About Etsy Fee Estimate
Etsy charges a transaction fee on the item price plus shipping, a separate payment processing fee with a fixed component, and a listing fee per item. Stacking all three against materials cost is the only way to see whether a handmade item is priced to actually pay for the time that went into it.
Formulas
Total fees
Fees = 0.20 listing + (price + shipping) x transaction rate + (price + shipping) x payment rate + fixed payment fee
Take-home
Profit = price + shipping - total fees - materials

Assumptions and limits
- The result is derived only from the 6 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
- In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax or compounding frequency into account.
- Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
- Etsy fee rates differ by seller country and change periodically, and offsite ads fees can add substantially on qualifying sales. Confirm against your current Etsy fee schedule.
