Let's say you are using the Etsy Fee Calculator. Shows the real profit on an Etsy sale after every fee. Enter your item price, shipping cost, and sale quantity, and the tool deducts Etsy's listing fee, transaction fee, payment-processing fee, and Enter the values that match your situation into the input fields and press calculate — using realistic numbers makes the result directly useful for you.

Result: The calculator instantly applies the formula Profit = Sale price - $0.20 - 6.5% x (item+shipping) - (3% x total + $0.25) - offsite ad% - product cost and returns the result with appropriate precision.

What this means: Read the result in the context of what you are measuring. The step-by-step breakdown lets you confirm the math and understand which input most affects the outcome.

Formula & methodology

Formula: Profit = Sale price - $0.20 - 6.5% x (item+shipping) - (3% x total + $0.25) - offsite ad% - product cost

How Etsy fees are calculated

The tool applies Etsy's fee structure: Profit = sale price − $0.20 listing fee − 6.5% transaction fee on the item plus shipping − 3% payment processing fee plus $0.25 on the total − the offsite ads percentage when applicable. Each fee line is shown separately so you see where the money goes.

Example: a $30 item with $5 shipping and 15% offsite ads: fees = $0.20 + $2.28 + $1.31 + $5.25 = $9.04, leaving about $25.96 before product cost.

Reading the result: fees consume 20–35% of gross sales depending on the offsite ads rate, which is why the calculator separates the lines — you can see exactly which fee dominates and model the impact of price changes or advertising opt-out on your real take-home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Etsy take per sale?

On a typical US sale with no offsite-ad attribution, Etsy takes roughly 11% — a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on the item plus shipping, and 3% + $0.25 payment processing. If the sale is attributed to Etsy's Offsite Ads, add 12% or 15% of the order on top, pushing total fees toward 23-26%.

What are Etsy's main fees?

The four core fees are: a $0.20 listing fee per item, a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price plus shipping, payment processing of about 3% + $0.25 in the US, and an Offsite Ads fee of 12-15% that applies only when a buyer reaches your listing through an Etsy-paid ad. Currencies and country rules add minor variations.

How do I calculate my Etsy profit?

Start with the sale price, subtract all Etsy fees (listing, transaction, payment processing, and any offsite-ad fee), then subtract your cost of goods and shipping. Profit = sale price - total fees - product cost. Divide profit by the sale price to get your margin percentage.

Is the transaction fee charged on shipping too?

Yes. Etsy's 6.5% transaction fee applies to the total order value, which includes the shipping you charge the buyer, not just the item price. That is why offering 'free shipping' (with the cost baked into the item price) does not avoid the fee — the fee is calculated on the full amount the buyer pays.

What is the Etsy Offsite Ads fee?

Offsite Ads is Etsy advertising your listings on Google, social media, and other sites. If a buyer clicks one of those ads and orders within 30 days, Etsy charges 15% of the order (or 12% for shops over a sales threshold). Shops below the threshold can opt out; larger shops are enrolled mandatorily.

What are all the fees Etsy takes from a sale?

Four main ones: the $0.20 listing fee per item, the 6.5% transaction fee on the total sale price (item + shipping), the payment-processing fee (~3% + $0.25, varies by country), and the offsite-ads fee (12–15%) only if the sale came through Etsy's external advertising. The tool layers them: profit = price − $0.20 − 6.5%×(item+shipping) − (3%×total + $0.25) − ad% − product cost.

When does the offsite ads fee apply?

Only when a buyer clicks through from one of Etsy's offsite ads and purchases within 30 days — 15% for shops under $10k annual sales, 12% above that threshold. Below $10k you cannot opt out; above it you can. The tool includes it as a toggle so you see profit with and without.

Should I offer free shipping and raise the item price?

Often yes for conversion — but note the 6.5% transaction fee applies to shipping too, so building $5 shipping into the price costs you about $0.33 in extra fees versus charging it separately. The tool shows the net either way, so you can weigh the psychological win against the fee cost. Many sellers find the conversion lift outweighs it.

How do Etsy fee changes affect my existing prices?

Etsy occasionally adjusts rates (the transaction fee went 5% → 6.5% in 2022), which silently shrinks margins on prices set under old assumptions. Re-run your prices through the tool after any announced change — a 1.5-point rise on a $20 item is $0.30 per sale straight off profit. The formula is current as displayed; check Etsy's fee page if rates change again.
