Calculate Etsy profit after transaction, payment processing, listing, Offsite Ads, regulatory, currency-conversion, shipping and advertising costs.
Editable planning assumptions. Verify current fees against your account, product and platform terms.
Etsy transaction fees also apply to shipping you charge the buyer.
Include materials or the finished product cost for one order.
Use 0%, 15%, or 12% when an order is attributed to Offsite Ads.
Use 2.5% when Etsy currency conversion applies.
Etsy order revenue is the item selling price plus shipping charged to the buyer. The calculator then subtracts product or materials cost, the Etsy transaction fee, payment processing, actual shipping or fulfillment, listing and fixed-payment charges, returns, optional Offsite Ads, regulatory or currency fees, paid advertising, and other costs you enter.
ROI uses the calculator’s capital cost base—product/materials cost plus listing and fixed payment inputs—rather than revenue. Because Etsy Payments, regulatory fees, taxes, and optional programs vary by location or seller status, editable assumptions are safer than one universal fee preset.
Order revenue is $35. Assume $8 materials, $4.50 fulfillment, the current 6.5% Etsy transaction fee, a US Etsy Payments example of 3% + $0.25, a $0.20 listing fee, a 3% return reserve, $5 Etsy Ads CPA, and $0.50 other cost. With Offsite Ads, regulatory fees, and currency conversion set to zero for this example, the modeled transaction fee is about $2.28 and percentage payment fee is $1.05. Total modeled cost is about $22.83, leaving about $12.18 profit and a 34.8% margin. Break-even ad CPA is about $17.18, which corresponds to a break-even ROAS of about 2.04×.
| Etsy fee | Current example |
|---|---|
| Listing fee | $0.20 per listing |
| Transaction fee | 6.5% of total order amount |
| Etsy Payments — US bank account | 3% + $0.25 per order |
| Currency conversion, when required | 2.5% |
For handmade or custom products, add labor or production overhead even when Etsy does not charge it as a platform fee. A product can show a positive marketplace margin and still underpay the seller for production time. Use the Other Etsy Cost field for a per-order labor allocation, packaging expense, or another cost that is not represented by the standard fee inputs.
Etsy fee references checked September 25, 2026. Payment processing varies by country. Verify Etsy fees and the payment-processing table for your bank-account country.
No. The transaction fee and payment-processing fee are separate charges. Etsy currently lists a 6.5% transaction fee, while Etsy Payments processing varies by the seller’s bank-account country.
The current Etsy Payments table lists 3% plus $0.25 per order for United States bank accounts. Keep the fields editable because other countries use different percentages and fixed fees.
It is order revenue divided by the maximum ad CPA the modeled order can absorb before profit reaches zero. It is a planning threshold, not a guarantee of profitable campaign performance.
No. Buyer-paid shipping increases order revenue, but the actual fulfillment or postage cost must also be entered. Etsy transaction and processing fees can also apply to amounts that include shipping.
The guide’s $23.45 fixed-dollar cost includes $9 labor. With a hypothetical 9.5% percentage charge and 20% target margin, the price needs to be at least $33.27. An extra 15-percentage-point ad charge raises the scenario price to $42.26.
Use current rates and fee bases for your account. The reverse-pricing shortcut only applies when the percentage charges share a base; count labor, fixed charges and shipping once.
