Understand your result
Understand what is left from an Etsy order after the charges you enter. This calculator uses the inputs above to produce a planning estimate. It does not predict sales or guarantee that the modeled price will work for your buyers.
Calculation formula
Worked example
For a $35 item and $5 buyer-paid shipping, with $5.75 postage, $10 materials, $8 labor, $1.25 packaging, $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee, and 3% + $0.25 processing, the estimated profit is $10.75 when Offsite Ads and tax input are zero.
Before you rely on the estimate
- US default rates are starting assumptions, not a live account quotation. Check the official Etsy help pages before relying on results.
- Offsite Ads, VAT, regulatory fees, shipping label purchases, refunds and ads spending may change your actual payout.
- Set the optional sales tax input only when relevant to the amount on which processing is charged; tax collected/remitted is not included as seller revenue.

Frequently asked questions
Are the default Etsy fees official?

Why might Etsy’s payout differ?
Your Payment account may include tax, refunds, ads, regulatory charges, currency conversion or fees unrelated to this order. This is a simplified profit estimate.
