How the Etsy calculation works

Seller revenue = item price + buyer-paid shipping + gift wrap. Net profit = revenue − listing fee − transaction fee − payment processing − regulatory fee − Offsite Ads − product cost − shipping cost − other costs.

Without Offsite Ads

$35 revenue − $8 product − $4.50 shipping − $0.20 listing − $2.28 transaction (6.5%) − $1.30 processing (3% + $0.25) = $18.72 profit (53%).

With 15% Offsite Ads

Adding a 15% Offsite Ads fee ($5.25) on the same order reduces estimated profit to $13.47 (38%).

Frequently asked questions

Essential guidance on Etsy seller fees, processing rates, and profit optimization.

What total percentage does Etsy take in 2026?

Total fee percentage varies depending on order value because fixed fees ($0.20 listing fee and $0.25 payment processing fee) represent a higher share on smaller orders. On standard US orders without Offsite Ads, deductions include the $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on item price and shipping, and a 3.0% + $0.25 payment processing charge.

How much does Etsy take on a $5 digital item?

On a $5.00 digital download, Etsy deducts a $0.20 listing fee, a $0.33 transaction fee (6.5%), and a $0.40 payment processing fee (3% + $0.25). Total Etsy fees equal $0.93 (18.6%), leaving the seller with $4.07 net profit (81.4% margin).

Does Etsy take a 6.5% cut from shipping costs?

Yes. Etsy applies its 6.5% transaction fee to the shipping amount charged to the buyer as well as the item price and gift wrap. If you charge $5.00 for shipping, Etsy deducts $0.33 as a shipping transaction fee.

Can I opt out of Etsy Offsite Ads?

If your Etsy shop made less than $10,000 in gross sales over the trailing 12 consecutive months, Offsite Ads is optional (15% fee on attributed sales) and you can turn it off. If your shop generated $10,000 or more, participation is mandatory for the lifetime of your shop at a discounted 12% fee.

What is the Etsy Regulatory Operating Fee and who pays it?

Sellers in select countries pay a small Regulatory Operating Fee to cover local digital services taxes: UK (0.32%), Canada (0.38%), France (0.40%), Italy (0.32%), Spain (0.40%), and Vietnam (0.50%). US sellers are not charged this fee.

How should I calculate break-even pricing to stay profitable on Etsy?

To find your break-even price, add your item material costs, packaging, labor, and postage, then solve for the selling price where net revenue equals total expenses after deducting Etsy's 6.5% transaction fee, 3% + $0.25 processing, and the $0.20 listing fee. NetMarginHub solves this break-even price automatically in real time.
