How to use the Etsy fee calculator
Selling on Etsy means sharing each sale with Etsy itself, so the price a buyer pays is never quite the amount that lands in your account. This Etsy fee calculator shows you exactly where the money goes, before you list. It works out the listing fee, the transaction fee, the payment processing fee and, if it applies, the Offsite Ads fee — then tells you what you actually keep from each sale.
Step 1: Type in your item price. This is the price the buyer pays for the item itself, before shipping.
Step 2: Add the shipping you charge the buyer. If you offer free shipping, leave this at $0. Etsy charges its transaction and payment processing fees on the sale total, which is the item price plus the shipping charged to the buyer, so this number matters.
Step 3: Tick the Offsite Ads box only if this sale came through an Etsy Offsite Ad, and pick the rate that matches your shop — 15% if your shop earned under $10,000 in the last 12 months, or 12% if it earned $10,000 or more. The results update as you type, and the calculator shows the working underneath so you can check every figure.
Worked example: a $50 item with $5 shipping
Say you sell a handmade mug for $50 and charge the buyer $5 for shipping, with no Offsite Ads. The sale total is $55. The listing fee is a flat $0.20. The transaction fee is 6.5% of the $55 sale total, which is $3.58. The payment processing fee is 3% of $55 plus $0.25, which is $1.90. Add them up and the total fees come to $5.68. Take that away from the $55 sale total and you keep $49.32. That is the number to compare against what the mug cost you to make and post — not the $50 on the price tag.
What each Etsy fee is
Listing fee
The listing fee is $0.20 per listing, charged when you list an item or renew a listing, whether or not the item sells.
Transaction fee
The transaction fee is 6.5% of the sale total, which is the item price plus the shipping charged to the buyer.
Payment processing fee
The payment processing fee is what Etsy charges for handling the buyer's payment. For sellers in the United States it is 3% of the sale total plus $0.25 per transaction. Rates differ by country, so sellers outside the United States should check Etsy's fee page for their local rate.
Offsite Ads fee
The Offsite Ads fee applies only when a sale comes through an Etsy Offsite Ad, which is an ad Etsy places for your listing on other sites. The fee is 12% of the sale total if your shop earned $10,000 or more in the last 12 months, and 15% if it earned less than that. If a sale did not come through an Offsite Ad, there is no Offsite Ads fee at all.
How to price with fees in mind
The simplest way to use this calculator is to work backwards. Decide what you need to keep from a sale after the cost of materials, your time and postage, then try different prices until the "you keep" figure covers it. Remember that raising the shipping you charge does not dodge the fees, because the transaction and payment processing fees are charged on the sale total including shipping. And if you offer free shipping, the postage still comes out of your pocket — it just moves from the buyer's side of the sum to yours. Checking the numbers before you list takes a minute and stops a price that looked profitable from quietly losing money.
Frequently asked questions
What fees does Etsy charge?
Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee per listing, a 6.5% transaction fee on the sale total, and a payment processing fee — 3% plus $0.25 per transaction for sellers in the United States. If a sale comes through an Etsy Offsite Ad, there is also an Offsite Ads fee of 12% or 15% of the sale total, depending on how much your shop earned in the last 12 months.
Is the listing fee charged per item?
Yes. The listing fee is $0.20 for each listing you create or renew, and it is charged whether or not the item sells. A listing for a single item costs $0.20, and renewing it after it sells or expires costs another $0.20.
What are Offsite Ads fees?
Offsite Ads are ads Etsy runs for your listings on other websites and search engines. When one of those ads leads to a sale, Etsy charges an extra fee on that sale: 12% of the sale total if your shop earned $10,000 or more in the last 12 months, or 15% if it earned less. Sales that do not come through an Offsite Ad have no Offsite Ads fee.
Do Etsy fees change?
Yes. Etsy changes its fees from time to time, so always check Etsy's current fee page before you set or change your prices. This calculator uses Etsy's published fees as of late 2026.
What if I offer free shipping?
With free shipping, the shipping charged to the buyer is $0, so the sale total is just the item price — and the transaction and payment processing fees are worked out on that amount. You still pay the $0.20 listing fee, and the postage you pay to send the item comes out of what you keep, so make sure your price covers it.
Disclaimer: These are fee estimates only, based on Etsy's published fees as of late 2026. Fees can change, and payment processing rates differ by country, so always verify the current fees with Etsy before you set your prices.
