Etsy Fee Calculator

How it works

Pick the country of your Etsy bank account, then enter your price, the shipping you charge and your costs. The calculator applies that country's Etsy rates and shows each fee, your payout, profit and margin. Enter a target profit or margin and it gives the item price you need, rounded up to the cent.

How we calculate it

These are the same steps as "Show the working" in the calculator. A step appears there only when it applies to your order.

1. Fee base: item price × quantity + shipping you charge + gift wrap. This is what the buyer pays before tax.
2. Tax: if you enter a sales tax rate, tax = rate × (items + gift wrap, plus shipping if taxed). Etsy pays it to the state, so it is not in your payout.
3. Listing fee: US$0.20 × quantity, converted at the exchange rate for non-US shops.
4. Transaction fee: 6.5% × fee base.
5. Payment processing: your country's % × (fee base + tax) + the fixed fee, once per order.
6. Regulatory operating fee: your country's % × fee base.
7. Offsite Ads: 15% or 12% × fee base, up to US$100 per order.
8. Currency conversion: 2.5% × (fee base + tax), only when your listings and bank account use different currencies.
9. VAT on fees: your VAT rate × the sum of the fees above.
10. Total Etsy fees: all fees plus VAT, also shown as a % of the fee base.
11. Net payout: fee base − total fees.
12. Profit: net payout − cost per item × quantity − what shipping costs you.
13. Margin: profit ÷ fee base.
14. Price for a target: the percentage fees (r) and fixed fees (F) are added up. The fee base needed is (target profit + costs + F) ÷ (1 − r). For a margin it is (costs + F) ÷ (1 − r − margin). Take off shipping and gift wrap, divide by quantity, and round up to the cent. If Offsite Ads would pass the US$100 cap, the solve uses the capped fee instead. The calculator then checks the answer with the steps above.

Each fee is worked out unrounded and shown to the nearest cent, so the lines can differ from the total by a cent.

Example: a $25 item with $5 shipping (US)

Fee base $25.00 + $5.00 = $30.00. Listing $0.20. Transaction 6.5% × $30.00 = $1.95. Processing 3% × $30.00 + $0.25 = $1.15. Total fees $3.30, which is 11.00% of what the buyer paid. With $8.00 cost of goods and $4.50 shipping cost, the profit is $30.00 − $3.30 − $8.00 − $4.50 = $14.20, a 47.33% margin.
