These default to typical US rates. Edit any field to match the exact fees in your Etsy account.
These are typical US Etsy fees and they change over time, so confirm the current rates in your Etsy account. Every fee field above is editable. The offsite ads fee applies only on sales that come from Etsy's offsite ads, which become mandatory once your shop passes a sales threshold.

Your Etsy profit is what is left after Etsy takes its cut and you cover your own costs. Total revenue is the item price plus the shipping you charge the buyer. From that, Etsy subtracts a listing fee, a transaction fee, payment processing and, on some orders, an offsite ads fee. Subtract your product cost and shipping cost too, and the remainder is your real profit. The calculator above runs this math live from your own numbers.
Etsy bundles several fees into every sale, and they stack up faster than most sellers expect. The four to watch are:
Rates change and differ by country, so always confirm the current figures in your own Etsy account rather than trusting any single source.
The order of operations matters. Start with revenue, which is item price plus the shipping you collect. Add up every Etsy fee that applies to the order. Subtract those fees from revenue, then subtract what the item actually cost you to make and what shipping actually cost you to send. The number you are left with is profit, not the headline price you set. A $25 item with $5 shipping might look like a $30 sale, but after fees and an $8 product cost and $4 shipping cost, the real take-home is far smaller. Running the numbers before you list keeps you from selling at a loss without realizing it.
The fix is to build the fees into your price from the start, not to discover them afterward. Total your product cost, shipping cost and the profit you want, then divide by one minus your combined fee rate written as a decimal. If fees come to about 10 percent of revenue, divide your cost-plus-target by 0.9 to get a price that clears your target after Etsy takes its share. In practice, the fastest method is to test prices in the calculator until your profit margin sits comfortably above your total fee percentage. Aim for a margin that survives a price drop or a promotion, because thin margins disappear the moment you discount.
