Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Etsy take per sale?
Etsy takes approximately 10-12% per sale in standard fees: $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee, and 3% + $0.25 payment processing. If you use Etsy Ads or Offsite Ads, fees can reach 20-25% or more.
What is Etsy's offsite ads fee?
Offsite Ads is Etsy's program where they advertise your products on Google, Facebook, Instagram, and other platforms. You're charged 12% (or 15% for shops earning $10k+/year) only when a sale results from these ads. Shops under $10k can opt out.
How do I price items on Etsy to make a profit?
A good formula: (Item Cost + Shipping Cost + Desired Profit) / (1 - Fee Rate). For example, if your costs are $10 and you want $15 profit with 12% fees: ($10 + $15) / 0.88 = $28.41. Always account for all Etsy fees in your pricing.
Are Etsy fees worth it?
Etsy provides access to millions of buyers actively searching for handmade and vintage items. While fees are higher than self-hosted stores, the built-in traffic and trust often make it worthwhile, especially for new sellers. Many successful sellers use both Etsy and their own website.
How to Use the Etsy Fee Calculator
Etsy fees are layered and can be confusing. This calculator breaks down every fee that applies to a sale so you can see your true profit per item and price your products accordingly.
Quick Mode
Enter your item price and your cost to make or source the product. The calculator applies Etsy's standard fees — the $0.20 listing fee, 6.5 percent transaction fee, and payment processing (3 percent plus $0.25) — to show your net profit and effective fee percentage. This is the fastest way to check whether a product is worth listing at a given price.
Advanced Mode
Switch to Advanced to account for shipping costs, Etsy Ads spend, and Offsite Ads fees. Offsite Ads deserve special attention: Etsy charges 12 percent (or 15 percent for shops earning over $10,000 per year) on any sale that results from their off-platform advertising. Shops earning under $10,000 annually can opt out, but larger shops cannot. This single fee can turn a profitable item into a break-even proposition if you have not priced for it.
How Fees Stack Up on a Real Order
Consider a $30 item that costs you $8 to produce. The listing fee is $0.20. The transaction fee is $1.95 (6.5 percent of $30). Payment processing is $1.15 (3 percent plus $0.25). That totals $3.30 in fees before any advertising, leaving you $18.70 in gross profit. If the sale came through Offsite Ads, add another $3.60 (12 percent), dropping your profit to $15.10. Knowing these numbers upfront prevents unpleasant surprises.
Pricing Strategy
Work backward from your desired profit. Add your production cost, shipping cost, and target profit, then divide by one minus your total fee rate. For example, if you want $15 profit on an $8 item with 12 percent total fees: ($8 plus $15) divided by 0.88 equals $26.14 minimum price. Round up to account for Offsite Ads if you cannot opt out. Revisit your pricing quarterly as costs and fee structures change.
