Etsy charges various fees for listing, selling, and accepting payments. However, calculating these fees can be confusing and time-consuming. That’s where an Etsy fees calculator comes in handy.
By inputting the item’s price and product costs, the calculator will provide you with an estimate of the fees you can expect to pay, including Etsy’s transaction fee, payment processing fee, and any listing fees.
Using the Etsy Fees Calculator
This calculator can help you determine the fees associated with selling on Etsy and give you an idea of how much profit you’ll make from each sale. Here’s how to use it:
Input Sale Price and Product Cost
To use the calculator, you’ll need to input the sale price, which includes the item price and product cost. Once you’ve entered all of this information, the calculator will automatically generate the fees associated with the sale.
Analyzing the Results
The calculator shows fees associated with the sale. Fees are further split into:
- Listing fee
- Transaction fee
- Payment processing fee
- Offsite ads sale fee (only if you use offsite ads)
You can use this information to determine how much profit you’ll make from the sale and adjust your pricing accordingly.
Understanding Etsy Fees
Here’s a breakdown of the different types of fees you can expect to encounter:
Listing Fees
When you create a listing on Etsy, you’ll be charged a fee of $0.20 per item. This fee is non-refundable, even if your item doesn’t sell. You can renew your listing for an additional $0.20 if it expires before it sells.
Transaction Fees
In addition to the listing fee, Etsy charges a transaction fee on each sale. This fee is currently 6.5% of the total sale price. So, if you sell an item for $20, your transaction fee would be $1.30 ($20 x 6.5%).
Payment Processing Fees
If you choose to use Etsy’s payment processing system, you’ll also be charged a payment processing fee. This fee is variable based on the country and is currently 3% + $0.25 per transaction for the US market. So, if you sell an item for $20 and use Etsy Payments, your payment processing fee would be $0.85 ($20 x 3% + $0.25).
Advertising Fees
Etsy offers various advertising options to help you promote your listings. If you choose to use offside ads options, you’ll be charged an advertising fee based on the store’s earnings.
The fee varies depending on the advertising option you select and the amount you spend, but Etsy provides clear information on the cost before you commit to any advertising.
