FAQ
Etsy questions answered
How much does Etsy take per sale?
On the US schedule, Etsy takes a $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee, and 3% + $0.25 payment processing — roughly 9.85% all-in on a $50 sale before offsite ads. Toggle offsite ads in the calculator to add 12–15% on top.
What is the Etsy offsite ads 15% threshold?
Shops that made under $10,000 in the last 365 days pay 15% offsite ads when a sale is attributed to an Etsy ad. Shops over $10,000 pay 12%. The fee is mandatory and there is no opt-out — but you can model the worst case with the toggle.
Why is the listing fee $0.20 even if I don't sell?
Etsy charges $0.20 USD per listing on a four-month cycle regardless of whether the item sells. The calculator includes this as a fixed line item so a single bulk-listing run shows the real cost.
How do UK Etsy fees differ from US?
Switch the currency above to GBP and the calculator swaps to Etsy's UK schedule: ~£0.16 listing + 6.5% transaction + ~4% + £0.20 processing. Offsite ads behave identically.

Etsy offsite ads: 12% vs 15% threshold explained
Etsy offsite ads are mandatory once your shop is eligible — there's no opt-out. If a buyer arrives at your listing from an ad that Etsy purchased (Google, Pinterest, Facebook, etc.) and purchases within 30 days, Etsy charges an ad fee on the entire order total. Shops under $10,000 in trailing 365-day revenue pay 15%; shops over $10,000 pay 12%. The default 15% is selected in the calculator above; toggle the box off if you'd rather model a no-ads scenario.
Etsy transaction fee + listing fee: what you'll actually pay
The $0.20 listing fee is the most commonly missed cost. It renews every four months whether the item sells or not, so a stale unsold listing quietly accumulates fees. The calculator's all-in line combines the listing fee, 6.5% transaction, and 3% + $0.25 processing into one effective rate, then layers in optional offsite ads on top.
Pricing for a target margin on Etsy
The calculator above answers "what do I make at this price?" For the reverse question — "what price do I need to hit a 30% margin after Etsy's 9.85% all-in fee?" — use the pricing calculator. Enter your cost, the Etsy's 6.5% + 3% + $0.25 schedule, and your target profit, and the calculator reverse-solves the minimum sale price. If you also sell on eBay or Poshmark, run each price through the matching calculator to find the most profitable channel.
