Listing + transaction + processing + optional Offsite Ads. Reverse pricing included. 2026 rates.
Etsy does not charge a single flat “take rate.” On a typical order, sellers face a listing fee, a transaction fee on the order total, payment processing that varies by country, and—when a sale is attributed to Offsite Ads—an additional Offsite Ads fee. Your net also depends on product cost and the difference between shipping charged to the buyer and what you actually spend to ship.
This page estimates those pieces for planning: profit on an organic sale, profit when Offsite Ads apply, and reverse pricing to hit a target net. Figures are illustrative based on common published structures (including a 6.5% transaction fee and country-style processing presets). Always confirm current rules in Etsy’s official Fees & Payments documentation before you set prices or scale inventory.
Profit — Organic-style sale with listing, transaction, and processing only. Enter item price, shipping charged, your shipping cost, and product cost.
With Offsite Ads — Compares net if the sale is Offsite-attributed versus organic. Toggle the over-$10k trailing sales option when you are modeling the lower Offsite rate tier under Etsy’s published thresholds.
Reverse price — Solves for an approximate minimum item price to reach a target net, optionally assuming Offsite attribution.
Item $35, shipping charged $5, your shipping $4.50, product cost $10. Order total for fee purposes is $40. Transaction at 6.5% is $2.60; processing at 3% + $0.25 is about $1.45; listing $0.20. Etsy-side fees land near $4–$5 before Offsite Ads. After product and shipping cost, net is much thinner than “$35 minus a small cut” intuition suggests—especially if Offsite Ads apply on top.
Use the live fields on this page for your numbers; the example only shows why line-by-line math matters.
Offsite Ads can deliver orders you might not have received otherwise, but the incremental fee reduces margin on attributed orders. New or smaller shops often model 15%; higher-volume shops may see different program rates under Etsy’s rules. Always verify whether a given order was attributed and which rate applied in your Etsy bill.
Processing percentage and fixed fee change with the seller payment country selector. Currency symbols in results follow the selected preset. Transaction percentage in this model stays on the widely published 6.5% structure; local tax display and some regional products can differ. Confirm on Etsy for your account country.
Serious sellers should treat this calculator as a worksheet. Etsy’s fee policy pages and your shop’s payment statements are the source of truth—especially for Offsite attribution, tax line handling, and any promotional listing credits. When a third-party tool and your Etsy bill disagree, the bill wins.
Document assumptions (COGS, shipping, ads) when you share screenshots with partners or manufacturers. Re-run reverse pricing when Etsy updates processing rates or Offsite rules for your country.
Etsy’s stack (listing + transaction + processing + optional Offsite) differs from Amazon FBA’s referral and fulfillment model and from eBay’s category final-value structures. Lower sticker fees can still lose to shipping reality or ads. Compare scenarios on the Amazon FBA calculator, eBay fee calculator, and marketplace fee comparator before concentrating inventory in one channel.
On a typical $100 US sale (no Offsite Ads), Etsy fees often land around the mid–teens in dollars after the 6.5% transaction fee, ~3% + $0.25 payment processing, and listing costs allocated per sale — so many sellers keep roughly the mid-$80s before product cost. Run your exact numbers in the Etsy fee calculator.
The $29 figure usually refers to Etsy’s one-time setup / onboarding charge for some new sellers, not a fee on every order. Most ongoing cost is listing ($0.20), transaction (6.5%), and payment processing. Always confirm current fees in your Etsy Seller handbook.
Etsy does not charge a fixed monthly subscription for a basic shop the way some platforms do. You mainly pay per listing and per sale (plus optional Offsite Ads and pattern tools). Use the calculator to model order-level fees.
It depends on price point, category, and ads. eBay Managed Payments and Etsy’s 6.5% + processing stack differently. Compare side by side with the marketplace fee comparator and the eBay fee calculator.
Etsy sometimes runs promotions (including free listings via partner offers). Standard listing fee is $0.20 each when promotions do not apply. Treat promos as temporary — model steady-state fees in the calculator.
When a sale is attributed to Offsite Ads, an extra percentage may apply (often modeled at 15%, or 12% above certain sales thresholds). Use the Offsite Ads mode to compare attributed vs organic net on the same price.
Shipping charged is what the buyer pays (and usually enters the order total used for transaction fees). Your shipping cost is what you spend to fulfill. The difference affects net profit.
