Etsy fee calculator 2026
See every Etsy fee on a sale, your deposit and your profit. Built for US shops paid through Etsy Payments to a US bank account.
Pro: profit tracking across every platform
Upload the sales CSVs you already export from eBay, Etsy, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, TikTok Shop and Whatnot. Pro matches each sale to its fees and your item cost and shows true profit per item, per platform and per month in one table. It also emails you when a platform you sell on changes its fees.
This is an early project. We will only email you about the Pro version.
How Etsy fees work in 2026
- Transaction fee 6.5% applies to the item price plus shipping and gift wrap you charge, not sales tax.
- Payment processing for a US bank account is 3% + $0.25 on the total including shipping and sales tax.
- The $0.20 listing fee is charged per listing whether or not it sells; it is counted once per sale here.
- The US is not on the list of countries that pay a Regulatory Operating fee.
- Offsite Ads are required for life once your shop makes $10,000 in any 365-day period, at 12% of an order that came from an ad. Below that you are enrolled at 15% and can opt out. The fee is capped at $100 per order. Tick the box when a sale came from an Offsite Ad.
- Etsy's help pages charge the Offsite Ads fee on the order total. We apply it to the item price plus shipping and leave out sales tax; the sales tax part is unconfirmed on an Etsy page we could load.
- Etsy Ads (on Etsy itself) are optional and paid separately, so they are not included.
Example
A $40 item with $8 shipping charged, a $10 item cost, $8 actual postage and 7% sales tax: Etsy fees come to $5.11, your payout is $42.89 and your profit is $24.89.
Why Etsy fees feel higher than 6.5%
The 6.5% transaction fee also applies to shipping, and the 3% processing fee applies to shipping and sales tax. Add the flat $0.25 and $0.20 and the total on a $40 sale with $8 shipping is $5.11, about 11% of what the buyer paid before tax.
