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.
