Grailed Fee Calculator

Grailed takes 6% of the sale price when it is under $120 (never less than $1.99) and 9% when it is $120 or more. US sales also carry 3.49% + $0.49 in processing. Listing costs nothing and buyers pay no extra fee. In practice you keep about 90% of a sale under $120 and about 87% of a sale above it. This page, and the Grailed fee calculator above it, use the rates in Grailed's Help Center articles on fees and payment processing.

Payment processing fees

Processing is a second charge on every sale, on top of the commission. Two things set the rate: the buyer's country, and whether you have completed Stripe onboarding.

What counts as the sale price?

Both the commission and the $120 line are measured on the price the item actually sells for, after any offer you accept. A Grailed Label keeps postage out of that figure. Buy your own postage and Grailed adds the shipping the buyer pays. That makes no difference to US sales, which must use Grailed Labels, but it matters for international orders, where $10 of shipping can lift a $115 jacket into the 9% rate.

US seller, US buyer, Grailed Label paid by the buyer, Stripe onboarded. Processing is worked out on the sale price and each line is rounded to the cent.

Why $119.99 beats $120 to $124

The 9% rate applies to the whole sale, not just the part above $120. Crossing the line adds about $3.60 in commission at once, so a sale at $120 pays you $104.52 while $119.99 pays $108.11. You only get back to that payout at $124.10. If you are pricing close to the line, list at $119.99, or set a price well above $124 so the extra 9% is covered.

The calculator warns you when your price lands in that gap, and the target-profit mode skips over it automatically.

Why cheap items pay a $1.99 floor

Six percent of $33.17 is $1.99, so every sale below that pays a flat $1.99 commission. On a $15 tee that is more than 13% of the price before processing. Bundling two or three cheap pieces into one listing pays the minimum once: two $25 shirts sold separately pay out $43.30, but listed together at $50 they pay out $44.76.

Grailed charged a flat 9% commission for years before moving to the 6% and 9% tiers in 2026. Whether you pay more or less now depends on the price:

Grailed Labels

Every sale from a US seller to a US buyer ships with a prepaid Grailed Label, and Canada-to-US sales under $750 and 20 lb use them too. The buyer pays the label at checkout, so it costs you nothing and is not part of the commission. Grailed sets the price per order from the package size and address and does not publish a rate card.

Offering free shipping

If you choose free shipping, the label cost is taken from your payout instead. On sales over $750 Grailed also adds signature confirmation for $4, which you pay when shipping is free. Enter an estimate of the label price in the calculator to see the effect.

Shipping internationally on your own label

Outside the Grailed Label routes you buy postage yourself and charge the buyer shipping. Grailed folds that shipping into the sale price, which means it pays commission and counts toward the $120 line. A $100 item with $25 shipping becomes a $125 sale at 9%; pricing it at $95 with $24 shipping keeps it at 6%.

Grailed works out its commission from the price you agree to, so accepting an offer shrinks the fee along with the price. Around $120 that can work in your favour: accepting $119 on a $124 listing gives the buyer $5 off but costs you only $0.80 of payout. Further from the line, offers bite harder: taking $115 on a $140 listing cuts your payout from $122.02 to $103.60.

The offer check under the results shows your payout at 5% to 20% off and highlights any offer that changes the rate. Offers on Grailed are binding outside the EU and UK, so check the number before you accept.

Grailed runs one marketplace for every country and all prices are in US dollars. The commission is the same for everyone, but a few things change:

• Processing: sales to buyers in another country are charged 4.99% + $0.49, and sellers in countries without Stripe pay 4.99% + $0.49 on every sale.
• VAT or GST on the commission:sellers in the UK, EU, Australia, New Zealand and Norway may see tax added to Grailed's fee at their home rate. Entering a VAT number as a registered business removes it.
• Shipping: Canadian sellers use Grailed Labels for US buyers. Others usually ship on their own label, which brings shipping into the sale price.
• Currency: your payout is converted from USD by your payment provider, which may apply its own exchange rate.

This calculator covers US-dollar fees and processing. Add any VAT on the commission or currency costs to "Other costs".

Grailed releases your money within 3 calendar days after the buyer receives the item. From there a bank transfer takes about 2–3 business days in the US, or up to 10 business days in other countries. Sellers with a strong track record can be paid as soon as the package is in transit. Grailed does not charge a payout fee.

• Sales tax is collected from US buyers in almost every state and passed to the state. It is not part of your payout.
• Import dutieson international orders are paid by the buyer unless you have joined Grailed's seller-paid duties program.
• Refunds: fees come back automatically on a full refund, but not on a refund caused by a lost-package claim.
• Tax forms: US sellers receive a 1099-K once they pass the federal threshold of $20,000 and 200 sales in a year, or a lower state threshold.

Type in your listing price, then choose an offer, the buyer's location and your shipping method. Fill in your item cost and the tool doubles as a Grailed profit calculator: payout, profit, margin and the share Grailed keeps update as you type. Switch to "Price for a target profit" to work backwards from the money you want to make; it stays under $120 when that is enough and skips the gap above it when it is not. To do the same sum by hand:

1. Start with the price the item sells for, after any offer you accept. Add the shipping you charge only if you ship on your own label.
2. If that sale price is under $120, the commission is 6% of it, but never less than $1.99. From $120, it is 9%.
3. Work out payment processing: 3.49% of the sale price plus $0.49 for a US buyer, or 4.99% plus $0.49 for an international buyer.
4. Subtract the commission, processing and any label you pay for to get your payout, then subtract what the item cost you to get your profit.

As a formula for a US sale under $120: payout = price − max($1.99, price × 0.06) − (price × 0.0349 + $0.49). From $120 the commission is price × 0.09. Then profit = payout − item cost − other costs. That is everything a Grailed earnings calculator needs.

Grailed sits in the middle of the resale apps on fees. Run the same piece through each calculator to see what actually lands in your account:

A higher fee can still be worth paying if a piece sells faster or for more. Menswear and designer items often do best on Grailed, so many sellers list them there and on eBay at the same time.

• Price at $119.99, not $120. Anything from $120.00 to $124.09 pays you less.
• Finish Stripe onboarding. It cuts the fixed processing fee from $0.99 to $0.49 on every sale.
• Combine cheap pieces. One listing pays the $1.99 minimum and $0.49 processing fee once.
• Set international shipping with the $120 line in mind. Own-label shipping counts toward it.
• Treat free shipping as a cost. Build the label into your price if you offer it.
• List with offer room. Use the target-price mode with an offer buffer so an accepted offer still hits your number.
• Crosslist to sell faster. Listing the same piece on several marketplaces puts it in front of more buyers.
