Every Etsy fee on its own line
The transaction fee, payment processing, the $0.20 listing fee, the regulatory operating fee, Offsite Ads and currency conversion each get a line, so you see where every dollar of a sale goes. For one sale taken apart step by step, read what one Etsy sale costs you.
Rates for your payment country
Payment processing and the regulatory fee depend on the country of your payment account. Pick yours and the rates follow; the full table of Etsy fees by country covers every country Etsy supports.
Offsite Ads, counted when they apply
If a sale came from an Offsite Ad, the 15% or 12% fee comes off too, capped at $100 per order. When you can switch Offsite Ads off is explained in our Offsite Ads fees guide.

Which fees does Etsy take from a sale?

- Item price + the shipping the buyer paysThe same in every country.
Transaction fee
6.5% - The full order total including tax + a fixed feeSet by the country of your bank account; see the table below.
Payment processing
by country - Once per orderCharged when a sale automatically renews the listing.
Listing fee
$0.20 - Item price + shippingOnly in some countries: Türkiye 1.67%, France 1.14%, United Kingdom 0.48%.
Regulatory operating fee
by country - Item price + shippingOnly on orders that come from Etsy's offsite ads. Never more than $100 per order.

| Türkiye | 6.5% + TRY 14.00 | 1.67% |

Worked example: a leather wallet
A seller with a US payment account. Sale price $48.00, shipping paid by the buyer $6.00; the wallet costs $14.00 to make and shipping costs $6.00.
- Transaction fee: $54.00 × 6.5% = $3.51
- Payment processing: $54.00 × 3% + $0.25 = $1.87
- Listing fee: $0.20
Etsy takes $5.58 in total. The seller keeps $28.42, a net margin of 52.6%. If the same order had come from Etsy's offsite ads, another 15% would be taken and the seller would keep $20.32.

A good Etsy price needs breathing room.
Margin is not just "profit per sale." It is the budget you have for ads, discounts, returns, packaging upgrades, and the next product launch.
Do not price only vs competitors
Competitor prices reflect their costs, not yours. Anchor against your own cost structure first, then sanity-check against the market.Include every real cost
Materials, packaging, shipping, fees, and any platform tooling you pay for. If it touches the order, it belongs in the calculation.Leave room for discounts and ads
If your margin barely clears the fee load, you cannot afford to run a sale or buy traffic. Pricing should fund growth, not just survive.Watch low-ticket items with flat fees
The $0.20 listing fee and $0.25 payment-fixed fee hit hardest on cheap products. Bundles often beat single-unit pricing here.Use bundles to lift margin
Two items sold together spread the flat fees over a larger ticket and almost always improve net margin, even at a discount.
How it works
Type your numbers
Sale price, the shipping the buyer pays, and what the item and shipping cost you.
Pick your country
Your payment account country changes the processing fee. Turn on offsite ads and tax if they apply.
See what you keep
Every fee on its own line. If your margin is tight, try a new price or cost right there.
Pricing questions sellers ask.
Is this an official Etsy calculator?
No. It is an independent estimate tool built for Etsy sellers by Optimsy. We use Etsy's publicly published fee structure and update the calculator when Etsy changes its rates, but Etsy itself is not affiliated with this tool.
Does it include offsite ads?
Yes, when the offsite ads toggle is on. Etsy charges 15% on orders from its offsite ads, or 12% once your shop has ever passed $10,000 in yearly sales, and never more than $100 USD per order. On lean pricing that can wipe out the margin, so flip the toggle to see how much room it takes.
Why is my profit lower than I expected?
Fees stack faster than most sellers realize. For a US seller, a 6.5% transaction fee plus 3% + $0.25 payment processing plus an optional 15% offsite ads fee is over 24% of revenue before product or shipping cost. Sellers in the UK, EU or Türkiye pay more processing, and some countries add a regulatory operating fee. The calculator surfaces every layer so nothing hides.
How much commission does Etsy take from a seller in Türkiye?
With a payment account in Türkiye, Etsy takes a 6.5% transaction fee on item price plus shipping, 6.5% plus 14 TRY payment processing on the gross order, and a 1.67% regulatory operating fee. Listing in USD adds 2.5% currency conversion, and the listing fee is $0.20. Without a VAT ID, Etsy also adds VAT to some of these fees.
Does Etsy take commission on shipping?
Yes. Etsy charges the 6.5% transaction fee on the item price plus the shipping the buyer pays, and payment processing is also calculated on the gross order including shipping. Folding shipping into the price and offering free shipping therefore does not change the fees, only the number the buyer sees. Enter your own postage cost separately.
Does a discount lower Etsy's fees?
In your own sales and promo codes, the discount comes off the item price, not the shipping. The calculator takes Etsy's percentage fees from the discounted amount; the listing fee and the fixed part of payment processing stay the same. Etsy-funded coupons differ: Etsy pays the discount, you get the full order amount and your fees don't change.
Does Etsy add VAT to its fees?
For sellers in Türkiye without a VAT ID on their Etsy account, Etsy adds VAT to monthly seller fees and deducts it from the payment account. The calculator applies 20% to listing, transaction, regulatory and Offsite Ads fees, but not to payment processing, which Etsy does not clearly cover for Türkiye. Switch it off if you added your VAT ID.
What is a healthy Etsy profit margin?
There is no universal number. Many handmade and POD sellers target a 30 to 50 percent net margin so there is room for ads, discounts, returns, and reinvestment. Below 20 percent net leaves almost no buffer for growth or pricing mistakes.
How do I price an item for a target margin?
Enter your costs and the margin you want in the Target margin field. The calculator finds the lowest item price that keeps that margin, using the same fees as the result. If you entered a discount, it targets the margin after the discount. Etsy's percentage fees cap the margin, so very high targets have no price.
Can I use this for digital products?
Yes. Set the item cost and shipping cost to your actual values - often near zero for digital - and the fee logic adapts. Margins on digital products are typically higher because there is no physical cost, but transaction and payment fees still apply.
What should I do after calculating profit?
Use the result as input into your listing strategy. If the margin is healthy, Optimsy can help you optimize the SEO, photos, and copy. If it is tight, revisit price, sourcing, bundles, or shipping before publishing - it is much easier to fix before launch.
