Quick answer
The Etsy Profit Calculator shows what you keep after Etsy's listing, transaction, processing, and Offsite Ads fees, for sellers in 7 countries. How it works: Order total = item price + shipping you charge; Etsy fees = listing fee + 6.5% × order + (processing % × order + fixed fee) + regulatory fee + Offsite Ads. For example, with selling from set to United States (USD), item price of $35, and shipping you charge of $6, the net profit per order is $22.41.

How it's calculated
- Order total = item price + shipping you charge
- Etsy fees = listing fee + 6.5% × order + (processing % × order + fixed fee) + regulatory fee + Offsite Ads
- Net profit = order total − Etsy fees − your costs
- Margin = net profit ÷ order total
Worked example

Net profit per order: $22.41. Margin: 54.6%.
Etsy Profit questions
How much does Etsy take per sale?
In the US, Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price plus shipping, and payment processing of 3% + $0.25. On a $35 item with $6 shipping, that is about $4.35 before any Offsite Ads fee.
Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee and payment processing both apply to the shipping you charge the buyer, not only to the item price.
What is the Etsy Offsite Ads fee?
When a sale comes from an Etsy ad on another site, Etsy charges 15% of the order total, or 12% for shops with $10,000 or more in yearly sales, capped at $100 per order. Shops under $10,000 a year can opt out.
Why are my Etsy processing fees different from the US rate?
Etsy sets processing fees by the country of your bank account. UK shops, for example, pay 4% + £0.20, and most EU shops pay 4% + €0.30. Choose your country in the calculator to use your rate.
What profit margin should an Etsy shop aim for?
Many handmade sellers aim to keep at least 25% to 35% of the order total as profit after every fee, materials and shipping, so there is room for ads, returns and your time. Use the profit margin result to check each listing.
Why doesn't my Etsy statement match the calculator exactly?
Currency conversion, refunds, sales tax handling and promotions can change the final amount. The calculator is an estimate based on Etsy's published fees; your payment account shows the exact charges.
