Whatnot fee guide
Whatnot normally deducts two seller fees when an item sells: a commission fee and a payment processing fee. In participating markets, completed sales over a four-week period determine the commission tier for the next period. The calculator lets you model the rate applicable to your account; it does not calculate tier eligibility.
The exact amount can differ because commission rates, high-value thresholds, taxes on fees, temporary promotions, and processing charges vary by category and region. Whatnot calculates fees for each transaction even when purchases are later bundled into one shipment.
| Seller region | Baseline commission before tiers | Coins & Money | Payment processing |
|---|---|---|---|
| US, Canada, Australia | 8% of final sale price | 4% of final sale price | 2.9% of order value + $0.30 |
| EU and UK (country/category exceptions apply) | Generally 6.67% plus VAT; some categories start at 4% | 4% plus applicable VAT | 2.42% + €/£0.25, plus VAT |
| Japan | 8% plus applicable JCT | 4% plus applicable JCT | 2.9% + ¥50, plus JCT |
Select high-value categories—including eligible comics, trading cards, sports singles, toys, coins, bags, and jewelry—can receive 0% commission on the portion of an individual sale above the applicable threshold. Eligibility restrictions, programs, and promotions can change. Confirm your final rate in the official Whatnot seller fee schedule.
Commission: a percentage of the item's final sale price, excluding buyer-paid shipping and taxes. Accepted offers use the accepted sale price.
Payment processing: a percentage of the total order value paid at checkout plus a fixed transaction fee. The order value normally includes the final sale price, buyer-paid shipping, and buyer-paid taxes.
Because this calculator does not know the buyer's eventual shipping charge or tax, its processing-fee result is an estimate. The order receipt in Seller Hub is the source of truth after a sale.
This example uses the $50 sale price for both fee estimates. The actual receipt may differ because Whatnot's processing basis can include additional checkout amounts and account-specific rates.
Use this as a Whatnot payout calculator to estimate what remains after platform fees and seller-paid shipping. For a profit estimate, also enter inventory cost, packaging, promotions, and other costs. A payout does not account for all the money you spent running the business.
