Etsy Fee Calculator: See What You Actually Keep From Every Order
The Etsy calculator that works out your profit, margin and break-even price for US, UK, Canadian and Australian shops, with every fee shown line by line. No account needed to use it.
Etsy fees take of what the buyer pays you. Break-even price:
Rates from Etsy's Fees & Payments Policy, last updated Oct 5, 2026. Your Etsy bill is final.
The problem
"Etsy takes 6.5%" is the number everyone quotes, and it's only one line. Add the listing fee, payment processing that changes with where your buyer lives, the regulatory fee in the UK and Canada, Offsite Ads on the orders they bring in, and the tax Etsy charges on its own fees, and the gap between what the buyer paid and what reaches your bank gets wide. A profit calculator that skips half of those tells you a product is working when it isn't.
What you get
Your profit on this order.
After every Etsy fee, your item cost and what you pay to ship it. Margin shown next to it, so you can compare products at a glance.
How much of the sale Etsy keeps.
Etsy's fees as a share of what the buyer pays you. Watch it climb when an order comes through Offsite Ads.
The lowest price that still works.
Your break-even price for the costs you entered. Price below it and every sale loses money, so you can see how much room you have before you run a sale.
The fees most calculators leave out.
Offsite Ads at 15% or 12% with the per-order cap, a listing currency that differs from your bank, gift wrap, Etsy Ads spend, VAT on your fees, and an Etsy Plus or Pattern subscription split across your monthly orders. Open More options only when you need them.
Why the numbers are real
Every rate comes from Etsy's own fee and payment pages, and every line in the breakdown says what it's charged on and links to the Etsy page it comes from, so you can check it yourself. Payment processing follows the country of your bank account and, where Etsy charges differently, where your buyer is.

FAQ
How much does Etsy take from a $25 sale?
For a US shop selling to a US buyer: a $25 item with $5 shipping and $2.40 sales tax collected by Etsy costs $3.37 in fees. That's the $0.20 listing fee, $1.95 transaction fee (6.5% of $30) and $1.22 payment processing (3% of the $32.40 the buyer paid, plus $0.25). With $8 in materials and $4.50 postage, you keep $14.13, a 47.1% margin. The etsy fee calculator above loads with this example so you can change it.
Does Etsy charge fees on shipping and sales tax?
The 6.5% transaction fee covers the item price, the shipping you charge and gift wrap. For US sellers it doesn't apply to sales tax. Payment processing is charged on the whole order, shipping and tax included.
Why does payment processing change with where my buyer lives?
Etsy sets the rate by the country of your bank account. US shops pay 3% + $0.25 and UK shops 4% + £0.20 on every order. Canadian shops pay 3% + CA$0.25 for buyers in Canada or the US and 4% + CA$0.25 for everyone else; Australian shops pay 3% + A$0.25 at home and 4% + A$0.25 abroad. Pick the buyer's location and the rate switches.
How is the Offsite Ads fee worked out?
It applies only to orders Etsy attributes to an Offsite Ad, so set the order source to Offsite Ads when that's how the sale came in. The fee is 15% of the order total, or 12% once your shop has made US$10,000 or more in a year, and never more than US$100 on a single order.
Does it include VAT on Etsy fees?
Yes. Etsy adds VAT to its fees in many countries, so the calculator fills in 20% for UK shops and 10% for Australian shops, and 0% for US and Canada. Change it to match your situation, for example 0% if Etsy doesn't charge you VAT because you've given it your VAT number. The breakdown shows how much of your total fees is VAT.
What if I list in a different currency from my bank account?
Etsy charges a 2.5% currency conversion fee on the sale. Tick the currency option and it's added. Enter today's rate for 1 USD in your currency so the US-dollar listing fee converts correctly.
How is this different from Etsy's own profit estimate?
Etsy shows an estimated profit in the listing form. Sellers who tested it when it launched pointed out that it uses the lowest payment processing rate and leaves out ads and the tax on your fees (Value Added Resource, March 2024). This page covers all three.
Do I need an account?
No. The calculator runs in your browser and works without signing up. An account gets you ListingSafe's listing checks and the rest of the tools.
