Etsy fees

Etsy Fee Calculator

Etsy's three separate fees added up honestly, and the effective percentage they really take.

Etsy fees = 6.5% transaction fee + 3% + $0.25 payment processing + $0.20 listing fee. Both percentage fees apply to the item price plus shipping. Sell a $35 item with $5 shipping: the transaction fee is $2.60, payment processing adds $1.45, and the listing fee $0.20, so $4.25 total on a $40 order, so you keep $35.75 and the effective rate is 10.6%, well above the 6.5% most sellers quote. Cross-listing handmade goods? The eBay fee calculator runs the same all-in math on its 13.6% final value fee, and what survives the fees goes through the profit margin calculator. Enter your numbers to see the full stack.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my effective Etsy fee higher than 6.5%?

Because 6.5% is only the transaction fee. Etsy Payments adds 3% plus $0.25 per order, the listing fee adds $0.20, and both percentage fees apply to price plus shipping. Stacked together, a typical order loses 10–12% to Etsy, and small orders lose more, because the $0.45 of fixed fees is a bigger share of a small total.

Does Etsy charge fees on the shipping I collect?

Yes. Both the 6.5% transaction fee and the 3% payment processing fee are calculated on the full order total, including shipping and gift wrap. Charging $10 shipping instead of $5 adds about $0.95 of fees. Sellers who "make it up on shipping" are sharing that markup with Etsy. Build real shipping cost into your item price instead.

What about Offsite Ads fees?

This calculator covers the fees every order pays. If a sale comes from an Offsite Ad, Etsy adds 15% (12% for shops over $10k in trailing-12-month sales) on top, and participation is mandatory above that threshold. Add 15 points to the transaction fee field to stress-test whether a product survives an Offsite Ads order profitably.

Has Etsy raised its fees before?

Yes. Etsy raised the transaction fee from 5% to 6.5% in 2022, and payment processing rates vary by country ($0.25 + 3% is the US rate). All four fee fields here are editable so the math stays correct when rates move. Verify the current schedule in Etsy's Help Center before setting prices for a new shop or a big restock.
