What does Etsy take at different Indian sale prices?
Because most fees are percentages but the listing fee and the fixed part of processing are flat, the effective rate shrinks as the order grows. GST at 18% is applied to the fee subtotal and included below. Examples assume free shipping and no Offsite Ads.
| Sale price | Listing | Transaction (6.5%) | Processing | Total Etsy takes (incl. GST) | Effective % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₹830.00 | ₹17.00 | ₹53.95 | ₹66.50 | ₹165.03 | 19.9% |
| ₹2,075.00 | ₹17.00 | ₹134.88 | ₹128.75 | ₹338.24 | 16.3% |
| ₹4,150.00 | ₹17.00 | ₹269.75 | ₹232.50 | ₹626.92 | 15.1% |
| ₹8,300.00 | ₹17.00 | ₹539.50 | ₹440.00 | ₹1,204.27 | 14.5% |
Shipping you charge the buyer is part of the order total, so a ₹2,000 item with ₹400 shipping is calculated on ₹2,400, not ₹2,000. The calculator above handles that automatically.
Which Etsy fee do Indian sellers underestimate most?
GST on fees. It never appears in US-focused advice, yet it adds nearly a fifth to every Etsy fee you pay. A fee stack that looks like 11.8% is really about 13.9% after GST, and that gap is pure margin.
Second is the payment processing fee itself: at 5% + ₹25, Indian shops pay a heavier processing rate than US or UK shops. Add the 12% or 15% Offsite Ads fee on ad orders, and stress-testing your price is not optional. Use the toggle above to check the 12% case.
