Pricing Calculator: avoid losses
Calculate true Etsy fees and price for actual profit, not phantom margin.
Etsy charges 6+ different fees per sale. Most sellers see their margin shrink at year-end and don't know why. The Pricing Calculator shows true profit per sale before you list.
Fees Etsy charges
- Listing fee: $0.20 per listing (auto-renews every 4 months)
- Transaction fee: 6.5% of item price
- Payment processing: 3% + $0.25 (US; varies by country)
- Offsite Ads fee: 12-15% if buyer came from Etsy's ads (only on those sales)
- Regulatory fee: 0.25-1.1% in some countries (UK, EU)
- Currency conversion: 2.5% if buyer pays in different currency
How to use the calculator
Enter your item price
What you plan to charge buyers.
Enter your cost of goods
Materials + your hourly rate × time + packaging.
Select your target margin
30-40% is healthy for handmade. Below 20% and you're working for Etsy, not yourself.
Review the breakdown
See exact fee amounts, your take-home, and the price Etsy needs to charge to hit your margin.
Heads up
Sellers commonly forget the Etsy Ads 12-15% fee. If you run any ads, factor it in — it can wipe out a healthy margin overnight.
