Use this Etsy calculator to estimate listing fees, transaction fees, payment processing, optional Offsite Ads, net profit, margin, ROI, and break-even price before you price or rewrite a listing.
Searchers call this an Etsy fee calculator, Etsy calculator, or etsy calculator. The useful answer is the same: how much Etsy takes from the order, what you keep after product costs, and whether Offsite Ads still leave enough margin.
Use it as an Etsy low-price item calculator when the $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee, payment processing, shipping, packaging, and Offsite Ads at 12% or 15% can erase profit on small handmade or POD items.
Direct answer
Start with the item price, customer-paid shipping, and gift wrap. Then add the listing fee, transaction fee, Etsy Payments processing rate, optional Offsite Ads rate, product cost, shipping label cost, packaging, and ad cost. The output shows estimated Etsy fees, net profit, margin, ROI, and the break-even item price.

How this calculator works
The calculator models a single Etsy order using item price, quantity, customer-paid shipping, gift wrap, sales tax, listing fee, transaction fee, payment processing, Offsite Ads, currency conversion, product cost, shipping label cost, packaging, and ad cost per order.
Etsy's official policies describe the transaction fee as a percentage of item price plus shipping and gift wrap. Etsy Payments processing fees vary by seller bank location, and Offsite Ads can add 12% or 15% on attributed orders with a per-order cap.

Start with the $0.20 listing fee, then apply the 6.5% transaction fee to item price, shipping, and gift wrap. Add Etsy Payments processing, currency conversion if needed, and Offsite Ads when the order is attributed to an offsite ad click.
Yes. Etsy's transaction fee applies to the item price plus shipping and gift wrap. For US sellers, Etsy says sales tax is not included in the transaction fee calculation, but payment processing can still use a broader payment total.
Offsite Ads at 12% or 15% can be the difference between a healthy listing and a weak one. Test both rates before assuming a low-price item can support discounts, free shipping, and paid acquisition.
