Etsy Fee & Profit Calculator (US)

Estimate the charges on one completed Etsy Payments order and what remains after your included costs.

Item subtotal (USD)

Positive total after discounts, including personalization; exclude shipping, gift wrap and tax.

Shipping charged to buyer (USD)

Buyer-paid shipping, even if your postage costs a different amount.

Gift wrap charged to buyer (USD)

Separate gift-wrap charge; zero if none.

Buyer sales tax (USD)

Entered tax amount affects processing fees only; it is not seller revenue.

Product cost (USD)

Cost of the items in this order.

Actual postage cost (USD)

Your shipping-label/postage cost; not the shipping charged to the buyer.

Other order costs (USD)

Packaging, allocated labor, known fee taxes or ad costs you want included; avoid double counting.

Listing charges allocated to this order

Whole number 0–10,000. Use 0 for no allocation/credits; enter publication/renewal charges you intend to allocate.

Offsite Ads for this order

Use the tier shown in your Etsy account. One order cannot establish your shop's lifetime qualification.

US seller and US bank account, Etsy Payments, USD. Use up to two decimal places without commas or currency symbols, at most $1 billion per money input. This estimates selected fees, not every charge or bank payout.

How the fee bases work

Seller revenue is the discounted item subtotal, including personalization, plus buyer-paid shipping and gift wrap. Enter buyer sales tax separately: it is not seller revenue.

Modeled fees for a US bank account and USD order
Component	Estimate
Allocated listing fees	$0.20 × allocated listing charges
Transaction	6.5% × seller revenue; excludes buyer tax
Etsy Payments	3% × (seller revenue + buyer tax) + $0.25
Offsite Ads	None, or 15% / 12% × seller revenue; capped at $100.00 per attributed order

Proceeds = seller revenue − modeled fees. Contribution profit = proceeds − product, postage and other entered costs. Contribution margin = that profit ÷ seller revenue × 100.

Worked example

An illustrative $50 item with $5 buyer-paid shipping, no tax, gift wrap or Offsite fee, and one allocated listing charge produces $5.68 in modeled fees. After $20 product cost, $4 postage and $1 other cost, estimated contribution profit is $24.32.

For the tax, postage and ad-tier differences, read Etsy US fees: from order total to contribution profit.

Choose allocation and ad status carefully

Listing fees are charged on publication or renewal, rather than automatically becoming a new checkout fee. Allocate the charges you want this order to cover; use zero when none apply. Offsite Ads should be selected only for an attributed order, using your actual account's tier. Shop qualification can persist after sales fall below the threshold.

Rounding, losses and exclusions

Percentage fees are estimated separately to the nearest cent, with half cents rounded up. Etsy's exact rounding may differ. Low-price orders or high costs can produce a loss; negative results are shown.

This tool does not automatically include setup/subscription charges, Etsy Ads, fee taxes, credits, Share & Save, refunds, conversion or overhead. Include known allocated costs in “Other order costs” without counting a fee twice. It does not compute buyer tax, predict deposit timing or describe your business's net income. Non-US or non-USD orders need a different model.

For a general revenue/cost comparison, use the Profit Margin Calculator. Its cost scope is entered manually; it does not add Etsy fees.
