Assumptions and formula transparency
Seller revenue includes discounted item revenue, shipping, gift wrap, and personalization. Sales tax is included in payment processing but is not seller revenue.
Known regulatory fees and the USD 100 Offsite Ads cap are included. VAT on seller fees, refunds, reserves, deposit fees, and Etsy Ads spend remain outside this order estimate.

Common mistakes
- Ignoring ad-attributed orders.

- Assuming a lower price always produces more useful demand.
Fee assumptions used
These are editable planning assumptions from the local fee table, last reviewed 2026-08-22. Payment processing assumptions can vary by country, currency, payment method, and seller setup, so they are estimates rather than guaranteed exact fees.
Etsy publishes fixed fees such as listing fees in USD and converts them to your payment account currency at the market rate when the fee is reflected in your payment account. This calculator uses the exchange rate shown in the calculator, so your actual Etsy amount may vary. VAT on seller fees, deposit fees, Etsy Ads spend, Pattern, subscriptions, reserves, refunds, and return costs are not included unless explicitly shown.

| United Kingdom | USD 0.20 | 0.79 | 6.5% | 4.0% + GBP 0.20 | 0.48% | 0%, 12%, 15% |
