- Listing fee — $0.20: charged once per listing and renewed every 4 months or after each sale of a non-quantity listing.
- Transaction fee — 6.5%: applied to the full order total (item price + shipping + gift wrap), not just the item price.
- Payment processing — 3% + $0.25: charged on the order total. Rates vary by country; this calculator uses the US rate.
- Offsite Ads — 12% or 15%: only on sales that came from Etsy-run external ads. 15% for shops over $10K in trailing 365-day revenue.
- Sales tax / VAT:Etsy collects and remits this — it doesn't cost you anything but adjusts your gross.
FAQ
How much does Etsy take per sale?
Etsy charges three main fees on every US sale: a $0.20 listing fee (per listing, every 4 months), a 6.5% transaction fee on the order total including shipping, and a payment processing fee of 3% + $0.25 per transaction. Combined, that's typically 11-13% of the order plus the $0.45 in flat fees.
Are Etsy fees calculated on shipping too?
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee and the 3% + $0.25 payment processing fee both apply to the full order total — item price plus shipping plus any gift wrap. This is why charging high shipping doesn't help avoid fees.
What's the Offsite Ads fee?
Etsy may charge an additional 12% Offsite Ads fee on sales that come from external ads Etsy ran (Google, Facebook, etc.). This rate drops to 15% for shops over $10K in trailing 365-day revenue. You can opt out only if your shop is under that $10K threshold.
How much should I price my Etsy items?
A common rule for handmade: (cost of materials + your hourly rate × time) × 2 = wholesale, × 4 = retail. Then add roughly 15% on top to absorb Etsy fees and still hit your margin. Use this calculator to plug in different prices and see your real take-home before committing.
Does this calculator include international fees?
This calculator uses US-based fee rates. International sellers face slightly different processing fees and currency conversion costs. The 6.5% transaction fee and $0.20 listing fee are the same globally, but processing can range from ~3-4% + a flat fee depending on your country.
What is an Etsy fee calculator?
An Etsy fee calculator shows your real take-home after Etsy deducts its three main fees: a $0.20 listing fee per item, a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price plus shipping, and a payment processing fee that varies by country (about 3% + $0.25 in the US). Many sellers underprice because they only subtract the 6.5% transaction fee and forget the others — the combined effective rate on a typical $25 US listing is closer to 11–12%. Artlister's free Etsy fee calculator updates as you type, so you can test pricing before you list. Enter item price, shipping, and any ad spend, and you'll see the exact dollar amount Etsy keeps and what hits your bank. Free, no signup.
