This Etsy Fee Calculator is for sellers who need to know how much Etsy takes from each order before they set a price. Enter your item price, shipping charged, item cost, actual shipping cost, and Offsite Ads setting to estimate listing fees, transaction fees, payment processing fees, and take-home profit. It is especially useful for handmade shops, vintage sellers, and small ecommerce brands comparing free shipping, paid shipping, and ad-driven sales. Use the result to see whether an Etsy order is profitable after platform fees, shipping, materials, and your own cost assumptions.
If an item sells for $45 and the buyer pays $6 shipping, Etsy transaction fees may apply to the item price plus shipping charged.
Turn Offsite Ads on and off to compare a normal Etsy sale with an ad-attributed sale before deciding whether the margin still works.

Etsy fees are not a single flat charge. A real Etsy profit estimate needs the listing fee, transaction fee, payment processing fee, shipping charged to the buyer, your actual shipping cost, and optional Offsite Ads fee in one calculation.
Enter the price the buyer pays for the item and the shipping amount you charge. Etsy's transaction fee applies to the total order amount, including shipping. If you offer free shipping, enter $0 for shipping charged, but still enter your real shipping cost later so the calculator can show true profit.
Etsy charges a listing fee when an item is listed and again when a sold listing renews. For high-volume or low-priced items, the listing fee can noticeably change margin. Keeping it in the calculation helps answer searches like 'how much does Etsy take per sale' with a complete per-order estimate.
The transaction fee is based on the order amount, while payment processing usually combines a percentage and a fixed charge. That fixed charge matters most on low-priced products, such as stickers, printables, and small accessories, because it takes a larger share of the order.
If Offsite Ads applies, Etsy may deduct an additional advertising fee from orders attributed to those ads. Sellers under the annual threshold may be able to opt out, while larger shops may not. Use the toggle to compare a normal Etsy sale with an ad-driven sale before deciding whether the margin still works.
Item cost should include materials, supplies, wholesale cost, or production cost. Actual shipping cost is what you pay the carrier, even if the buyer paid a different shipping amount. This lets the calculator show whether shipping is adding profit, breaking even, or quietly reducing take-home pay.
The result shows Etsy fees, total cost, net profit, and profit margin. Use this take-home number before changing prices, offering free shipping, running promotions, or accepting lower-margin products. If the margin is thin, test a higher item price, lower material cost, or different shipping strategy.
This estimator includes configured rates for: (1) Listing fee: $0.20 per item, renewed each time the item sells. (2) Transaction fee: 6.5% of the total sale amount including shipping. (3) Payment processing: 3% + $0.25 per transaction for US sellers. (4) Offsite Ads fee: 15% if the sale came from an Etsy ad. Total fees per sale are typically 10–23% depending on Offsite Ads. Verify final fees in your Etsy account.
For many US sellers, Etsy takes a listing fee, a transaction fee on the item price and shipping charged, and a payment processing fee. If Offsite Ads applies, the total deduction can be much higher. The exact amount depends on order value, shipping charged, payment processing rules, and ad attribution, so use the calculator to model the full order instead of relying on a single percentage.
Yes. Etsy's transaction fee applies to the total order amount, including the shipping amount charged to the buyer. That means free shipping and paid shipping can produce different-looking fee lines, but the real decision should be based on take-home profit after your actual carrier cost is included.
Yes — if your annual Etsy sales are under $10,000, you can opt out of Offsite Ads in Etsy Shop Manager → Shop Settings → Offsite Ads. If your annual sales exceed $10,000, participation is mandatory and you cannot opt out. Offsite Ads may add an additional fee when enabled, so verify your final rate in Etsy.
Etsy total fees without Offsite Ads: approximately 10–12% per sale. With Offsite Ads: 15–22%. eBay total fees: 14–17%. Amazon FBA: 25–40% (but includes fulfillment). Etsy is cost-competitive for handmade and unique goods where the Etsy audience is the key advantage — not the fee rate.
After all Etsy fees, materials, packaging, and your labor, target at least 30–40% net margin on revenue. If you make handmade goods, price your time at minimum $20–25/hour and run the full calculation including your labor cost. Many Etsy sellers chronically underprice their time and mistake 'busyness' for profitability.
