Etsy fee calculator
Etsy fees are three ordinary lines people forget to add together: listing fee, transaction percent on (price + shipping + gift wrap), and payment processing. Offsite Ads, when attributed, is a fourth line that can dwarf the rest. This page stacks them for a US-seller default you can override.
Estimate only — not your seller payout.
When to use — and when not to
When to use
Pricing a new listing; deciding whether to bump shipping separately; sanity-checking an Offsite Ads sale.
When not to
Full craft COGS profit → Etsy profit calculator. Non-US processing rates — change the processing fields.
Assumptions
Listing $0.20 per sale model line. Transaction 6.5%. Processing 3% + $0.25 (US). Offsite Ads off by default.
Worked examples
$30 item + $5 shipping, no ads
Listing $0.20 + txn $2.275 + proc ≈ $1.30 → fees ≈ $3.78; payout before cost ≈ $31.22
Same with 15% Offsite Ads
+$5.25 ads → fees ≈ $9.03
That is why “Etsy takes ~10%” slogans fail on ad-attributed orders.
How it calculates
order = item + shipping + gift_wrap listing = 0.20 transaction = order × 0.065 processing = order × 0.03 + 0.25 offsite = order × ads_pct if attributed total_fees = sum payout_before_cost = order − total_fees
Stack the fee lines, then read payout (and profit when costs are entered).
- Enter item price and shipping charged.
- Leave Offsite Ads at 0 unless the sale was attributed.
- Override processing if your country differs.
- Read the fee stack.
Common traps
- Transaction applies to shipping you charge.
- Processing often applies to a wider base than transaction.
- Listing renewals every 4 months still cost money if unsold.
- Auto-renewed Offsite Ads may be mandatory above thresholds.

FAQ
On a simple US-style sale you often see listing, transaction percent, and payment processing stack to roughly low-double-digit percent before Offsite Ads. Ads attributed to a sale can push the take much higher. Run your price and shipping through the stack instead of guessing one vibe percent.
