Start free →This Etsy fee calculator applies the fees Etsy charges on a standard US sale. Here is what each one is and what it is charged on:
| Fee | Amount | Charged on |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | $0.20 | Each listing, and again each time a multi-quantity listing sells and renews |
| Transaction fee | 6.5% | Item price + shipping charged to the buyer |
| Payment processing | 3% + $0.25 | Order total (US Etsy Payments rate) |
| Offsite Ads (if the sale came from one) | 15% or 12% | Order total, capped at $100 per order |
For a typical US order without Offsite Ads, Etsy's fees come to roughly 10–11% of the order total plus a few cents. Two examples:
| Order | Transaction | Payment | Listing | Total fees | You receive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $30, free shipping | $1.95 | $1.15 | $0.20 | $3.30 (11.0%) | $26.70 |
| $30 + $6 shipping | $2.34 | $1.33 | $0.20 | $3.87 (10.8%) | $32.13 |
“You receive” is before your own costs. In the second example the $6 you collected for shipping also has to pay for the label, and materials and labor come out of the rest. To see what is left after those, use the Etsy profit calculator.
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee and the payment processing fee are both charged on the order total, which includes the shipping the buyer pays. Charging $5 for shipping costs you about $0.48 in extra fees. Many sellers offer free shipping and build the label cost into the item price instead; the fees are about the same either way, but the price the buyer sees is simpler.
Etsy advertises some listings on sites such as Google, Facebook and Pinterest. If a buyer clicks one of those ads and buys from your shop within 30 days, Etsy charges an Offsite Ads fee on that order: 15%, or 12% if your shop made $10,000 or more in sales over the past 12 months. The fee is capped at $100 per order. Shops under the $10,000 threshold can opt out of Offsite Ads; above it, taking part is required. Tick “Sale came via Offsite Ads” in the calculator to include it.
Check your Etsy payment account for the exact fees on your orders. Etsy changes fees from time to time, so compare the rates above with Etsy's fee page if a number looks different.
Fees are a percentage of the price, so they grow as your price grows. Instead of adding fees on top of your costs by hand, the Etsy price calculator works backwards from your costs and target margin to the price that covers both.
For a typical US sale Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on the order total including shipping, and a payment processing fee of 3% + $0.25. If the sale came through Offsite Ads, a further 15% (or 12% for sellers with $10,000+ in yearly sales) applies, capped at $100 per order.
With no shipping charged and no Offsite Ads, Etsy takes about $3.30 from a $30 sale: $1.95 transaction fee, $1.15 payment processing and $0.20 listing fee. You keep about $26.70 before your own costs.
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee and the payment processing fee are both charged on the full order total, including the shipping the buyer pays. You still pay the carrier for the shipping label separately.
When a buyer clicks an Etsy ad on another site, such as Google or Pinterest, and buys within 30 days, Etsy charges an Offsite Ads fee of 15% of the order total, or 12% for sellers with $10,000 or more in sales over the past 12 months. The fee is capped at $100 per order.
Yes. Payment processing rates differ outside the US, some countries add a regulatory operating fee, and Etsy charges a currency conversion fee when your listing currency differs from your payment account currency. Shipping labels, Etsy Ads and optional subscriptions are also separate.
