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.

Illustrative US examples using the displayed fee assumptions, with materials, labor, and shipping included.

A handmade item: pay for your time first

A $40 item plus $5 shipping, with $10 materials, $10 labor, $1 packaging, and $5 postage, leaves $14.27 profit after estimated Etsy fees.

The labor allowance covers 30 minutes at $20 an hour. Leaving it out would overstate profit by $10.

A 20% sale plus Offsite Ads

Keep the same costs, discount the item to $32, and apply a 15% Offsite Ads fee to the $37 order. Profit falls to $1.48.

Check the combined effect before committing to a promotion.

How this calculator works

Revenue, Etsy fees, and operating costs are shown independently before profit, margin, and ROI are calculated.

Formula used

Margin = net profit / seller revenue. ROI = net profit / operating costs.

Common mistakes

  • Confusing margin with markup.
  • Leaving labor out.
  • Comparing products with different cost definitions.

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.

FAQ

Are these Etsy fee estimates exact?

No. They are planning estimates using the visible assumptions. Verify them against Etsy''s current fee policy and your Payment account.

How does the Offsite Ads cap work?

The calculator limits the estimated fee to Etsy''s USD 100 per attributed order cap, converted with the displayed USD rate.

How is sales tax handled?

Entered tax is included in payment processing but excluded from seller revenue. You can optionally include it in transaction and Offsite Ads bases when your jurisdiction requires that treatment.

What should I include in costs?

Include materials, labor, packaging, shipping, software allocation, and other costs you need the order to recover.

Can I save or share a calculation?

Yes. Save private product presets on this device, copy a URL, export CSV, or print a report.
