etsy fees
What Etsy charges on each sale.
Etsy stacks three main fees on a typical US listing. They apply to the item price and, for one of them, shipping too.
- Listing fee — $0.20 when you publish or renew a listing (editable in the tool for multi-quantity cases).
- Transaction fee — 6.5% of the item price plus shipping charged to the buyer.
- Payment processing — about 3% of the item price plus a $0.25 flat fee per order (US default).
Rates vary by country and change over time. The calculator ships with US defaults you can edit — always verify live rates at etsy.com/fees.
how to use
Find your sell price in three steps.
- Open Etsy Pricing Calculator and fill in material cost, time × hourly rate (optional), and shipping charged to the buyer.
- Set your target profit margin on the slider — default is 30%.
- Read the recommended sell price and fee breakdown on the right. Adjust fee defaults if you sell outside the US.
The tool shows a minimum break-even price (covers costs and fees) and a recommended price that hits your margin after fees.
example
Worked example: handmade item.
Suppose your materials cost $5, you spend one hour at $15/hr, you charge the buyer $4 shipping, and you want a 30% margin:
- Labour = 1 × $15 = $15 → total cost base = $20
- Minimum break-even item price ≈ $22.88
- Recommended item price ≈ $34.23 (30% margin after fees)
Use the manual override field to test a price you already have in mind — if it shows a loss, the margin chip turns red.
