Etsy Seller Fee Calculator

How to calculate Etsy seller fees?

Etsy seller fees are a combination of several charges: listing fees, transaction fees, payment processing fees, and sometimes offsite ads fees. Understanding these helps determine your net profit.

The combined formula for Net profit per unit is:

Net = (P - D + S_buyer) - (COGS + S_seller + L + (T_pct*(P-D+S_buyer)) + (PP_pct*(P-D+S_buyer)+PP_fixed) + (OA_pct*(P-D+S_buyer)))

Using the Etsy Seller Fee calculator: an example

Let's use an example: Sale Price (P)=$40, Discount (D)=$0, Shipping Charged (S_buyer)=$5, COGS=$10, Shipping Cost (S_seller)=$3, Listing Fee (L)=$0.20, Transaction Fee (T_pct)=6.5%, Payment Processing (PP_pct)=3% + Fixed (PP_fixed)=$0.25, Offsite Ads (OA_pct)=12%.

Step-by-step calculation:

1. Calculate Revenue: P - D + S_buyer = $40 - $0 + $5 = $45
2. Calculate Transaction Fee: 6.5% of $45 = $2.925
3. Calculate Payment Processing Fee: 3% of $45 + $0.25 = $1.35 + $0.25 = $1.60
4. Calculate Offsite Ads Fee: 12% of $45 = $5.40
5. Total Costs: COGS ($10) + S_seller ($3) + L ($0.20) + Transaction Fee ($2.925) + Payment Processing Fee ($1.60) + Offsite Ads Fee ($5.40) = $23.125
6. Net Profit: Revenue ($45) - Total Costs ($23.125) = $21.875

This net profit helps sellers understand their actual earnings after all Etsy fees and costs are accounted for.
