Marketplace fees stack in a way that surprises sellers: a listing fee, a transaction fee on the item, another on the shipping you charged, and a payment processing fee on the total. Four deductions, one sale.

What Etsy Fee & Profit Calculator does

Works out your actual payout and profit after Etsy’s layered fees, defaulting to a 25 item with 5 shipping.

The transaction fee applies to shipping too, which sellers routinely forget — charging more for postage does not pass the full amount through.

Detailed steps

  1. Enter the item price, shipping charged and your cost to make it.
  2. Enter the current fee rates from your Etsy account.
  3. Read the payout and the actual profit per sale.

Worth knowing

Include your own time in "cost to make". Sellers routinely price against materials alone, discover a healthy-looking margin, and find themselves working for very little once the hours are counted. If an item takes ninety minutes and nets eight after fees, that is the number to look at before scaling production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do fees apply to shipping?

The transaction fee does, and payment processing applies to the whole amount collected. So raising your shipping charge does not pass the full increase to you — a portion is taken on the way through.

What is the offsite ads fee?

A share of the sale price when a buyer arrives via an ad Etsy placed. Above a revenue threshold participation is mandatory, so it is not always something you can opt out of. Check your current status.

Why is my profit lower than I expected?

Usually the layering — four separate deductions on one sale — plus unaccounted materials, packaging and time. Packaging in particular is invisible until you total a month of it.

Are these the current rates?

They are defaults, and marketplace fees change. Take the figures from your own Etsy fee schedule; a stale rate here produces a confidently wrong margin.
