Marketplace fees are charged on the full amount the buyer pays, including the shipping they are charged — that is why a cheap item with expensive postage keeps so little. Total fees are the listing fee per item, plus the transaction percentage on the order value, plus payment processing (a percentage and a fixed amount), plus the Offsite Ads percentage when the sale came from an ad. Break-even solves (price × qty + shipping) × (1 − variable rates) = fixed fees + your costs. The rates shown are editable defaults, not live pricing: Etsy’s fees differ by country and currency, payment processing varies by bank, VAT or sales tax on fees is not included, and the Offsite Ads rate depends on your annual sales. Confirm against your own Etsy payment account. Nothing you type is uploaded.

About the Etsy Fee Calculator
Marketplace fees are charged on the whole amount the buyer pays, shipping included, which is why a cheap item with expensive postage keeps so little. This calculator adds up every fee line — listing fee per item, transaction percentage, payment processing as a percentage plus a fixed amount, and the offsite ads cut when a sale came from an ad — and shows what is actually left.
Then it goes further than a fee total. Enter your cost of goods and your real shipping cost and it returns net profit, profit margin, fees as a share of revenue, and the break-even item price: the lowest you could sell at and still come out even after everything.
Every rate is an editable input rather than a hardcoded constant, because marketplace pricing changes over time and varies by country, currency and seller volume. Nothing here is fetched from Etsy and no live pricing is stored. The whole calculation runs inside your browser, so your costs, prices and margins are never uploaded to a server or kept after you close the page.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Etsy take per sale?
Sellers typically pay a small listing fee per item, a transaction percentage on the order total, and payment processing as a percentage plus a fixed amount — with an extra offsite ads cut on ad-driven sales. On a 50 item with 5 shipping that commonly works out around 5 to 6 in total fees.
Are Etsy fees charged on shipping?
Yes. The transaction fee and payment processing apply to the full amount the buyer pays, including the shipping they are charged. That is why charging high postage rather than building it into the item price rarely helps your net.
How do I work out my break-even price on Etsy?
Solve for the price where revenue after the variable fee percentages equals your fixed fees plus your costs. The calculator does it for you, taking the listing fee, the fixed processing charge, cost of goods and your shipping cost into account.
What is the Offsite Ads fee?
It is a percentage of the order value charged only when a buyer reaches your listing through an ad the marketplace paid for. The rate depends on your annual sales, and participation is mandatory above a sales threshold — tick the box here to see what an ad-driven sale really nets.
Are the fee rates in this calculator up to date?
They are editable defaults, not live pricing. Fees differ by country and currency, payment processing varies, and taxes on fees are not modelled here. Check your own Etsy payment account and update the rates above before relying on the numbers.
