Etsy profit calculator
Handmade margins die when materials and packaging are ignored. This page takes the Etsy fee stack, subtracts material/labor you enter, and shows whether the listing price is a hobby donation.
Estimate only — not your seller payout.
When to use — and when not to
When to use
New SKU costing; raising prices after supply costs moved; comparing “free shipping” against baking postage into the item price.
When not to
Fees-only curiosity → Etsy fee calculator. Wholesale / production planner beyond one unit — split per unit first.
Assumptions
Same Etsy fee defaults. profit = order − fees − materials − packaging − your_label_cost.
Worked examples
$45 item + $0 ship; materials $14; label $4.20; no ads
Fees on $45 ≈ $4.70 → profit ≈ $22.10
Same with $6 shipping charged and $6.50 label
Higher fee base + label drag — profit may fall even if “shipping is paid.”
Charged shipping is not free money.
How it calculates
Fees as Etsy fee page → subtract costs → margin %
Stack the fee lines, then read payout (and profit when costs are entered).
- Enter order totals and fee defaults.
- Add materials and label cost.
- Toggle Offsite Ads if attributed.
- Read profit on the stack.
Common traps
- Packaging and inserts are real COGS.
- Your time at $0 makes every SKU look fine until you scale.
- Currency conversion fees if payout currency differs.
- One star refund is not in the model.

FAQ
Take the order total (item plus shipping and gift wrap you charge), subtract Etsy’s fee stack, then subtract materials/labor and the label you paid. That is unit planning profit for one order — not your annual tax return.
