Consignment split calculator
Enter a price, a discount and the consignor's share to see who gets what. Add markdowns to see what an item earns as it ages.
How the split works
A consignor's share comes from what the customer actually pays, not the price on the tag. Take off any discount first, then multiply by the consignor's percentage; the shop keeps the rest. Sales tax or VAT and shipping stay out of it.
Markdowns lower the price, so they lower both shares. Agreeing a schedule up front, such as 20% off after 30 days, means no consignor is surprised when an item sells for less.

Questions
What is a normal consignment split?
Splits run from about 40% to the consignor for clothing to 70 or 80% for high-value items like jewelry, sneakers and instruments. 50/50 is common for vintage and art. The table above shows typical starting points by kind of shop.
Is the consignor's share worked out before or after discounts?
After. The consignor gets their share of what the customer actually paid. Say so in your agreement, so a discount or markdown never surprises anyone.
How do I work this out for every sale automatically?
Consignment Hub does it inside Shopify: every sale, online or on Shopify POS, is split by what the customer paid, using the share you set for that consignor or item.
