How Etsy Calculates Seller Fees in 2026
Selling on Etsy is deceptively simple until payouts arrive. Etsy operates a multi-tiered fee system where charges are deducted at different stages of the sale. When an item sells, Etsy takes a 6.5% transaction fee not only on the item price, but also on any shipping charged and optional gift wrapping.
On top of the transaction fee, Etsy assesses a payment processing fee (in the US: 3.0% + $0.25) across the entire order total, including sales tax collected from the buyer. Furthermore, every item listed incurs a $0.20 listing fee that automatically renews every 4 months or every time an additional quantity is purchased.
For shops reaching over $10,000 in trailing 12-month sales, Etsy mandates participation in Offsite Ads at a 12% fee on attributed sales (capped at $100 per transaction). Sellers doing under $10,000 pay 15% and can opt out. When layered together, typical Etsy fees consume 11% to 26% of your gross transaction revenue before packaging and COGS are accounted for.
- Listing Renewal: $0.20 flat per unit sold
- Transaction Fee: 6.5% × (Item Price + Shipping Charged)
- Payment Processing: 3.0% × (Total Charged) + $0.25
- Offsite Ads (if applicable): 12% or 15% of (Item Price + Shipping Charged) (Max $100 cap)
- Net Profit = Item Price + Shipping Charged − Listing Fee − Transaction Fee − Processing Fee − Offsite Ads − COGS − Actual Shipping Cost − Packaging
How to Accurately Calculate Your Etsy Profit in 4 Steps
Sum Total Gross Buyer Revenue
Add your item list price plus the exact shipping fee you charge the buyer.
Deduct Baseline Marketplace Fees
Subtract $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee, and 3.0% + $0.25 payment processing.
Include Marketing & Production COGS
Factor in Offsite Ads (if applicable), raw materials / print-on-demand production costs, and your true postage label expense.
Solve for Target Net Margin
Aim for at least 30% to 45% net margin to account for customer returns, damaged shipments, and shop overhead.
