Your payout
At full price a 60% split pays 103 after the entry fee. Sold at the 40% markdown it pays 59 — which is the number to compare against a direct sale.
How the Consignment Payout Calculator works
- Enter the asking price and the split the shop offers.
- Include any entry, listing or cleaning fee, which comes off before or after the split depending on the contract.
- Model the marked-down scenario too, since a large share of consignment stock sells after a markdown rather than at full price.
The method
The payout is the split applied to whatever the item actually sells for, less any fees.
payout = (sale price x consignor %) - fees
A 60% split on a marked-down price is often less than a 40% split at full price, which is why the markdown schedule matters more than the headline percentage.
FAQ
What split is typical?
It varies widely by category and location, commonly somewhere between 40% and 60% to the consignor. The markdown schedule and who absorbs it usually matters more than a few points on the split.
Do fees come off before or after the split?
It depends on the contract, and the difference is real. Read which figure the percentage applies to — the gross sale price or the net after fees.
Is consignment better than selling directly?
It trades money for effort. Direct selling keeps more per item and costs your time, photography, messaging and postage. Consignment is worth it when the shop reaches buyers you cannot.
