What you really made on a sale, once postage both ways, fees and extras come off. The same sum the app runs on every item, free and without an account.
Profit is the figure to trust. Revenue tells you what came in; profit tells you what you kept once the item's own costs came out. A £60 sale on a £45 jacket with £4 postage is a £11 flip, not a £60 one.
Margin says whether the sale was worth making. Under about a third and you are working hard for little; a return or a lost parcel wipes it out. Return on cost says whether the buy was good: the same £20 profit is a great day on £10 of stock and a poor month on £200 of it.
The number this page cannot give you is the one that matters most over a year: how these add up across everything you sold, what sat unsold, and what is still tied up in stock. That is what Vintify does, for every item, automatically.
Read next: the complete Vinted tax guide, how to price your items and why profit per item is the metric.
Take what the item sold for and subtract everything it cost you: the price you paid, postage to get it to you, any extras such as cleaning or repairs, selling fees if your platform charges you any, and postage you paid to send it. What is left is your profit, before tax.
On a standard Vinted sale the buyer pays Vinted's buyer protection fee on top of your price, and you receive the price you listed. If your account or platform charges you a selling fee, enter it in the fee fields. eBay's fees depend on your account type and category, so check eBay's current fee page and enter what applies.
Margin is profit as a share of the sale price: £20 profit on a £50 sale is a 40% margin. Return on cost is the sale price divided by everything you had in the item: £50 from a £10 all-in cost is ×5. Margin says whether the sale was worth making; return on cost says whether the buy was.
No. If the buyer paid for the label, it never touched your money, so leave postage out at zero. Only postage you paid yourself comes off your profit.
It depends on how much you make and whether you are trading. HMRC has a trading allowance for small amounts of income from selling, and above it you may need to register and report. The complete guide on this site walks through it, and HMRC's own guidance is the final word.
Vintify records what every item cost when you buy it, syncs your Vinted and eBay sales every hour, and works out this same profit for every item, with the totals, the tax report and what to buy more of.
Sync your sales, manage your stock and see your profit, from day one.
