How to Use This Calculator

Calculate your Etsy listing fees and project costs over time:

  1. Enter the number of listings you plan to create or currently have.
  2. Select the listing duration (standard is 4 months).
  3. Enable auto-renew if your listings automatically renew when they expire.
  4. If you use multi-quantity listings, enter the quantity per listing.
  5. Add your average monthly sales to calculate sale renewal fees.
  6. Click 'Calculate' to see your projected listing costs.

Why This Matters

Etsy's $0.20 listing fee seems small, but it adds up fast. Every time you create a listing, it expires and auto-renews, or when an item sells, you're charged $0.20. Sellers with hundreds of listings and high sales volume can spend hundreds of dollars annually just on listing fees. Understanding these costs helps you make informed decisions about your inventory strategy and pricing.

  • Project monthly and yearly listing fee expenses
  • Understand the true cost of auto-renew
  • Calculate multi-quantity listing fee impact
  • Plan inventory size based on fee budget
  • Make informed decisions about listing strategies

Worked Examples

Small Shop (50 listings)

50 listings with auto-renew, 20 sales per month.

Calculation: Initial: $10 | Monthly renewals: ~$2.50 | Sale renewals: $4/month
Result: ~$78/year in listing fees. Manageable for most small shops.

Medium Shop (200 listings)

200 listings with auto-renew, 100 sales per month.

Calculation: Initial: $40 | Monthly renewals: ~$10 | Sale renewals: $20/month
Result: ~$360/year in listing fees. Factor this into your pricing!

High-Volume Shop (500 listings)

500 listings, multi-quantity, 300 sales per month.

Calculation: Initial: $100 | Monthly renewals: ~$25 | Sale renewals: $60/month
Result: ~$1,020/year just in listing fees! Significant cost to track.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Forgetting that listing fees are charged when items SELL (auto-renews to relist).
  • Not accounting for multi-quantity listings - each sale triggers a $0.20 fee.
  • Creating too many listings without sales - paying renewal fees with no return.
  • Ignoring the cumulative cost when scaling up inventory.
  • Not factoring listing fees into per-item profit calculations.
