Reselling Break Even Calculator
Price items strategically with this free break-even calculator. Instead of guessing prices and hoping for profit, work backwards from your target margin. Enter your desired profit ($10, $15, $25), item cost, and platform – instantly see the exact listing price needed to achieve your goals.
Essential for resellers who source inventory at thrift stores, garage sales, estate sales, or wholesale. Evaluate profitability before you buy. A $5 thrift find might need to sell for $25 on Etsy to net $10 profit after 12% fees, shipping, and packaging. Our calculator shows this instantly, helping you make smart sourcing decisions in real-time.
Works across all platforms with accurate fee calculations: Etsy (6.5% + processing + regulatory), eBay (4-15% by category), Mercari (15.79% total), Poshmark (20% or $2.95), StockX (8-9.5% + shipping), and 15+ others. Each platform's unique fee structure dramatically affects required pricing – electronics need $108 on eBay vs $125 on Poshmark for the same $20 profit.
Advanced features: target profit margin percentages, multi-platform comparison, category-specific estimates, bulk quantity calculations, and tax-inclusive pricing. Avoid unprofitable listings by knowing your break-even point and minimum viable price.

How to Use The Reselling Profit & Fees Calculator
Enter the details of your item, such as its category, where you hope to list it, what you paid for it, what your desired profit is, and how much of it you are selling. The calculator will estimate the fees for the platform, helping you choose the best one to maximize your profits.
You can also select platform-specific features, such as whether you have a store subscription or if you are a top-rated seller, to get more accurate fee estimates. You can factor in shipping for products that require it, and see how it affects your profits on each platform.
If you are running a reselling business, you can keep track of the value of your time spent and see what your tax impact will be for your sales.
