How to use the Etsy Fee Calculator
- Choose the “Country of your Etsy payment account”. It sets the payment processing rate and any regulatory operating fee.
- Enter the “Item price”.
- Enter “Shipping you charge the buyer”.
- Enter “Sales tax charged to the buyer (%)” if you charge sales tax on the listing.
- Keep “Include the listing fee (US$0.20 per listing)” ticked for a new or renewed listing. Outside the US, fill in “Listing fee in your currency (Etsy converts US$0.20)” with the converted amount.
- Under “Offsite Ads”, pick the 15% or 12% option if the sale came from an Offsite Ad.
- Tick “Currency conversion needed (2.5%)” if Etsy converts the payment.
- Read “You keep (after platform fees)” and the fee table.
- Optional: fill in “Your costs (for profit)”: “What the item cost you”, “Your own postage or label cost” and “Packaging and other costs”.
- Optional: under “Price you need”, choose a profit amount, margin or return on cost, enter a target, and the tool shows the lowest price that reaches it.
“Copy link to this result” stores your entries in the page address. “Download CSV” saves the figures, and “Add to my ledger (this browser)” keeps the sale in the browser-only ledger. The table “The same item on other platforms” shows nine platforms, Etsy included, at default options.
How much does Etsy take from a $100 sale?
On a $100 sale from a US payment account with no shipping, Etsy takes $9.95 and you keep $90.05. That is the $0.20 listing fee, a $6.50 transaction fee (6.5%) and $3.25 in payment processing (3% plus $0.25). Offsite Ads, a regulatory operating fee or currency conversion would come on top.
| Fee | How it is worked out | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | Flat US$0.20 | $0.20 |
| Transaction fee | 6.5% of $100 | $6.50 |
| Payment processing | 3% of $100 + $0.25 | $3.25 |
| Total fees | $9.95 | |
| You keep | $100 − $9.95 | $90.05 |
Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee covers item price plus the shipping you charge, and payment processing covers the whole total, including sales tax if you charge it. A $50 item with $5 shipping gives a $3.58 transaction fee, $1.90 processing, $0.20 listing, $5.68 in all, and you keep $49.32.
Add 8% sales tax to a $100 item with $10 shipping and the processing fee is worked out on $118.80: 3% of that plus $0.25 is $3.81. The transaction fee stays at $7.15, because the tool applies it to item plus shipping only.
What are Etsy’s payment processing and regulatory fees by country?
Processing is 3% + $0.25 in the US, 4% + £0.20 in the UK, 4% + €0.30 in euro countries and 3% + C$0.25 in Canada for domestic and US orders. Some countries add a regulatory operating fee on item plus shipping: 0.48% in the UK, 1.14% in France, 0.80% in Italy, 0.88% in Spain and 0.50% in Canada.
A £100 UK item with no shipping, listing fee left out, pays £6.50 transaction, £4.20 processing and £0.48 regulatory: £11.18 in fees, £88.82 kept. Germany and the Netherlands have no regulatory fee on Etsy’s page. Etsy lists many more payment-account countries than this tool offers.
How much is the Etsy Offsite Ads fee?
When a buyer clicks an Offsite Ad and buys within 30 days, Etsy charges 15% for a shop that has always made under US$10,000 in any consecutive 365 days, and 12% once it has reached that amount. One order never pays more than US$100.
A $200 sale at 15% pays $30.00. With the $13.00 transaction fee, $6.25 processing and the $0.20 listing fee, which the tool includes by default, the total is $49.45 and you keep $150.55. Untick “Include the listing fee” and it is $49.25 and $150.75. A $1,000 sale would be 15% = $150, so the ad fee is capped at $100.00. Etsy words the base as what you made before the ad fee; the tool applies the rate to item plus shipping. The cap is applied for US-dollar accounts only.
How this tool works and where the numbers come from
Etsy charges a US$0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on item price plus shipping, payment processing (a percentage plus a fixed amount that depends on the country of your payment account) on the total including any sales tax you charge, a regulatory operating fee in some countries, and 15% or 12% when an order comes from an Offsite Ad. The engine applies each rule to the amounts Etsy names and caps the Offsite Ads fee at US$100 per order.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Etsy fee calculator calculate?
It works out each Etsy fee on one sale and what you keep. It also shows total fees as a share of what the buyer pays you. With your own costs filled in, it adds profit, margin and return on cost.
Is VAT included in the Etsy fee results?
No. Etsy may add VAT to its seller fees depending on your business status and country. Its fee pages give no rate, so the tool leaves VAT out.
Does the calculator work out sales tax for me?
No. The rate you type into “Sales tax charged to the buyer (%)” only changes the base for payment processing. Which rate applies to your order is for you to set.
What is an Etsy profit calculator?
It shows what you keep once Etsy’s fees and your own costs are taken off. Fill in “Your costs (for profit)”, and “Price you need” finds the lowest price that reaches a profit, margin or return target.
Does the listing fee apply to every sale?
It applies to each listing, whether or not it sells. Untick “Include the listing fee” to look at a sale from a listing you already paid for.
Can the other-platforms table take my postage into account?
Yes. Type your label cost into “Your own postage or label cost” and the last column of “The same item on other platforms” becomes “You keep after your postage”. Poshmark has nothing taken off, because its flat buyer shipping pays the label.
