Every Etsy sale in 2026 incurs these four possible fee types. The first three apply to all sales; the fourth only applies when Etsy's Offsite Ads program delivers the buyer.
Listing fee
$0.20 per listing
Charged when you publish or renew a listing. Auto-renewed after each sale.
Transaction fee
6.5% of order total
Applied to item price + shipping charged to buyer. The largest single fee for most sellers.
Payment processing
3% + $0.25 (US)
Charged on the full order value. Rate varies by country: 4% + £0.20 in UK, 3% + CA$0.25 in Canada.
Offsite Ads fee
15% (or 12% high-volume)
Only applies when a buyer arrives via an Etsy Offsite Ad. Sellers over $10k/year pay 12%.
Alura helps Etsy sellers find products with strong demand, analyze competitor revenue, and track keyword rankings. Where research tools like Alura tell you what to sell, a dedicated fee calculator tells you what you'll actually keep from each sale.
Once you identify a promising product in Alura, use the Etsy fee calculator to model your exact pricing — testing different price points, shipping charges, and offsite ads scenarios before you list.
For sellers targeting specific niches, the Etsy profit margin calculator helps you set a minimum price floor that protects your margins across all fee scenarios.
Beyond the main calculator, these focused tools cover specific fee scenarios Etsy sellers encounter most often:
Current Etsy fees in 2026 are: $0.20 listing fee per item, 6.5% transaction fee on the total sale (item price + shipping), and a payment processing fee of 3% + $0.25. If a sale comes through an Etsy Offsite Ad, an additional 15% advertising fee applies (12% for sellers exceeding $10,000 in annual revenue).
Alura is a paid Etsy seller research tool that includes keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and a built-in fee calculator. This free Etsy fee calculator focuses exclusively on precise fee calculation — listing fees, transaction fees, payment processing, and offsite ads — with no account or subscription required. Use both: Alura for product research, this tool for exact profit modeling on any listing.
To calculate Etsy fees on any listing: (1) Add $0.20 listing fee. (2) Multiply the total order value (item price + shipping charged) by 6.5% for the transaction fee. (3) Multiply the same total by 3% and add $0.25 for payment processing. (4) If offsite ads apply, add 15% of the order value. Sum all four lines to get total fees, then subtract from your order value and cost of goods to find net profit.
Yes. Digital downloads still incur the $0.20 listing fee and the 6.5% transaction fee on the item price. Because there is no shipping, there is no shipping-related fee. Payment processing (3% + $0.25) also applies. A $3 digital download nets approximately $2.46 after all fees with no cost of goods.
For a typical US sale with shipping, Etsy takes roughly 9.5-10% of the order value in combined fees (transaction + payment processing), plus the flat $0.20 listing fee. If offsite ads triggered the sale, effective Etsy take rises to approximately 24-25% of the order value. Use this calculator to model your specific price and shipping combination.
