Etsy Fees Calculator
Quickly calculate your exact profit after all Etsy fees so you know what you'll really earn from each sale.How Etsy Fees Calculator Works
When you sell on Etsy, several fees are automatically deducted from your sale price before you receive payment. This calculator shows you exactly how much you'll keep after all fees so you can price your items confidently.
Etsy charges multiple types of fees: a $0.20 listing fee per item, a 6.5% transaction fee on the total sale price, a 3% + $0.25 payment processing fee, and optional offsite ads fees (12% or 15% depending on your annual sales volume).
All fees are calculated on the total amount your customer pays, including the item price and any shipping costs. The calculator breaks down each fee separately so you can see exactly where your money goes and what's left as profit after subtracting your costs.
Etsy Fees Calculator Formula Breakdown
Formula
Listing fee = $0.20 (fixed fee per listing)
Transaction fee = Selling price × 6.5%
Processing fee = Selling price × 3% + $0.25
Offsite ads fee = Selling price × Offsite ads rate
Total Etsy fees = Listing fee + Transaction fee + Processing fee + Offsite ads fee
Total profit = Selling price - Cost - Total Etsy fees
Variables Explained
- Selling priceThe total amount your customer pays for the item, including any shipping costs you charge. This is the price you set when creating your listing on Etsy.
- CostYour total cost to make or source the item, including materials, labor, and any other expenses. This helps calculate your actual profit after fees.
- Offsite ads sale rateEtsy's advertising fee when customers find your products through ads on Google, Facebook, or other external sites. Rate is 15% for sellers with less than $10,000 in annual sales, or 12% for sellers above that threshold. Leave at 0% if you don't participate in offsite ads.
Example Calculation
Given:
- Selling price: $20
- Cost: $5
- Offsite ads sale rate: 0%
Calculation:
Listing fee: $0.20 (fixed fee)
Transaction fee: $20.00 × 6.5% = $1.30
Processing fee: $20.00 × 3% + $0.25 = $0.60 + $0.25 = $0.85
Offsite ads fee: $20.00 × 0% = $0.00
Total Etsy fees: $0.20 + $1.30 + $0.85 + $0.00 = $2.35
Total profit: $20.00 - $5.00 - $2.35 = $12.65
Result:
$12.65Explanation
This example shows a $20 handmade item that costs $5 to make, with no offsite advertising. After all Etsy fees, you'd keep $12.65 in profit, representing a 63.25% profit margin.
Tips for Using Etsy Fees Calculator
- 💡Factor in all fees when setting your prices - aim for at least 50% profit margin to account for Etsy fees plus your time and overhead costs.
- 💡If you're enrolled in offsite ads automatically and have less than $10,000 in annual sales, budget for the 15% fee on sales that come through external advertising.
- 💡Remember that Etsy fees apply to your total selling price including shipping, so consider offering free shipping with the cost built into your item price for cleaner calculations.
