What is Etsy Fee Calculator?

The Etsy Fee Calculator helps Etsy sellers understand the complete fee structure that applies to every sale. Etsy charges multiple layers of fees: a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee, payment processing of 3% + $0.25, and potentially a 15% offsite ads fee. These fees can add up to 25%+ of your sale price, making it crucial to calculate them before pricing items.

How to Use Etsy Fee Calculator

Enter your item sale price and optional shipping charge. Toggle the offsite ads fee if applicable. The calculator breaks down every Etsy fee: $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee, 3% + $0.25 payment processing, and optional 15% offsite ads fee. See your total fees and net profit instantly.

How Etsy Fee Calculator Works

The calculator applies all four Etsy fee layers. The $0.20 listing fee is charged per item listed (renewed on sale). The 6.5% transaction fee applies to the total sale price including shipping. Payment processing is 3% + $0.25 on the total. If toggled, the 15% offsite ads fee applies to the item price. All fees are summed to show your true net profit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Etsy's total fee percentage?

Without offsite ads, Etsy's combined fees are approximately 9.5% + $0.45 (listing fee $0.20, transaction 6.5%, processing 3% + $0.25). With the 15% offsite ads fee, total fees can reach 24.5% + $0.45.

What is the Etsy listing fee?

Etsy charges $0.20 per listing. Each listing lasts 4 months or until the item sells. When an item sells, the listing is automatically renewed for another $0.20. For multi-quantity listings, each sale triggers a $0.20 renewal.

Can I opt out of Etsy offsite ads?

Shops that made less than $10,000 in the past 12 months can opt out. Shops that made $10,000+ are automatically enrolled and cannot opt out. The offsite ads fee is 15% for shops under $10K and 12% for shops over $10K.

Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?

Yes, Etsy's 6.5% transaction fee applies to the total order amount including shipping. Payment processing fees (3% + $0.25) also apply to the full amount. This means offering "free shipping" by including it in the item price doesn't save on fees.

How much does Etsy take from a $100 sale?

For a $100 sale without offsite ads: $0.20 listing + $6.50 transaction fee + $3.25 processing = $9.95 total. You keep $90.05. With the 15% offsite ads fee, you'd pay an additional $15.00, keeping just $75.05.

Is selling on Etsy worth the fees?

Despite fees of ~10-25%, Etsy provides access to 96+ million active buyers specifically looking for handmade, vintage, and unique items. For many sellers, this targeted traffic justifies the fees compared to driving traffic to their own website.
