How this Etsy fee calculator works
Etsy charges a 6.5% transaction fee on the order total (item price plus shipping), a $0.20 listing fee per listing, and payment processing of 3% plus $0.25 per transaction. If an order comes through Etsy offsite ads, an additional 15% of the order total is deducted for sellers below $10,000 in annual sales (12% above that).
Enter your price and shipping to see each fee separately, and enter your real costs — materials plus what shipping actually costs you — to see the profit per order. Many sellers discover their prices are only profitable at a volume they never planned for, because fees scale with price while materials often do not.
Pricing tips for Etsy sellers
- Price so that fees, materials and shipping leave you at least 30% margin.
- Account for the listing fee on every listing, even if it sells slowly.
- Offsite ads can be profitable — but budget the 15% into the price, not your profit.
- Free shipping is a ranking factor, but build shipping cost into the price first.
