What fees does Etsy charge sellers?

Etsy charges: (1) $0.20 listing fee per item (every 4 months or when sold); (2) 6.5% transaction fee on the total sale price including shipping; (3) 3% + $0.25 payment processing fee via Etsy Payments; (4) Offsite Ads fee (12–15%) if a buyer clicks through an Etsy ad.

What is the Etsy Offsite Ads fee?

Etsy promotes listings on Google, Facebook, and Instagram. If a sale results from an offsite ad click, Etsy charges an additional fee: 12% for sellers with under $10K/year in sales, 15% for sellers above that threshold (mandatory for high-volume sellers).

Is Etsy Plus worth it?

Etsy Plus costs $10/month and includes 15 listing credits ($3 value), $5 in Etsy Ads credits, and shop customization features. If you regularly list 15+ items per month, the listing credits alone cover most of the cost.

Does Etsy charge a fee on shipping?

Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee applies to the total amount charged to the buyer including shipping. So if you charge $25 + $5 shipping, the transaction fee is on $30, not just $25.

How to Use This Calculator

Enter your item price, shipping charged, actual shipping cost, and production cost.
Listing, transaction, and processing fees are calculated automatically.
Use the Promoted Listing tab to see impact of Offsite Ads fees.
The Professional tab calculates monthly and annual profit across your full sales volume.

Formula

Total Fees = $0.20 + (Price + Shipping) × 6.5% + (Price + Shipping) × 3% + $0.25

Net Profit = Item Price − Production Cost − Total Fees − Actual Shipping Cost

Example

$25 item, $5 shipping, $8 cost, $4.50 actual ship: Total sale $30, fees ≈ $3.10, net profit ≈ $8.90.
