What this tool tells you
Selling on Etsy means paying a flat $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee, payment processing of 3% + $0.25, and potentially a 12–15% offsite ad fee. Stacked together these can eat 20%+ of a sale. This calculator shows your true margin per listing.
How the math works
Enter your item price and shipping, and toggle offsite ads. The calculator adds the $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee on the item-plus-shipping total, 3% + $0.25 payment processing, and 12% offsite ads (if enabled) on the item price. The remainder is your net.
Frequently asked questions
What fees does Etsy charge in 2026?
Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee, payment processing of 3% + $0.25, and an offsite ads fee of 12% (or 15% below $10k in ad-attributed sales) on orders the ads drove.
Can I turn off Etsy offsite ads?
Only once you pass $10,000 in offsite-ad-attributed sales in a rolling 12 months — then they switch off automatically and stay off. Below that threshold they are mandatory for most shops.
Is the Etsy transaction fee on shipping too?
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee and the 3% payment-processing fee are both calculated on the item price plus shipping, not just the item price.
