Grailed fee schedule (2026)
| Fee | Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Commission, item price under $120 | 6% | On the item price |

Grailed’s processing rate is shown as approximately 3.49% + $0.49 because the exact processor rate can vary slightly; this calculator uses 3.49% + $0.49, which matches the published figure sellers see at checkout. If Grailed updates its processing rate, the fee change tracker logs the update.
How to calculate Grailed fees
The formula is simple once you know which commission tier your item falls in:
Grailed fee = (6% × item price if under $120, otherwise 9% × item price) + 3.49% × (sale price + shipping charged) + $0.49
You keep = sale price + shipping charged − total fees. Net profit = you keep − item cost − actual shipping cost. Margin is net profit divided by the sale price, and ROI is net profit divided by the item cost.
5 tips to keep more on Grailed
- Watch the $120 cliff. A $119 sale pays 6% commission ($7.14); a $120 sale pays 9% ($10.80). Raising a price from $119 to $120 costs you $3.66 more in commission, so price just under the threshold when the market allows.
- Charge shipping separately only if it helps. Processing is charged on shipping you collect, so building shipping into the price does not dodge the fee — it just moves it. Price for the total a buyer will pay.
- Cross-list with Depop. Depop’s 4.2% effective rate on a $50 sale beats Grailed’s 10.5%, but Grailed’s audience pays more for grails and rare streetwear. Run both through our Grailed vs Depop comparison before choosing where to list first.
- Let the audience justify the fee. Grailed buyers search specifically for streetwear, designer and vintage grails, so a higher realized price often outweighs the fee gap versus general marketplaces.
- Check offers with the calculator. Before accepting a lower offer, type it in as the sale price — the fee drops in dollars but the margin math can still turn a deal sour once shipping is included.
