Etsy Fee Calculator

How Etsy's four fees stack up

Every Etsy sale can carry up to four separate charges: a flat $0.20 listing fee per item (charged when you list or renew, whether or not it sells, and again each time it auto-renews after selling), a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price plus shipping, a payment processing fee of 3% + $0.25 for US sellers using Etsy Payments, and -- for some sellers -- an Offsite Ads fee.

Offsite Ads works differently depending on your shop's trailing 12-month sales: shops under $10,000 in sales can opt out entirely, but if you opt in (or don't turn it off) and Etsy makes a sale through one of its offsite ads, you pay 12%. Shops with more than $10,000 in trailing sales are automatically enrolled and pay 15% with no opt-out, but only on sales that Etsy's ads actually generate -- not every sale.

Because the transaction fee and processing fee both apply to shipping, sellers who build shipping cost into the item price and offer 'free shipping' pay the same total fees either way -- there's no discount trick here, unlike some other marketplaces.

Where these numbers come from

The formulas and default values in this calculator are based on:

• Etsy seller fee schedule as publicly published for 2025-2026: $0.20 listing fee per item
• 6.5% transaction fee on item price + shipping
• 3% + $0.25 payment processing fee for US-based Etsy Payments sellers
• Offsite Ads fee of 12% (opt-in, under $10k trailing sales) or 15% (mandatory, over $10k trailing sales), charged only on ad-driven sales

Platform fee schedules change. These are planning estimates based on the most recently published rates -- always confirm the current fee schedule on the platform itself before relying on the exact number for a real payout.
