How to Use This Calculator

Calculate the true cost of selling on Etsy with all fees included:

  1. Enter your item's selling price.
  2. Add the shipping amount you'll charge the buyer.
  3. Select whether you have Etsy Plus (affects listing fees).
  4. Indicate if this sale might trigger Offsite Ads fees (applies to shops over $10K annual sales).
  5. Click 'Calculate' to see all fees broken down and your actual earnings.

Why This Matters

Etsy's fee structure is complex - listing fees, transaction fees, payment processing fees, and potentially Offsite Ads fees can significantly eat into your profits. Many sellers are surprised to find fees taking 15-25% of their sale price. Understanding these fees BEFORE setting prices ensures you're actually making money on each sale and helps you price competitively while maintaining healthy margins.

Worked Examples

Handmade Jewelry

Selling a $35 necklace with $5 shipping to a US buyer.

Calculation: Listing: $0.20 | Transaction (6.5%): $2.60 | Payment (3%+$0.25): $1.45
Result: Total fees: ~$4.25 | You keep: ~$35.75 of the $40 total (89%)

With Offsite Ads

Same $35 necklace, but buyer came through Offsite Ads (12-15% fee on sale).

Calculation: Base fees: $4.25 + Offsite Ads (12%): $4.80
Result: Total fees: ~$9.05 | You keep: ~$30.95 (77%) - significantly less!

Digital Download

Selling a $5 digital printable (no shipping).

Calculation: Listing: $0.20 | Transaction: $0.33 | Payment: $0.40
Result: Total fees: ~$0.93 | You keep: ~$4.07 (81%) - still profitable on low-priced items.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Forgetting that transaction fees apply to shipping amount too - not just item price.
  • Not accounting for Offsite Ads if your shop exceeds $10K annually (mandatory 12-15% fee).
  • Ignoring the $0.20 listing fee when calculating margins on low-priced items.
  • Thinking payment processing fees are included in transaction fees - they're separate.
  • Setting prices based on competitors without checking if they're actually profitable.
