How the fee estimate works

Platform fees use the editable listing, transaction, payment, and optional offsite-ad assumptions shown above. Product cost and your shipping cost are deducted after platform fees. Results are planning estimates; Etsy terms and applicable fees can change.

What Etsy charges sellers — Etsy sellers pay a $0.20 listing fee for each listing or renewal, a 6.5% transaction fee on the total order (item price plus shipping and gift wrap), and a payment processing fee that is about 3% plus $0.25 per transaction for US sellers using Etsy Payments. If Etsy's Offsite Ads generate a sale, the ad fee is 15% of the attributed order for shops under $10,000 in trailing sales, or 12% once the shop passes $10,000. Use this Etsy fee calculator to see how listing, transaction, payment processing, and offsite-ad fees stack against your handmade price and costs before you publish a listing.

Planning estimate only. Platform fees, taxes, payment costs, and policies can change; verify current terms before pricing.

Free Etsy fee calculator: estimate listing, transaction, and payment processing fees plus profit. Enter price and costs, see net earnings and margins. Privat.

Transparent methodology

How this calculator works

Formula

Profit = sale price - listing fee ($0.20) - transaction fee (6.5%) - payment fee (3% + $0.25) - item cost - shipping cost.

Worked example

A $25 sale with $5 item cost and $4 shipping, shipping charged $5: $2.83 in Etsy fees, $9.00 costs, $13.18 profit (52.7% margin).

Assumptions to verify

  • Etsy fee schedules, payment processing, ads, and offsite-ad rules can change.
  • Taxes, refunds, currency conversion, packaging, labor, and overhead may be additional.
  • Shipping charged and actual shipping cost should be entered separately.

Frequently asked questions

Why are Etsy fees editable?

The calculator is for scenario planning. Always verify the current Etsy policy and your shop settings.

Does this include offsite ads?

Use an ad or extra-cost field if offsite ads apply to the order.

What should I compare next?

Check margin/markup and payment fees to see whether the price still works after costs.
