How Etsy fees work

  • Listing fee — USD 0.20 each time you list an item, and again automatically every four months or when a copy sells. On non-USD shops it is converted, so the amount moves with the exchange rate.
  • Transaction fee — 6.5% of the whole order total, and that includes the shipping and gift wrap you charge the buyer. Charging more for shipping does not dodge it.
  • Payment processing — a percentage plus a fixed amount per order, set by the country your bank account is in, not by where the buyer lives.
  • Offsite Ads — 15% of the order when a sale comes from an ad Etsy bought for you, or 12% once your shop passes 10,000 in annual sales. Under that threshold it is optional; above it, it is mandatory. Either way the fee is capped at 100 per order.
  • Regulatory operating fee — a small percentage of the order charged to sellers in certain countries. It rose again on 22 June 2026: the UK to 0.48%, France to 1.14%, Italy to 0.80%, Spain to 0.88%. Germany, the US, Canada and Australia do not pay it.

Why does my profit look worse here than in other calculators?

Because this one counts postage and materials against you even when the buyer pays for shipping, and it lets you price your own labour. Most calculators quietly stop at revenue minus Etsy fees.

Are these rates current for my country?

The presets follow Etsy's published rates for each marketplace, but Etsy revises them and some countries carry extra charges. Open the fee panel and overwrite any number that does not match your Payment account.

What margin should I aim for?

Most handmade sellers target 30% to 50% after fees and materials. Below 20% a single refund, a lost parcel, or a postage rise wipes out the order.

Estimates only. Actual fees vary with your marketplace, currency conversion, seller status, taxes, and any subscription you hold. Nothing here is financial advice, and this tool is not affiliated with or endorsed by Etsy, Inc.

Shipping

Is free shipping on Etsy costing you money?

Etsy taxes the shipping you charge, so moving money between price and postage changes nothing. What does change is forgetting to raise the price.

Etsy Offsite Ads: when 15% is worth it, and when it isn't

Forget the 15%. The number that decides it is your margin — and there is a band where an attributed order quietly goes negative.

Etsy fees by country in 2026: what sellers outside the US actually pay

A French seller pays about two percentage points more than an American one on an identical order. June 2026 widened the gap again.
