How It Works
Etsy Profit Formula
Net Profit = Total Revenue − Etsy Fees − Cost of Goods − Shipping − AdsTotal revenue is calculated from product sales and shipping charged. Etsy fees include the listing fee, transaction fee, payment processing fee, and optional offsite ads fee. Net profit is what remains after subtracting all fees, cost of goods, actual shipping costs, and any advertising spend.
Listing fee: Etsy charges $0.20 for each item listed. When an item sells, the listing is renewed automatically, so each sale incurs a $0.20 fee.
Transaction fee: Etsy takes 6.5% of the total order amount, which includes the item price and any shipping charged to the buyer.
Payment processing fee: Etsy Payments charges 3% of the total order amount plus a flat $0.25 per transaction.
Offsite ads fee: If your sale comes through Etsy's offsite advertising (Google, Facebook, etc.), Etsy charges 15% of the item price. Sellers with over $10,000 in annual revenue cannot opt out of offsite ads.
Cost of goods includes materials, labor, and packaging per item. Shipping cost is what you actually pay carriers, which may differ from what you charge buyers.
Important Notes:
- •This calculator uses the 2024-2025 Etsy fee structure. Etsy may update fees at any time, so verify current rates on Etsy's seller handbook.
- •The listing fee of $0.20 applies per item sold. Multi-quantity listings use one listing fee per unit.
- •Payment processing rates vary by country. This calculator uses the US rate of 3% + $0.25.
- •Offsite ads fees apply only to sales attributed to Etsy's external advertising and are calculated on the item price, not including shipping.
- •This calculator does not account for Etsy Plus subscription fees, pattern fees, or currency conversion fees for international sales.
Worked Example
A handmade jewelry seller lists items at $25 each and sells 50 units in a month. They charge $5 shipping per item but pay $4 in actual shipping costs. Each item costs $8 to make. They do not use Etsy Ads or offsite ads.
Inputs:
- product Price:25
- quantity:50
- shipping Charged:5
- cost Of Goods:8
- shipping Cost:4
- etsy Ads Spend:0
- include Offsite Ads Fee:false
Result:
Total revenue is $1,500 (product sales $1,250 + shipping $250). Etsy fees total approximately $165 ($10 listing fees + $97.50 transaction fees + $57.50 payment processing). After subtracting $400 in cost of goods and $200 in shipping costs, net profit is approximately $735 with a profit margin of about 49%.
