Etsy Fee Calculator
The Etsy fee calculator adds up every charge on a sale – the listing fee, the 6.5% transaction fee, payment processing and, if the order came from an ad, the Offsite Ads fee – and subtracts them together with your item cost and shipping to show what you actually earn. Edit any rate if Etsy has changed it for your shop.
Etsy fees at a glance
| Fee | Rate (US shops, mid 2026) |
|---|---|
| Listing fee | $0.20 per listing, again each time it sells or renews |
| Transaction fee | 6.5% of item price plus shipping and gift wrap |
| Payment processing | 3% + $0.25 of the order total |
| Offsite Ads | 15% of the order (12% over $10,000 a year), capped at $100, only when an ad led to the sale |
| Currency conversion | 2.5% when the sale currency differs from your payout currency |
How the profit is worked out
The transaction fee is charged on the item price plus the shipping you charge the buyer. Payment processing is charged on the total the buyer pays, and the fixed 25 cents is per order. Offsite Ads is a percentage of the order total. Profit = money received − all fees − item cost − the shipping you pay.
Where sellers lose money
- Forgetting that shipping is charged a transaction fee too.
- Free shipping offers: the cost moves into your item price and still attracts fees.
- Offsite Ads on low-margin products, where 15% can wipe out profit.
Questions people ask
Is the listing fee charged on every sale?
Yes, selling an item renews the listing, which costs another $0.20 for that listing.
Can I opt out of Offsite Ads?
Shops under $10,000 in annual sales can usually opt out. Above that it is required.
Are sales taxes included in the fees?
Etsy excludes sales tax from the transaction fee. This calculator ignores tax.
