How much does Etsy take per sale?

For US sellers on standard Etsy Payments, each sale carries a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price and shipping, and payment processing of 3% + $0.25 per order. If the sale came from Offsite Ads, add 12% or 15%.

What is the Etsy transaction fee?

Etsy charges a 6.5% transaction fee, applied to both the item price and the shipping you charge the buyer.

How do I calculate my Etsy profit?

Take your item price plus any shipping you charge, subtract Etsy's listing, transaction, payment processing, and any offsite ads fees, then subtract what the item cost you to make. What's left is your profit.

How Etsy fees actually work

Every Etsy sale carries a few separate fees. On their own they look small — together they add up to more than most sellers expect. Here's what comes out of each order (US sellers, standard Etsy Payments):

Listing fee — $0.20 per listing. Charged when you list an item and again each time it sells or renews.
Transaction fee — 6.5%. Applied to the item price and the shipping you charge.
Payment processing — 3% + $0.25 per order (US). This varies by country.
Offsite Ads — 12% or 15%. Only when a buyer reaches your listing through an Etsy ad. It's 15% for most shops and 12% once you pass $10k in sales over 12 months.

Why margin matters more than price

Two products at the same price can leave you with very different take-home pay once materials and fees come out. Margin — profit as a share of the sale — is the number that tells you whether a product is actually worth making. This calculator shows it per item; Martora tracks it automatically across every product you sell.
