How Etsy fees work
Every US Etsy sale is hit by several fees at once:
- $0.20 listing fee — charged when the item sells (and per renewal).
- 6.5% transaction fee — on item price plus the shipping you charge.
- Payment processing — 3% + $0.25 per order (US).
- Offsite Ads — 15% (or 12% over $10k/yr) when Etsy's ads drive the sale.
Subtract those, then subtract what the item and its shipping cost you, and you get real profit. The margin figure tells you whether the price is actually worth your time.

Frequently asked questions
What fees does Etsy charge?
On each US sale Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price plus shipping and gift wrap, and payment processing of 3% + $0.25. If the sale came from an Offsite Ad, Etsy adds a 15% fee (12% if you made $10,000+ in the last 12 months).
How do I calculate my real Etsy profit?
Take your item price plus any shipping you charge, subtract all Etsy fees, then subtract what the item cost you to make and ship. What is left is your actual profit. This calculator does it instantly and also shows your margin.
What is the Etsy Offsite Ads fee?
When Etsy advertises your listing on Google, Facebook, and other sites and it leads to a sale, Etsy charges 15% of the order total (12% for sellers who made $10,000+ in the past year). Sellers over that threshold cannot opt out. Toggle it above to see the impact.
Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee and payment processing both apply to the shipping you charge, not just the item price — which is why "free shipping" baked into a higher price is often cleaner than charging shipping separately.
Are these the exact fees for my shop?
These are standard US Etsy fees for 2026. Fees differ by country, currency, and optional programs (Etsy Plus, Pattern, regulatory operating fees). Always confirm against your own Etsy payment account.
