Free Etsy Fee & Profit Calculator
Selling on Etsy requires more than just making great products—it requires understanding a complex web of platform fees.
The Free Etsy Fee & Profit Calculator instantly breaks down your listing costs, transaction percentages, and payment processing surcharges so you can determine your true net profit.
By reverse-engineering your Etsy payouts, you can set the perfect retail price and guarantee you never sell a handmade item at a loss.
How to Calculate Etsy Fees Step-by-Step
To find your exact Etsy profit margin, you must deduct the flat listing fee, the percentage-based transaction fee, and Etsy Payments processing costs from your total customer charge (which includes both item price and shipping).
Worked Step-by-Step Example
Fee Schedule Breakdown & Strategies
The 6.5% Transaction Fee Applies to Shipping
Etsy increased their transaction fee to 6.5% in 2022. This percentage applies to the total cost of the order, meaning Etsy takes a cut of the money you charge the customer for shipping and gift wrapping.
Offsite Ads Are Mandatory for High-Volume Sellers
If your shop makes over $10,000 in a 12-month period, you are automatically enrolled in Offsite Ads. Any sale driven by these ads incurs an un-waivable 12% fee (15% for sellers under the $10k threshold who opt-in).
Listing Auto-Renewal Fees
Every time an item sells, Etsy automatically charges another $0.20 to renew the listing for the next buyer. If an order contains 5 of the same item, you will be charged $0.20 five times.
Currency Conversion Fees
If you list your items in a currency different from your bank account's native currency, Etsy Payments will charge an additional 2.5% currency conversion fee on the total payout.
Avoid Undercutting Yourself
Use the calculator to reverse-engineer your pricing. Add your target profit to your COGS, then divide by (1 - Etsy Fees) to find the minimum required retail price.
