The Etsy Fee & Profit Calculator computes net profit per sale on Etsy by accounting for every fee Etsy charges: the $0.20 listing fee, the 6.5% transaction fee on item price plus shipping, payment processing fees (~3% + $0.25 in the US), and the 12–15% offsite ads fee when applicable. For handmade and vintage sellers, understanding the true net margin per sale is essential because Etsy fees can consume 15–25% of gross revenue before any cost of goods.

1. 1Enter your selling price, item cost (COGS), actual shipping cost, and shipping charged to buyer
2. 2Select your country — payment processing rates differ by region (US: 3% + $0.25, UK/EU: higher)
3. 3Indicate whether the sale came from an Offsite Ad (Etsy charges 12% or 15% if you make $10k+ in 12 months)
4. 4The calculator applies the $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee on gross (item + shipping charged), and country-specific payment processing
5. 5Net profit = gross sale − all Etsy fees − item cost − shipping cost
6. 6Profit margin is shown as a percentage of selling price
7. 7A pie chart shows where each dollar of the sale goes (item cost, shipping, fees, profit)

Worked Examples

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• ✕Forgetting that the 6.5% transaction fee applies to shipping charged to buyer, not just item price
• ✕Ignoring offsite ad fees — Etsy automatically enrolls sellers and charges 12–15% on those specific sales
• ✕Using incorrect payment processing rates — UK and EU rates are higher than US (4% + £0.20 vs 3% + $0.25)
• ✕Not including the $0.20 listing fee or assuming it only applies once per product (it applies per listing slot every 4 months)
