Sales tax / VAT that Etsy collects from buyers is not part of these numbers. Etsy Ads (onsite) is a separate budget, not a per-order fee.

How to use this calculator

  1. Pick your shop country. This fills in the payment processing rate and fixed fee (you can change them under Fee rates).
  2. Type the item price, quantity, the shipping you charged and any discount.
  3. Choose whether this order came through Offsite Ads. Your Payment account shows an Offsite Ads fee line on those orders.
  4. Add your cost per item and the shipping label you bought. The result shows net profit, margin and every fee line.
  5. Set a target margin to see the item price that would hit it with the same costs and fees.

How the math works

Etsy charges several fees on one order. The calculator uses the same formula as our profit tracker:

order total = item price x quantity + shipping - discount Etsy fees = 0.20 x quantity (listing renewal for each item sold) + 6.5% x order total (transaction fee) + processing % x order total + fixed fee (Etsy Payments) + other % x order total (regulatory / VAT on fees, if any) + MIN(Offsite Ads % x order total, cap) (only on Offsite Ads orders) net profit = order total - Etsy fees - item costs - shipping label

The listing fee is charged again each time an item sells (it auto-renews), so a 3-item order pays 0.60, not 0.20. Offsite Ads are 15% of the order, or 12% if your shop sold more than 10,000 in the past 12 months, and capped per order (100 in USD). Rates differ by country, so every rate is editable.

Worked example

An order for one item at 24.00 with 5.00 shipping, through Offsite Ads (15%), from a US shop. The item costs 6.00 to make and the label costs 4.20.

  • Order total: 24.00 + 5.00 = 29.00
  • Listing renewal: 0.20
  • Transaction fee 6.5% x 29.00 = 1.89
  • Processing 3% x 29.00 + 0.25 = 1.12
  • Offsite Ads 15% x 29.00 = 4.35
  • Total fees: 7.56 (26.1% of the order)
  • Net profit: 29.00 - 7.56 - 6.00 - 4.20 = 11.25, a 38.8% margin

Without Offsite Ads the same order makes 15.60 (53.8%). To keep a 35% margin on Offsite Ads orders, the item would need to be priced at about 21.30.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Etsy take per sale?

For a US shop: 0.20 per item sold (listing renewal), 6.5% of the order total including shipping, and 3% + 0.25 payment processing. On an Offsite Ads order add 15% (or 12%), capped per order. On a typical 25-30 order that is roughly 10-13% without Offsite Ads and 25% or more with them.

Is the Etsy transaction fee charged on shipping?

Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee applies to the item price plus the shipping and gift wrap you charge, so the calculator applies it to the full order total.

Why is the 0.20 listing fee charged on every item?

When an item sells, Etsy automatically renews the listing for each unit sold and charges the listing fee again. A buyer purchasing three of the same item means three renewals.

What are the payment processing fees outside the US?

They vary by country (for example 4% + 0.20 in the UK and 4% + 0.30 in most eurozone countries at the time of writing). Pick your country to pre-fill them, and check Etsy's current fee page; every rate here can be edited.

Do I have to pay the Offsite Ads fee?

Only on orders that came from an Offsite Ad click. Shops under 10,000 in yearly sales can opt out; larger shops are enrolled at 12%. The fee is capped per order.

Does this include sales tax or VAT?

No. Tax that Etsy collects from buyers and remits for you is not your revenue, so leave it out. If you pay VAT on Etsy's fees, add that rate under Other % fees.

Not tax advice. This calculator gives estimates for planning and record keeping only. It is not tax, legal, accounting or financial advice. Fee rates and tax rules change; check the official source (Etsy's fee page, IRS.gov, your state or your contract) or ask a qualified professional before acting on the numbers.
