Published fee rules reviewed:
Sources and calculation assumptions. Payment processing. Regulatory operating fee. Offsite Ads fee. Tax on Etsy fees (%).
Fee review is over 30 days old. Check the official sources and your invoice before relying on this estimate.
Enter valid nonnegative amounts. Choose a buyer-tax amount or a rate, and enter a positive order value.
Other costs per order
Add only costs not already included above. Allocate subscriptions, listing renewals, expected losses and overhead using your own sales assumptions.
Fee assumptions
Use a buyer-tax amount OR rate, never both. The rate scales with price and shipping; a fixed amount stays unchanged in price scenarios. Seller tax is deducted from tax-inclusive revenue. Use costs net of recoverable tax.
Fee tax is a uniform estimate on all modelled fees. Actual taxable fee categories and tax registration can change the amount; reconcile to your Etsy invoice.
Use 2.5% only when listing and payment-account currencies differ. Enter all amounts in the displayed currency; no live currency exchange is performed.

Scenarios use your inputs and assume one completed order. Margin uses gross order revenue. These are sensitivity checks, not sales forecasts or probabilities.
One item per completed order. Use discounted prices and actual costs in the displayed currency. Presets and non-USD fee conversions are illustrative. Tax rates, currency conversion and allocated costs apply only as entered. This is an order estimate, not a tax return or payout reconciliation. Refunds, income tax and payment-provider charges are not automatically determined.
Break down Etsy seller fees on one order. See which charges follow the order value, which are fixed, and what an attributed Offsite Ads sale changes.
Calculate my estimateHow much does Etsy take from a sale?
Etsy's transaction fee is 6.5%, but that is only one deduction. Add the US$0.20 listing fee, country-specific payment processing, any regulatory operating fee, applicable fee tax and qualifying Offsite Ads. This Etsy fee calculator separates those lines instead of treating every seller's fees as one percentage.
Regional assumptions: India
Indian defaults use INR, 5% + ₹25 payment processing, a 0.05% regulatory fee and an illustrative 18% tax on Etsy fees. Listing and ad-cap conversions are adjustable examples. Payoneer, currency conversion, withholding and seller-remitted tax are outside the automatic estimate.
India's regulatory operating fee is 0.05% in the linked Etsy schedule. Payment processing is 5% + ₹25. The ₹17 listing default is illustrative; compare it with Etsy's actual conversion of the US$0.20 charge.
Order revenue − Etsy fees − entered costs = estimated profit. Margin = estimated profit ÷ order revenue × 100.
Etsy fee calculator examples by order value
The table uses this region's default rates and one item per order. Fixed charges make the effective fee percentage higher on lower-priced orders. The total includes default regulatory fees and fee tax where applicable, even though the listing, transaction and processing columns show only their own components.
| Sale price | Listing | Transaction (6.5%) | Processing | Total Etsy takes (incl. GST) | Effective % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₹830.00 | ₹17.00 | ₹53.95 | ₹66.50 | ₹162.68 | 19.6% |
| ₹2,075.00 | ₹17.00 | ₹134.88 | ₹128.75 | ₹332.36 | 16.0% |
| ₹4,150.00 | ₹17.00 | ₹269.75 | ₹232.50 | ₹615.16 | 14.8% |
| ₹8,300.00 | ₹17.00 | ₹539.50 | ₹440.00 | ₹1,180.77 | 14.2% |

Table uses the default assumptions, one item, no buyer tax and no Offsite Ads unless shown. Editing the calculator does not change this example.
For the detailed fee bases and exceptions, consult Etsy's Fees & Payments Policy. The table is an estimate with no separate buyer tax or advertising charge; use the controls above to change those assumptions.
A fee is defined by its base as well as its rate
Transaction fees generally use item price plus shipping and gift wrapping. Payment processing also includes applicable buyer sales tax. Separately collected tax is not your revenue, but it can still increase the processing deduction. Enter that amount in the additional buyer-tax field rather than adding it to your item price.
The calculator models one item and one listing charge. Multi-item baskets, unsold listing renewals and account-level charges need separate attention. A monthly bill therefore should not be expected to equal one calculator result multiplied by the number of orders.
What does a ₹8,300.00 India order cost in fees?
The example has ₹17.00 listing, ₹539.50 transaction, ₹440.00 processing and ₹4.15 regulatory charges. Estimated tax on these fees is ₹180.12, making the total ₹1,180.77. Adding ₹664.00 of separately collected buyer tax changes the estimated total to ₹1,219.94 through payment processing. These INR examples use one item, 5% + ₹25.00 payment processing, 0.05% regulatory fees and an assumed 18% tax on modelled Etsy fees. The baseline has no separately collected buyer tax, seller-remitted tax or conversion charge entered. Listing and ad-cap conversions are illustrative; adjust them and fee tax to your invoice.
Selecting 15% Offsite Ads without the additional buyer tax changes estimated fees to ₹2,649.87. The transaction percentage stays 6.5%; advertising and its estimated fee tax explain the increase. Reconcile each charge against the payment account rather than applying one universal percentage.
Offsite Ads: attribution, thresholds and the order cap
Etsy's Offsite Ads rules distinguish the 15% rate and the 12% rate for shops that qualify through the US$10,000 sales threshold. Participation can be opted out of below the threshold while eligible; after qualification, participation and the 12% rate generally continue for the shop's lifetime.
An attributed order has a US$100 advertising-fee cap. The calculator applies that cap before estimated tax on fees. For non-USD pages, the converted cap is an editable assumption; Etsy's exchange rate on the actual transaction can differ. Etsy Ads click spend is a separate expense.
Reconcile an order before reconciling a month
Take one completed order and note the discounted item value, buyer-paid shipping and any separately collected tax. Compare the listing, transaction, processing, regulatory and ad lines with the payment account. A difference in payment processing often comes from the taxable payment base or an international-order rate.
Then review account-level entries: renewals on unsold listings, subscriptions, advertising spend, conversion fees, refunds, deposit charges or older balances. These entries explain why the bank deposit is not a clean measure of a single order's fees.
Which deductions need a separate allowance?
Enter an applicable currency-conversion percentage in Fee assumptions. Shop-opening charges, Etsy Plus, deposit fees and other provider charges need your own allocation to order costs. Etsy's policy lists a 2.5% conversion charge when its qualifying currency-conversion conditions apply; using a different display currency as a buyer is not enough to establish that a seller owes it.
Use the Etsy profit calculator when the decision includes materials and delivery. Use the Etsy pricing calculator when you need a price that covers fees and a chosen margin. A fee-only result cannot show whether a product is profitable.
