What Is Net Earnings
Net earnings is the actual money you get to keep after you sell something on Depop. When you sell an item, Depop takes out two types of fees before sending you your money. The first fee is the platform fee that Depop charges for using their service. The second fee goes to the company that processes the buyer's payment. Your net earnings is what remains after both fees are taken out. This number helps you understand if your pricing strategy makes sense for your business goals.
How Net Earnings Is Calculated
Formula
Net Earnings = Item Sale Price + Shipping Charged to Buyer − Depop Fee − Payment Processing Fee
Where:
- Depop Fee = 0.10 × Item Sale Price (10% of item price)
- Payment Processing Fee = (Fee Rate × (Item Price + Shipping)) + Fixed Fee
- Total Fees = Depop Fee + Payment Processing Fee
- Item Sale Price = The price you list your item for
- Shipping Charged to Buyer = What the buyer pays for shipping
The calculation works by adding up all the money that comes in from the sale. This includes the item price plus any shipping the buyer pays. Then it subtracts the fees. First, Depop takes ten percent of your item price as their platform fee. Next, the payment processor charges a small percentage of the total transaction plus a tiny fixed fee per sale. After removing both fees, whatever is left becomes your net earnings. Knowing this breakdown helps you set prices that cover costs while still making a fair profit.
Why Net Earnings Matters
Understanding your net earnings helps you make smarter decisions about pricing items on Depop. When you know exactly how much money you will actually receive, you can plan better for your business expenses and savings goals.
Why Understanding Fees Is Important for Online Sellers
Many new sellers may focus only on the listed price without realizing how much they will lose to fees. If you do not account for these deductions ahead of time, you might end up earning much less than expected. Some sellers may even lose money on a sale after factoring in what they originally paid for the item plus all the fees. Checking your net earnings before listing may help you avoid unpleasant surprises when the payment arrives in your account.
For Pricing Strategy
When you know your net earnings formula, you can work backwards to find the right listing price. For example, if you want to keep forty dollars after fees, you may need to list your item at around fifty dollars or more depending on shipping. This approach helps ensure your prices support your profit goals rather than just guessing at numbers that look good but leave you with very little actual income.
For High-Value Items
Selling expensive items means larger fee amounts even though the percentage stays the same. A hundred dollar item loses ten dollars to Depop alone, plus additional payment processing costs. Sellers who specialize in premium goods may want to factor these bigger deductions into their pricing to maintain healthy margins on every sale.
