Put in what the buyer pays and see every fee Etsy charges, line by line, and what actually lands in your account. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for, and the numbers stay in your browser.
Fee rates checked against Etsy’s published fee pages on 10 September 2026. Rates differ by country and change without much notice - if you spot one that has moved, tell us and we will correct it.
Etsy changes these rates and they differ by country, so the preset is only a starting point and every field below is editable. Your exact payment processing rate is in Shop Manager under Finances, and the current rates are in Etsy's own fee policy.
Fill these in and the calculator turns "what Etsy takes" into "what you actually made".

Sellers usually quote one number, the 6.5%, and it is the smallest part of the story. There are three fees on every single order and three more that appear on some of them.
A flat 0.20 USD to publish a listing, charged again every time it renews and every time an item from a multi-quantity listing sells. On a 30 order it is under 1%. On a 6 wax melt it is over 3% before anything else is taken.
Charged on the total the buyer pays, which includes the shipping you charged and any gift wrapping. This is the one people mean when they say "Etsy takes six and a half percent".
A percentage plus a fixed amount, and it is the fee that varies most by country - roughly 3% plus 0.25 in the United States, closer to 4% plus 0.20 or 0.30 across the UK and the eurozone. The fixed part is why cheap items are disproportionately expensive to sell.
Charged when the buyer arrived through an advert Etsy paid for on Google, Facebook or elsewhere. It is 15% for shops under 10,000 USD in the last 365 days, who may opt out, and 12% for shops at or above that, who may not. It lands on some orders and not others, which is exactly what makes it hard to price for.
A percentage of the order charged to sellers in the UK, France, Italy, Spain and Turkey. It is small and it is easy to forget it exists until you reconcile a payout. Rates differ by country and have changed more than once, so put yours in the field above rather than trusting a number you read somewhere.
Charged when you list in one currency and get paid into a bank account in another. A euro shop listing in dollars to look friendlier to American buyers is paying this on every order.
This page answers what Etsy takes. It cannot tell you whether the order was worth taking, because that depends on what the wax, the jar, the label and the mailer cost you on the day you made it, and on how long you stood there making it. That number moves every time a supplier changes a price, which is why most shops are working from a figure that was true last spring.
If you make what you sell, the candle pricing calculator works out the cost side from your actual material prices and solves backwards for the price that hits the margin you want. And how to price homemade candles walks the whole thing through on one worked example, fees included.
On an ordinary order, roughly 10 to 11 percent of what the buyer pays plus about half a unit of currency in flat fees. That is a 6.5% transaction fee, payment processing of about 3-4% plus a fixed amount, and a 0.20 listing fee. An Offsite Ads order adds 12% or 15% on top, which can push the total past 25%.
Yes. The transaction fee and payment processing are both charged on the total the buyer pays, and shipping is part of that total. Charging shipping separately instead of offering free shipping does not avoid the percentage.
It is charged when a buyer reaches your listing through an advert Etsy paid for elsewhere. It is 15% of the order for shops under 10,000 USD in the last 365 days, who can opt out, and 12% for shops at or above that, who cannot. It only applies to orders that came through such an advert, not to every sale.
Yes. The listing fee is charged when you publish a listing and again each time it renews, whether or not anything sold. This calculator counts one listing fee against one sale, which is the right way to look at a single order, but a shop full of listings that do not sell is paying that fee repeatedly.
The usual reasons are an Offsite Ads fee on that particular order, a currency conversion fee when your bank currency differs from your listing currency, a regulatory operating fee in the UK, France, Italy, Spain or Turkey, or sales tax and VAT that Etsy collects and remits. Each of those has its own field above so you can add it and see the real number.
A percentage of the order charged to sellers in the UK, France, Italy, Spain and Turkey. The rate differs by country and has changed more than once, which is why the calculator takes it as a field you fill in rather than a number baked into the code. Check the current rate for your country on Etsy and put it in.
Because two of the fees are flat, not percentages. The 0.20 listing fee and the fixed part of payment processing are the same on a 6 wax melt as on a 30 candle. On the 30 order the listing fee is under 1%; on the 6 melt it is over 3% before anything else is taken. Small items need the fee arithmetic done before the price is set, not after.
It depends on your turnover. Shops that made under 10,000 USD in the last 365 days pay 15% on an Offsite Ads order and may switch the programme off. Shops at or above that threshold pay 12% and cannot opt out. Either way the fee only lands on orders that actually arrived through an advert Etsy paid for.
About 2.5%, charged when you list in one currency and are paid into a bank account in another. A eurozone shop that lists in dollars to look friendlier to American buyers pays this on every single order, which is easy to forget when comparing the listing price with the payout.
Yes. The 6.5% is charged on the total the buyer pays, and that total includes both the shipping you charged and any gift wrapping. Anything the buyer is billed for is part of the base the percentage is taken from.
Yes. Pick your seller country and the payment processing rate changes with it - roughly 3% plus a fixed amount in the United States, Canada and Australia, closer to 4% plus a fixed amount across the UK and the eurozone. The regulatory operating fee has its own field for the countries that are charged one.
