What changes the number on Etsy
- The transaction fee is 6.5% of the item price, the shipping and any gift wrapping. For US sellers it does not apply to sales tax.
- Etsy Payments charges 3% of the total including tax and shipping, plus $0.25 per order. The calculator applies the percentage to the price plus shipping.
- Each listing costs $0.20, and the calculator counts it once per sale. A listing with several units renews at $0.20 for each unit sold, so a multi-unit order pays it more than once.
- Offsite Ads cost 15% of an order Etsy attributes to an ad. Once your shop passes $10,000 in sales over the last 365 days, the rate is 12% and the ads are mandatory. Either way the fee is capped at $100 per order. Type the rate only for orders that came from an ad.
This page uses Etsy's US rates. Payment processing differs by country, and sales tax and the Offsite Ads cap are not included.

Questions about Etsy fees
Does Etsy charge for Offsite Ads on every sale?
No, only on orders Etsy attributes to an offsite ad. For those, type 15 (or 12 if your shop is past $10,000 a year) under "Promoting any listings?".
When does Etsy charge the listing fee?
When you list the item ($0.20), and again for each further unit sold from a multi-unit listing.
Does Etsy take a fee on shipping?
Yes. Both the transaction fee and the payment processing fee include the shipping the buyer pays.
I sell vintage on Etsy. Are the fees the same?
Yes. Etsy charges vintage items the same listing, transaction and payment processing fees as handmade items and craft supplies. Type the sale as it happened, and add an ad rate only for an order that came from an Offsite Ad.
Why do my numbers differ slightly from the platform's own dashboard?
Timing differences, rounding, sales tax handling (tax is info-only here and never enters the fee math, while some platforms include it in their fee base), and ads or promo fees you didn't enter. Each fee row's Verified date and Source URL show exactly what was checked and when.
