Etsy Fee Calculator

Computes Etsy's fees and net proceeds for a US sale using the published fee schedule (as of 2026-09: $0.20 listing fee, 6.5 % transaction fee on item price plus shipping, 3 % + $0.25 Etsy Payments processing fee on the total, optional 12–15 % Offsite Ads fee); every rate can be overridden.

When to use

You sell on Etsy.com from a US bank account and need the fees, net proceeds or effective fee rate for a listing price and shipping charge.

Do not use when: Your shop is outside the US (payment processing rates and regulatory operating fees differ by country; override the processing inputs), or you need eBay (ebay-fee), PayPal (paypal-fee) or Stripe (stripe-fee) fees.

Formula

total = item_price + shipping_charged; transaction = total × 6.5 %; processing = total × 3 % + 0.25; total_fees = transaction + processing + listing_fee + total × offsite_ads_fee_percent/100; net = total − total_fees

Fee schedule as of 2026-09 for US sellers; Etsy also applies the processing fee to sales tax it collects and charges regulatory operating fees in some countries, neither of which is modelled here.
