The Etsy calculator adds three core fees per sale: the $0.20 listing fee, the 6.5% transaction fee (on item price + shipping), and the 3% + $0.25 payment processing fee for US sellers. You can also toggle offsite ads (15% or 12% depending on your annual revenue) to see the full cost scenario.
Net profit = (item price + shipping charged) minus all Etsy fees minus cost of goods. Profit margin = net profit divided by total revenue, expressed as a percentage. For example: a $25 item with $4 shipping and $8 in materials gives $29 revenue, ~$3.10 in Etsy fees, and roughly $17.90 net profit — about a 62% margin.
The flat fees ($0.20 listing + $0.25 processing) make the effective rate higher for lower-price items. On a $5 sale the effective rate is around 18.5%; on a $100 sale it drops to under 10%. This is why many successful Etsy sellers set a minimum price of $15–20 to keep effective fee rates reasonable.
No. Etsy has not changed its fee structure for 2026. The rates — $0.20 listing, 6.5% transaction, 3% + $0.25 processing (US) — have been in place since April 2022. Use this calculator to confirm you are working with current 2026 rates.
Add $0.20 (listing) + 6.5% of sale price including shipping (transaction) + 3% of sale price + $0.25 (payment processing, US). For a $30 item with $5 shipping: $0.20 + $2.28 + $1.15 = $3.63 total fees. Your net payout is $31.37 before material costs.
Etsy takes roughly 9.5–11% in total fees for a typical US sale, depending on item price. The effective rate is higher on cheaper items due to flat fees. On a $10 item, Etsy keeps about 14%; on a $50 item, about 10.4%; on a $100 item, about 9.95%.
Yes — Etsy charges a 6.5% transaction fee on the total of item price plus any shipping you charge the buyer. If you charge $5 for shipping on a $25 item, the transaction fee applies to the $30 total. Always include shipping in your fee calculation.
When a buyer finds your listing through an Etsy-placed ad on Google, Facebook, or Pinterest and purchases within 30 days, Etsy charges an additional 15% (or 12% if you exceeded $10,000 in sales over the past 12 months). Sellers under $10,000 can opt out in Shop Manager.
Most successful Etsy sellers target a 30–50% net profit margin after all fees and material costs. Anything below 20% is considered thin for a handmade business. Use the reverse calculator on the homepage to find what price to charge for any target margin.
