Etsy Fee Calculator

Every Etsy sale carries three fees as standard: a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee and payment processing of 3% plus $0.25 for US sellers on Etsy Payments. That works out to roughly 10% to 11% of a typical order. A sale that came through an Offsite Ad adds a further 12% or 15% on top.

The core four are the listing fee, the transaction fee, payment processing and Offsite Ads. Beyond those, Etsy may charge a currency conversion fee of about 2.5% if your listing currency differs from your payout currency, a regulatory operating fee in some countries, an optional Etsy Plus subscription at $10 a month, and Etsy Ads spend if you run them yourself. This calculator models the four that apply to almost every order.

Yes, and this is the detail sellers get wrong most often. The 6.5% transaction fee applies to the total the buyer pays, which means the item price plus the shipping you charged them plus any gift wrapping. Sell a $30 item with $5 shipping and the fee is 6.5% of $35, so $2.28, not 6.5% of $30. Over a few hundred orders that gap is real money.

Take a $100 item with free shipping. The listing fee is $0.20, the transaction fee is 6.5% of $100 which is $6.50, and payment processing is 3% of $100 plus $0.25, so $3.25. Total Etsy fees are $9.95, leaving you $90.05 before your own costs. If that sale came from an Offsite Ad at 15%, add $15 and you keep $75.05.

Offsite Ads are ads Etsy buys on Google, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Bing using your listings. You only pay when someone clicks one and buys from you within 30 days. Sellers who made under $10,000 in the last 12 months can opt out, and pay 15% when they stay in. Sellers over $10,000 cannot opt out, but their rate drops to 12%. The fee is capped at $100 per order.

No. It only applies to orders attributed to an Offsite Ad click, which for most shops is a small share of total sales. That is why this calculator keeps it as a toggle rather than folding it into every order. Model both states to see your best case and worst case margin on the same product.

Yes. A listing costs $0.20 and lasts four months, after which it auto-renews for another $0.20 unless you turn auto-renew off. Listings with multiple quantities also renew each time a unit sells, so a listing that sells three units carries three listing fees. This calculator multiplies the listing fee by quantity for that reason.

Etsy Plus costs $10 a month and includes 15 listing credits, $5 of Etsy Ads credit, extra shop customisation and restock request emails. The credits are worth about $8, so it roughly pays for itself only if you list at least 15 new or renewed items a month. It changes none of the per-sale fees, which is why it sits outside the per-order maths here.

No. The 3% plus $0.25 in this calculator is the Etsy Payments rate for US sellers. UK sellers pay around 4% plus 20p, German sellers 4% plus 0.30 euro, and Australian sellers 3% plus 0.25 Australian dollars. Every rate field here is editable, so set the ones your account actually uses and change the currency symbol to match.

Work backwards, and split Etsy's fees into the percentage part and the fixed part. The percentage part is 6.5% plus 3%, so 9.5%. The fixed part is $0.20 for the listing plus $0.25 for processing, so $0.45. Add that $0.45 to your cost of goods, packaging and any unreimbursed postage, then divide by one minus the percentage rate and your target margin. If your costs come to $12 and you want a 30% margin, divide $12.45 by 0.605 to get $20.58. Price for the Offsite Ads case too, because a 15% fee on an order priced with a thin margin can wipe the profit out entirely.

Etsy favours listings with free shipping to US buyers in search, but the shipping cost does not disappear, it moves into your item price. Either way the same total is charged fees, since the transaction fee applies to the whole order. Build the postage into the item price and use this calculator with shipping charged set to zero to check the margin still holds.

Etsy costs roughly 10% to 11% per order before Offsite Ads, with no monthly fee, and brings its own buyer traffic. A Shopify store costs about 2.9% plus 30 cents in processing on a $39 monthly plan, so roughly 3% per order, but you pay for every visitor yourself. Etsy is cheaper until your traffic is your own, and most established sellers end up running both.

No. Etsy Ads that you run yourself are a daily budget rather than a per-order fee, so divide your monthly spend by monthly orders and treat it as an extra cost. Sales tax and VAT collected from the buyer are not yours to keep and are excluded. Refunds return the transaction fee but not the processing fee, so a high return rate makes your real margin lower than what you see here.

Yes. No signup, no email and no limit on how many orders you model. It is built by Mage Loyalty, a loyalty, referrals and store credit app for Shopify.
