What this consignment payout calculator does

Consignment shops sell items on behalf of an owner — the consignor — and keep an agreed percentage of every sale. This calculator splits any sale price by your agreed percentage (60/40, 50/50, 70/30, or anything else) and subtracts optional fees such as card processing or marketplace commissions, so both parties can see the real payout before the check is cut. It also lets you choose whether fees come out of the shop's share or off the top before the split, since consignment contracts handle this both ways. Everything runs in your browser: nothing you type is uploaded, saved, or shared.

The fee figures are approximate defaults you can edit; check the platform's current fees; estimates only, not financial advice.

How to use it

Enter the final sale price of the item.
Set the consignor's share as a percentage. In a 60/40 deal where the owner receives 60%, enter 60 — the shop's 40% is calculated automatically.
Choose how fees are handled: split the full price and let the shop absorb the fees, or deduct fees first and split what remains.
Adjust the fee fields to match reality: card processing (defaults to 2.9% plus $0.30), a platform or marketplace commission, and any flat listing or handling fee.
Read the payout cards — they update live as you type, showing the consignor payout, the shop's cut, and total fees.

FAQ

What is a typical consignment split?: Most consignment shops pay the consignor 40% to 60% of the sale price. Everyday clothing often lands near 40-50%, while furniture, designer goods, and luxury items can reach 60-80% because they sell for more with less handling per piece.
Who usually pays the fees?: It depends on the contract. Many shops absorb processing fees out of their own share; others deduct fees from the sale before splitting. This tool models both — pick the fee-handling mode that matches your agreement.
Why did the shop payout turn negative?: On very cheap items, flat fees can eat the shop's entire share. The calculator flags this in red so you can raise the price, renegotiate the split, or set a minimum sale price.
