Etsy fee calculator
An Etsy sale carries three fees before ads: $0.20 to list, 6.5% of the item and shipping, and 3% plus 25¢ on the whole order with the buyer's tax in it. Offsite Ads, when they apply, are the big one.

- The transaction fee is charged on shipping as well as the item, so a high shipping price is not a way around it.
- Payment processing includes the sales tax the buyer paid, even though you never keep that tax.
- Shops that pass $10,000 in a year are enrolled in Offsite Ads for good, at 12%.

On the same bowl, an Offsite Ads sale would add another $7.79. If ads bring most of your sales, price for it.
The calculator that remembers
One sum is a guess. A year of them is your books.
- Every sale, kept. Save a Etsy sale from the calculator and it becomes a row: what you paid, the fees, the label, what you kept.
- Every month, added up. This month's profit, this year's total and what's still sitting in stock, on one screen.
- Ready for tax time. With Ledger: cost of goods, mileage at the IRS rate and a year-end report for whoever does your taxes.

Questions sellers ask about Etsy fees
How much are Etsy's fees in total?
For a US seller with a US bank account: $0.20 to list, a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price, shipping and gift wrap, and payment processing of 3% + $0.25 on the full order including sales tax. Most sales lose about 10-11% to fees before any ads.
Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee includes the shipping you charge, and payment processing is on the whole order. Moving price into shipping doesn't lower your fees.
When do Offsite Ads apply?
When a buyer clicks one of Etsy's ads on another site and buys from you within 30 days. The fee is 15% of the order total, or 12% once your shop has made $10,000 in the past year, and it's capped at $100 per order.
Does Etsy charge the transaction fee on sales tax?
Not for US sales tax. Payment processing does include it.
