Best Practices

  • Factor in ALL fees when pricing—not just the 6.5% transaction fee
  • Remember: fees apply to shipping charges too, not just item price
  • Build a 12-15% buffer into prices to cover total Etsy fees
  • Track your effective fee rate to ensure you're pricing profitably
  • Offsite Ads become mandatory at $10K annual sales—plan accordingly

Frequently Asked Questions

How to Use the Etsy Fee Calculator

This calculator helps you understand exactly what Etsy takes from each sale. Enter your sale details to see a complete fee breakdown and your actual take-home amount. The calculator accounts for all standard Etsy fees and lets you compare scenarios with and without Offsite Ads.

Input Fields Explained

Sale Price

The price you're charging for your item (before shipping). This is the base amount that Etsy's transaction fee is calculated on.

Shipping Charged to Buyer

How much you charge the buyer for shipping. Important: Etsy charges fees on this amount too, not just your item price.

Your Country

Your location affects payment processing fees. US sellers pay 3% + $0.25, while UK and EU sellers pay slightly higher rates.

Offsite Ads

Select "Yes" if the buyer clicked an Etsy ad before purchasing. Shops earning $10K+/year must participate and pay 12%. Smaller shops pay 15% but can opt out.

Item Cost (Optional)

Your cost to make or source the item. Add this to see your actual profit after all costs and fees.

Shipping Cost (Optional)

What you actually pay for shipping. If you charge $8 but pay $5, enter $5 here to see true profit.

Tips for Accurate Calculations

  • Always calculate fees BEFORE setting prices to ensure profitability
  • Build a 12-15% buffer into your prices to cover typical Etsy fees
  • Test different shipping price scenarios to see the impact on take-home pay
  • If you offer free shipping, add that cost to your item price first
  • Use the profit fields to understand your true margin, not just revenue

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Forgetting that Etsy charges fees on shipping, not just item price
  • Not accounting for potential Offsite Ads fees (adds 12-15%)
  • Confusing take-home revenue with actual profit
  • Underestimating the $0.20 listing fee impact on low-priced items
  • Using pre-fee profit targets instead of post-fee calculations
