How to Use

Enter your item price, quantity sold, and any shipping you charge the buyer.
Enter your product cost, actual shipping cost, and any other per-sale costs like packaging.
Review the fee rates — they're pre-filled with Etsy's standard US seller rates, but always check Shop Manager > Finances or etsy.com/legal/fees for your current, country-specific rates and edit any field that's different.
Leave Offsite Ads and Other/regulatory fee at 0% unless they apply to this specific sale.
The result shows every fee line separately, even at $0.00, plus your total costs, net profit, effective fee percentage, and profit margin.

Formula

Gross revenue: gross_revenue = item_price × quantity + shipping_charged
Transaction fee: transaction_fee = transaction_fee% ÷ 100 × gross_revenue
Payment processing fee: payment_processing_fee = payment_processing% ÷ 100 × gross_revenue + payment_processing_fixed
Offsite Ads / other fee: fee = fee% ÷ 100 × gross_revenue
Total fees: total_fees = listing_fee + transaction_fee + payment_processing_fee + offsite_ads_fee + other_fee
Total costs: total_costs = (product_cost × quantity) + actual_shipping_cost + other_costs + total_fees
Net profit: net_profit = gross_revenue − total_costs

Worked Example

Two $25 items with $5 shipping charged, $8 product cost each, standard US Etsy fee rates.

Gross revenue: 25 × 2 + 5 = $55.00
Transaction fee: 6.5% × $55.00 = $3.575 → $3.58
Payment processing: 3% × $55.00 + $0.25 = $1.90
Total fees: $0.20 + $3.575 + $1.90 = $5.675 → $5.68
Product cost: 8 × 2 = $16.00
Total costs: $16.00 + $4.00 + $1.00 + $5.675 = $26.675 → $26.68
Net profit: $55.00 − $26.675 = $28.325 → $28.33
Effective fee %: $5.675 ÷ $55.00 × 100 ≈ 10.32%
Profit margin: $28.325 ÷ $55.00 × 100 = 51.5%

Result: Gross revenue: $55.00 / Total fees: $5.68 / Total costs: $26.68 / Net profit: $28.33 / Effective fee %: 10.32% / Profit margin: 51.5%

About This Tool

What this tool does

This calculator breaks down every fee Etsy charges on a sale — listing fee, transaction fee, payment processing fee, and optionally Offsite Ads or other regulatory fees — alongside your own product and shipping costs, to show your real net profit, effective fee percentage, and profit margin.

When to use it

Use it before listing a product to check whether your price actually leaves a worthwhile profit after Etsy's cut, or to compare how changing your price, shipping charge, or costs affects your bottom line.

What the result means

Every fee line is shown even when it's $0.00, so you can confirm a fee genuinely doesn't apply rather than wondering if it was left out. "Effective fee %" is your total fees as a share of gross revenue; "Profit margin" is net profit as a share of gross revenue — see the Profit Margin Calculator for more on what margin means.

Assumptions & limitations

All fee rate fields are plain, editable inputs pre-filled with Etsy's publicly published standard US seller rates at the time this tool was built (listing fee $0.20; transaction fee 6.5% of item price plus shipping; payment processing 3% + $0.25). Etsy changes these rates periodically and they differ for sellers based outside the US — this tool does not attempt to encode every country's rates, so Offsite Ads and the Other/regulatory fee default to 0% (off) rather than guessing a figure that may not apply to you. Always verify your current, country-specific rates in Etsy's Shop Manager under Finances, or at etsy.com/legal/fees, before relying on this for a real pricing decision. The listing fee and payment processing fixed fee apply once per listing/transaction; all other fees and costs scale with quantity where Etsy actually charges that way.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Etsy actually take from a sale?

It depends on your price, shipping, and which fees apply, but a standard US seller typically pays a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee, and roughly 3% + $0.25 in payment processing — often 10-15% of gross revenue combined before your own product and shipping costs. This calculator adds up your specific numbers instead of relying on that rough average.

Are these fee rates always accurate?

They're pre-filled with Etsy's standard US seller rates as a starting point, but every rate field is fully editable — Etsy changes its fees periodically and charges differently outside the US, so always check Shop Manager > Finances or etsy.com/legal/fees for your current rate and update the fields here to match before trusting the result for a real pricing decision.

What is the Offsite Ads fee, and should I include it?

Offsite Ads is an additional fee (commonly 12-15%) Etsy charges only on sales it drove through its own external advertising — it doesn't apply to every sale. Leave it at 0% unless you know this specific sale came through an Offsite Ad, since it's unpredictable per-listing and easy to overestimate.
