How to Calculate Etsy Fees in 2026

Every Etsy sale in 2026 has three standard fees: a flat $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on the full order value, and a payment processing fee of 3% + $0.25. Use the formula below to calculate exact fees for any listing, or use the free calculator to model any price and shipping combination instantly.

The Etsy fee formula (2026)

Apply these three steps to any US Etsy listing. "Order total" means item price plus shipping charged to the buyer.

1

Listing fee $0.20

Flat fee charged when you publish or renew a listing. Charged again after each sale.

2

Transaction fee Order total × 6.5%

Applied to item price + shipping charged. The largest single fee for most sellers.

3

Payment processing Order total × 3% + $0.25

Charged on the full order value. Rate varies by seller country.

Example — $25 item + $5 shipping

Listing fee: $0.20

Transaction fee: $30 × 6.5% = $1.95

Payment processing: $30 × 3% + $0.25 = $1.15

Total fees: $3.30 |  Net revenue: $26.70

How to calculate Etsy fees — FAQ

How do I calculate Etsy fees for any listing?

To calculate Etsy fees: (1) Add $0.20 listing fee. (2) Multiply your total order value (item price + shipping charged) by 0.065 for the 6.5% transaction fee. (3) Multiply the same order total by 0.03 and add $0.25 for payment processing. Sum the three amounts for your total fees before offsite ads.

What is the formula to calculate Etsy fees in 2026?

Total Etsy fees = $0.20 + (order total × 0.065) + (order total × 0.03 + $0.25). For a $25 sale with $5 shipping: $0.20 + ($30 × 0.065) + ($30 × 0.03 + $0.25) = $0.20 + $1.95 + $1.15 = $3.30 total fees.

Does Etsy calculate fees on the item price or total order?

Both the 6.5% transaction fee and the 3% + $0.25 payment processing fee are calculated on the full order total — item price plus any shipping charged to the buyer. The $0.20 listing fee is flat per listing, regardless of price.

How do you calculate Etsy fees on digital downloads?

Digital downloads have no shipping, so fees apply only to the item price: $0.20 listing + (price × 6.5%) + (price × 3% + $0.25). A $5 digital download costs $0.20 + $0.33 + $0.40 = $0.93 in total fees, leaving $4.07 net.

What percentage of each Etsy sale goes to fees?

For a typical US sale without offsite ads, Etsy fees total roughly 9.5–10.5% of the order value plus the flat $0.20 listing fee. Higher-priced items have a slightly lower effective rate because the $0.20 and $0.25 fixed components become proportionally smaller.
