Etsy Profit Calculator

Etsy fees, explained simply (US)

• $0.20 listing fee per item
• 6.5% transaction fee on the total sale (item + shipping)
• 3% + $0.25 payment processing
• 12–15% offsite ads fee only if the sale came through Etsy's ads

The mistake most new sellers make: pricing from costs alone and forgetting fees eat ~10–12% of every sale. A $29 sale doesn't mean $29 in your pocket — run the numbers above before you list.

Rule of thumb: aim for at least 30–40% profit margin after all fees and costs. That leaves room for sales, ads, and the occasional return without panic.
