Etsy Fee Calculator

Every fee on one item, line by line.

Etsy charges 12–15% when a sale comes from offsite ads.

Fees run about 10–12% before offsite ads

A $29 sale does not put $29 in your pocket. Between the $0.20 listing fee, the 6.5% transaction fee, and 3% + $0.25 for processing, roughly a tenth of every sale goes to Etsy — before offsite ads take their 12–15% cut on the sales they drive.

New sellers most often forget the transaction fee applies and price from costs alone. Run every planned listing through this calculator before you publish the price — it takes ten seconds and saves margin-killing surprises.

Quick answers

When is the offsite ads fee actually charged?

Only when a buyer clicks an Etsy offsite ad and purchases from your shop within 30 days. Regular sales — search, direct, social — never trigger it.

Is the $0.20 listing fee per sale or per listing?

Per listing quantity sold (it renews the listing). Sell 3 of an item and you pay $0.20 × 3. Auto-renew listings also charge $0.20 each renewal cycle.

Is the transaction fee charged on shipping too?

Yes — 6.5% applies to the item price plus what you charge for shipping. This calculator uses item price only; add shipping into the price field if you charge for it.

Do Etsy fees change often?

The 6.5% transaction fee was Etsy's big 2022 change and has held since. Always verify current fees on Etsy's site before final pricing — this calculator uses the standard US structure.
