Etsy Seller Fees Calculator

This Etsy seller fees calculator helps you see how much of each order goes to Etsy fees and how much you actually receive in your payment account in USD. It’s designed for quick pricing checks so you can set smarter item prices and shipping options without guessing your real take-home amount.

1. Enter either the order total, the target net, or both

In the first step, add the Customer pays (USD) amount — the total the buyer pays on Etsy for the order, including item price and shipping (but excluding sales tax collected by Etsy). The calculator will estimate Etsy fees and show your net payout after those fees. If you already know what you want to keep, fill in “You want to receive” instead (or as well) and the tool will calculate the minimum amount to charge.

2. Model your Etsy fee structure as % + fixed

Etsy charges a mix of listing fees, a transaction fee on the order total, and payment processing fees through Etsy Payments. To keep the calculator fast, these are combined into a single percentage fee plus a fixed fee per order. The defaults (around 9.5% + $0.45) roughly reflect a 6.5% transaction fee plus example payment processing and listing costs for many US sellers, but you should overwrite them with your own real-world rates.

3. Read the breakdown to see fees, net, and effective %

The results card highlights a headline number — either your net payout on the order you entered, or the charge needed to reach a target net. Under that, the breakdown shows the order total, total Etsy fees, net to you, and the effective fee rate as a percentage of the payment. This lets you quickly spot whether low-priced items or heavy shipping are being eaten up by fees.

4. Use it to tune prices and test “what-if” scenarios

Use this tool when you are pricing new listings, deciding whether to offer “free shipping”, or checking if coupons or sales still leave enough room after fees. You can adjust the combined fee percentage and fixed fee to simulate different countries, promotions, or ad situations. The Copy summary button produces a clean text breakdown you can paste into notes, spreadsheets, or messages when discussing pricing with partners or your accountant.

Remember that this calculator focuses on Etsy platform fees only. It doesn’t include your product cost, packaging, shipping labels, ads, or other overhead. For a full profit picture, combine the net payout from this tool with your own cost and margin calculations.

This calculator treats Etsy’s core fees (listing, transaction, and payment processing) as a single blended rate. Let G be the order amount in USD the customer pays on Etsy (item price + shipping), r be your combined Etsy percentage fee as a decimal, and f be your fixed per-order fee in USD.

The total Etsy fees on one order are:

Etsy fees = G × r + f

Your net payout after these fees is:

Net payout = G − (G × r + f)

If instead you start from a target net amount, let N be the dollars you want to receive. Solving the same equation for G gives the minimum charge needed to end up with N after fees:

Required charge = (N + f) ÷ (1 − r)

The effective fee rate shown in the results is simply:

Effective fee % = (Etsy fees ÷ G) × 100

In practice, you can derive r and f from your real fees by combining listing costs, the 6.5% transaction fee, and your country-specific payment processing fee into a single blended rate and fixed amount per order. That way, this simple calculator stays aligned with your actual Etsy bill while remaining easy to use.
