Formula

What the Etsy fee stack includes

Total Etsy fees = Listing fees + Transaction fee + Payment processing + Offsite ads

Listing fees are modeled at $0.20 per item sold. Transaction fees are modeled at 6.5% of the order value including shipping charged, and payment processing uses 3% plus $0.25. Add an offsite ads rate if the order was attributed to that channel.

Where sellers get surprised

Shipping charged to the buyer still sits inside Etsy's fee base.
Lower-ticket orders feel the fixed processing fee more aggressively.
Offsite ads can turn an acceptable order into a weak one fast.

Where to go next

Once the fee stack is clear, use landed cost and break-even ROAS to see whether there is enough contribution left to scale the listing.

FAQ

Etsy fee calculator questions

Does Etsy charge fees on shipping charged to the buyer?

Yes. Shipping charged to the buyer still sits inside Etsy's fee base in this model, which is why shipping revenue can feel less attractive than expected.

Should I include offsite ads in Etsy order math?

If the order may come through Etsy offsite ads, include that rate. It can materially change payout and profit, especially on lower-ticket products.

What is the next calculator to use after Etsy fees?

A good next step is landed cost, payout margin, or break-even ROAS, depending on whether the biggest uncertainty is product cost, retained contribution, or traffic efficiency.
