Etsy Fee Calculator — Free Online Tool
Etsy fees stack up in layers, and the total surprises most sellers. This Etsy fee calculator adds up the listing fee, transaction fee, and payment processing fee on your sale — so you know exactly what lands in your pocket.
What is the Etsy Fee Calculator?
Etsy charges three separate fees on most sales. The $0.20 listing fee applies per listing, renewing automatically. The transaction fee is 6.5% of the total sale amount — including what you charge for shipping. Then payment processing takes 3% + $0.25 in the US. Sell through Etsy's Offsite Ads and another 12% comes off on top.
The key insight: fees apply to shipping charges too, so building shipping into a higher 'free shipping' price isn't just marketing — it slightly changes the fee math. Use this Etsy fee calculator to price products so your margin survives the fees, and to judge whether Offsite Ads sales are worth the extra 12%.
How to use this calculator
