Etsy Fee Calculator

Etsy takes several separate fees from each sale, and they are charged on different amounts, which is why sellers are often surprised by the total. This calculator applies the current US fees — the $0.20 listing fee, the 6.5% transaction fee, payment processing and, when it applies, the Offsite Ads fee — then shows your payout and the profit left after your own costs.

How to use this tool

1. Enter the item price, the quantity sold and the shipping you charged the buyer.
2. Enter the sales tax rate on the order, because the payment processing fee is charged on the tax-inclusive total.
3. Choose whether the order came through an Offsite Ad.
4. Add what the item and postage cost you to see your real profit.

Formula

Transaction fee = 6.5% × (items + shipping)

Processing fee = 3% × (items + shipping + tax) + $0.25

Profit = Items + shipping − Etsy fees − costs

The listing fee is $0.20 for each unit sold, allocated across units sold, including the initial listing and multi-quantity renewal fees. Unsold renewals cost extra. The Offsite Ads fee is 15% or 12% of items plus shipping, never more than $100 per order. Rates are for sellers with a US bank account.

Example

A $25 item with $5 shipping and 7% sales tax ($2.10) costs $0.20 to list, $1.95 in transaction fees (6.5% of $30) and $1.21 in processing (3% of $32.10 plus $0.25). Total fees are $3.36, so the payout is $26.64. After $8 for materials and $4.50 postage, the profit is $14.14, a 47% margin on the $30 the buyer paid before tax.
