Worked example: a $32.00 Etsy sale
Suppose you sell an item for $32.00 and charge $5.00 shipping. The gross sale is $37.00. Here is how Etsy arrives at what you keep:
- Transaction fee (6.5% × $37.00)−$2.41
- Payment processing (3% × $37.00 + $0.25)−$1.36
- Listing fee (flat)−$0.20
- Total fees−$3.97
- Net payout$33.03
Total fees come to $3.97 (10.7% of the gross sale). After the fees and any platform-handled shipping deductions shown above, the net payout is $33.03. After your $8.00 item cost and $4.50 shipping paid separately, the profit is $20.53 — a 64.2% margin on the item price.

These models use a common item price with no shipping, ads, item cost, or cross-border surcharge. Each product keeps its own default sale type, category, plan, and payment method, so the table compares modeled seller deductions — not equivalent services or total buyer cost. Etsy’s modeled deduction is $3.49 (10.9%).

How Etsy fees work
This calculator uses US Etsy Payments rates: $0.20 per listing, 6.5% on item price plus charged shipping, and processing of 3% + $0.25 including buyer tax. Set the ad rate to 15% for an attributed Offsite Ads order, or 12% once the shop has reached $10,000 in sales over a 365-day period; the ad fee applies to item price plus shipping and is capped at $100 per order. US buyer sales tax is excluded from transaction and Offsite Ads fees. A 2.5% currency-conversion fee applies when your listing currency differs from your payment account currency, regardless of the buyer's country. Account setup, tax on seller fees, subscriptions, renewals beyond the single listing fee and onsite Ads budgets are separate costs not modeled here.
