How to use the Etsy Seller Fee Calculator
- Enter the item price, shipping and any gift wrap charge.
- Check the Etsy fee rates (pre-filled for US shops).
- If the order came from an Offsite Ad, choose the rate that applies to your shop.
- Add your item and postage costs and press Calculate.
Formula
Transaction fee = (price + shipping + gift wrap) × 6.5%
Payment processing = (sale total + sales tax) × rate + fixed fee
Offsite Ads = sale total × rate, capped per order
Profit = sale total − listing fee − transaction fee − processing − Offsite Ads − your costs
Examples
- 25 item + 5 shipping, US rates, no Offsite Ad, cost 8, postage 5: fees 0.20 + 1.95 + 1.15 = 3.30, profit ≈ 13.70.
Frequently asked questions
Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?
Yes. Etsy’s transaction fee applies to the displayed price plus shipping and gift wrapping, so higher shipping charges raise the fee.
Why is the listing fee charged even if an item sells once?
Etsy charges the listing fee when a listing is created or renewed. Multi-quantity listings renew automatically after each sale, which adds another listing fee.
