Every eBay fee, your label and what you paid come off here, line by line.
Same $40 sale, six sites
Same item. Six different cuts.
Who pays for the label, whether tax is in the fee, flat fees on small sales: the differences add up faster than the headline percentages suggest. Here is one $40 sale on each site, from the same engine as the calculator.
Open any one for the full schedule, a worked example and the questions people ask about it.
| Marketplace | Fees | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| Depop | $2.14 | $29.86 |
| Mercari | $4.80 | $27.20 |
| Whatnot | $4.99 | $27.01 |
| Etsy | $5.11 | $26.89 |
| eBay | $7.38 | $24.62 |
| Poshmark | $8.00 | $24.00 |
A $40 sale of something that cost you $8. Where the seller buys the label, the buyer pays $8 shipping and the label costs $8; on Poshmark and Whatnot the buyer's shipping covers the marketplace's label. 7% sales tax where it affects fees. Standard rates: no Store, ads or boosts; Whatnot at its standard tier.

The calculator that remembers
One sum is a guess. A year of them is your books.
- Every sale, kept. Save a sale from the calculator and it becomes a row: what you paid, the fees, the label, what you kept.
- Every month, added up. This month's profit, this year's total and what's still sitting in stock, on one screen.
- Ready for tax time. With Ledger: cost of goods, mileage at the IRS rate and a year-end report for whoever does your taxes.

Questions
Is the calculator really free?
Yes, with no account. Every marketplace, every option, the price finder and share cards are free. A free account adds a ledger for 30 items, totalled by month and year.
Where do the fee numbers come from?
From each marketplace's own fee and help pages. Each calculator shows the date we last checked and links to the pages it relies on.
What does Ledger add?
Unlimited items, importing sales reports from each marketplace, a mileage and sourcing-trip log at the IRS rate, and a tax-year report you can download. $6 a month or $49 a year.
Is this a cross-listing tool?
No. Vendoo and similar tools post your listings to several sites. Hustl tracks the money: what each item cost, what each marketplace took and what you kept.
Will it do my taxes?
No, and it won't pretend to. It keeps the records a tax return asks a reseller for, totals them by year and hands them over in a file. It isn't tax advice.
