What is the Etsy listing fee?

Etsy charges $0.20 USD per listing, whether the item sells or not. The listing is active for four months. If the item sells, a new listing fee of $0.20 is automatically charged to keep the slot active.

What is the Etsy transaction fee?

Etsy charges a 6.5% transaction fee on the total sale amount, which includes the item price plus any shipping and gift wrapping charges you collect from the buyer.

What is the Etsy payment processing fee?

For US sellers using Etsy Payments, the fee is 3% of the total sale amount plus $0.25 per transaction. Rates and fixed-fee currencies vary by country. This calculator provides a US preset; its custom mode should only be used when every amount, including the fixed fee, has been expressed consistently in USD.

Does the transaction fee apply to shipping?

Yes. The 6.5% Etsy transaction fee applies to the full amount collected from the buyer, including any shipping fee you charge. Sellers often bundle shipping into item prices for marketing appeal, though the 6.5% fee applies equally to the total sale amount.

What are Etsy offsite ads fees?

If you are enrolled in Etsy's offsite ads program (mandatory for shops earning over $10,000/year), Etsy charges an additional 12–15% commission when a sale results from an offsite ad click. This calculator does not include offsite ads fees by default; use the offsite ads toggle if applicable.

Are there any other Etsy fees?

Additional possible fees include: Etsy Plus subscription ($10/month), pattern website ($15/month), in-person selling via Square integration, and VAT in some countries. This calculator covers the core per-sale fees most sellers encounter.
