HERE’S THE MATH

How the math works

Order revenue = item price × items + shipping charged. Listing fee = $0.20 × items sold. Transaction fee = 6.5% × order revenue. Payment processing = 3% × (order revenue + sales tax) + $0.25. Offsite Ads fee = 15% or 12% × order revenue, capped at $100, only on ad-attributed sales. Profit = order revenue − Etsy fees − item costs − shipping cost. Target price per item = ((listing fees + $0.25 + costs) ÷ (1 − transaction % − processing % × (1 + tax %) − Offsite Ads % − target margin %) − shipping charged) ÷ items, rounded up to cents.

An example with numbers

A $25 item with $5 shipping charged brings in $30. Etsy takes a $0.20 listing fee, a $1.95 transaction fee (6.5% of $30) and a $1.15 payment processing fee (3% of $30 plus $0.25), $3.30 in total, about 11% of the order. After a $9 item cost and $4.50 of postage and packing, the profit is $13.20. To keep a 30% margin with the same costs, the item would need to be priced at $18.06 or more.

These are example numbers, not suggested market rates. Your costs and fees will be different. Prices round to cents, and your payment provider may round fees differently.

A few questions you might have

Are these Etsy fees up to date?

The defaults follow Etsy's US Fees & Payments Policy as last updated October 5, 2026. Etsy changes fees from time to time, so check your payment account and edit the rates if they differ.

Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?

Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee and the payment processing fee both apply to shipping charged to the buyer.

Can I opt out of Offsite Ads?

Shops under $10,000 in yearly sales can opt out. Shops above that threshold must take part, at the lower 12% rate. Leave the Offsite Ads field at 0 for normal sales.

Why is the listing fee counted per item?

Each listing costs $0.20. On a multi-quantity listing, Etsy renews the listing for another $0.20 each time an item sells, so in practice you pay about $0.20 per item sold.

Can I compare profit with and without Etsy Offsite Ads fees?

Yes. Try the applicable Offsite Ads rate for an ad-attributed sale, then set it to zero to compare a sale without that fee. Keep the other inputs the same so you can see what the ad fee changes.

How much does Etsy take per sale?

For a US seller, a typical Etsy sale pays three fees: a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price plus shipping, and a payment processing fee of 3% plus $0.25 per order. Together these usually come to roughly 10–12% of the order on a mid-priced item, more on cheap items because of the fixed fees. If the sale came through Etsy's Offsite Ads, add another 15% (12% for shops with more than $10,000 in yearly sales), capped at $100 per order.

Etsy fees on shipping and sales tax

Etsy charges the transaction fee on shipping as well as the item price, so free shipping and charged shipping are taxed the same way. The payment processing fee is charged on the whole order, including the sales tax Etsy collects for the state. The tax itself is not your income, but the fee on it is your cost, which is why the calculator has a sales tax field.

How do I price handmade items on Etsy?

Start with your full cost per item, including your time, then set the margin you want after fees. The target price line shows a price estimated to reach it under the stated assumptions. If that price is higher than buyers will pay, look at your costs and your shipping charge rather than accepting a thinner margin. Use the laser engraving calculator to work out your cost per item, then send it here with one click.

Fees this calculator does not include

Etsy Ads (onsite advertising), shipping labels bought through Etsy, the optional Etsy Plus subscription, currency conversion fees when you list in a different currency from your bank account, and regulatory operating fees in some countries. Fee rates outside the US also differ. All the rates are editable, so you can match your own payment account.
