's optional and off by default in the calculator.

Should I count my time as a cost?

If you're deciding whether reselling is worth continuing, absolutely. A £4 net profit sounds fine until you realise it took 40 minutes of photographing, listing, packing and a Post Office trip — that's £6/hour. The £/hour figure is often the number that actually changes behaviour.

Does the calculator include Vinted's postage label cost?

Only if you enter it. If the buyer paid postage (Vinted's default), flip the toggle to 'Buyer paid' and it drops out of your cost side.
