The Etsy Fee & Profit Calculator
Etsy never charges just "6.5%." Every sale carries a stack: the listing fee, the transaction fee on your shipping too, payment processing on the tax as well — and, on some sales, a 15% Offsite Ads fee that can quietly take the whole profit. Run the whole stack before you price, not after the payout looks small.
One sale, the whole truth
US seller rates from Etsy's Fees & Payments Policy and Etsy Payments Policy (checked November 2026). Results update as you type.
How it works: Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee per item sold, a 6.5% transaction fee on the price plus the shipping you charge (not on sales tax), and payment processing of 3% + $0.25 on everything the buyer pays — price, shipping, and the sales tax Etsy collects. If the buyer found you through an Offsite Ad, Etsy adds 15% (shops under $10,000 a year) or 12% (at or over $10,000), capped at $100 per order. US sellers pay no regulatory operating fee. This tool runs that whole stack, then subtracts what the item and shipping actually cost you.

Private by design: everything runs right here in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere, saved anywhere, or seen by anyone — close the tab and it's gone. Rates are Etsy's published US schedule as of November 2026; Etsy changes fees from time to time, so treat results as a close estimate, not a statement. Sellers outside the US pay different processing rates and, in some countries, a regulatory operating fee.
Straight Answers
What Etsy sellers usually get wrong
The 6.5% is charged on your shipping too
The transaction fee applies to the price plus whatever shipping you charge. A $20 item with $5 shipping is fee'd on $25, not $20 — and "free shipping" folded into the price doesn't dodge it, because the fee follows the total either way.
Processing is charged on the sales tax
Etsy Payments takes 3% + $0.25 on everything the buyer pays, including the sales tax Etsy collects and remits for you. The tax was never your money, but you still pay processing on it — small per order, real across a year.
Offsite Ads is the fee that eats whole margins
If a buyer clicks an Etsy ad on Google or social media and buys within 30 days, Etsy keeps another 15% of the order (12% once your shop passes $10,000 in any 365 days — and from then on you can't opt out). On a thin-margin item that's the difference between a profit and a loss, which is why this calculator lets you price the worst case, not just the best one.
The flat fees punish the cheapest listings
$0.20 listing + $0.25 processing is $0.45 before any percentage moves. On a $5 item that's 9% gone on flat fees alone. Cheap items need bundles, multi-packs, or a price that carries them — run the number here before listing, not after a month of payouts.
