Etsy Fee Calculator

What are all the Etsy fees?

Etsy charges 4 main fees: (1) Listing fee — $0.20 per listing, renewed every 4 months (or when sold). (2) Transaction fee — 6.5% of the sale price including shipping. (3) Payment processing — 3% + $0.25 per transaction (US). (4) Offsite Ads fee — 12–15% of sales driven by Etsy's offsite ads. Optional: Etsy Plus ($10/month) gives 15 credits for listings and other perks.

How do Etsy Offsite Ads work?

Etsy promotes your listings on Google, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Bing. If a buyer clicks an offsite ad and purchases within 30 days, Etsy charges you 15% (optional sellers) or 12% (mandatory — sellers with $10k+ annual sales). You can't control which items are promoted or on which platforms.

Is Etsy Plus worth it?

Etsy Plus costs $10/month and includes 15 listing credits ($3 value), $5 Etsy Ads credit, customised shop URL, restock notifications for sold-out items, and discounts on custom packaging. It's only worth it if you use the listing credits and URL feature regularly — most sellers with under 100 monthly sales don't benefit enough to justify the cost.

Why does Etsy charge a transaction fee on shipping?

Since 2022, Etsy charges its 6.5% transaction fee on the total order amount including shipping. This changed from only charging on the item price. It means sellers who charge shipping separately pay more in fees than those who offer "free shipping" (and build it into the item price). Many sellers now use free shipping with higher item prices to control how fees are calculated.
