Etsy Fee Calculator 2026

Etsy has three separate fees that stack up. Most sellers underestimate their true cost — here's the full picture.

Three Fees, Every Sale

  • Listing fee: $0.20 per item listed (renewable every 4 months or on sale)
  • Transaction fee: 6.5% of the sale price including shipping
  • Payment processing: 3% + $0.25 (US sellers using Etsy Payments)

Total effective rate: roughly 9.5–10% on most sales, plus the listing fee.

Example: $45 handmade item

  • Sale price: $45.00
  • Listing fee: −$0.20
  • Transaction fee (6.5%): −$2.93
  • Payment processing (3% + $0.25): −$1.60
  • Net before materials + shipping: $40.27

Etsy Plus & Ads

Etsy Plus costs $10/mo and gives listing credits and ad credits. Etsy Offsite Ads charges an additional 12–15% on sales driven by their ads (mandatory if you earn over $10k/yr on Etsy).
