Fee breakdown
| Line item | Formula | Amount |

The calculator starts with buyer-paid revenue, subtracts Etsy fees, then subtracts your product, shipping, and ad costs. It is designed to answer the practical seller question: "Will this order actually make money?"
It includes the listing fee, Etsy's transaction fee, Etsy Payments processing fee, optional Offsite Ads, optional Etsy Ads cost, and region-specific regulatory operating fee when configured.
Offsite Ads can turn a profitable-looking product into a loss when the margin is thin. The switch lets you model the sale both with and without the attributed ad fee before you commit to a price.
If your margin is too low, use the target-margin slider. It estimates the item price needed to cover the selected fee profile, costs, shipping settings, and advertising risk.
Rate sources
This tool uses publicly documented Etsy fee rules as of June 26, 2026. Listing fees are modeled as a quick estimate because Etsy may convert USD-based fees for non-USD sellers. Always re-check rates before relying on the calculator for business decisions.
Estimate disclaimer
MarginDesk models common Etsy seller fees so you can pressure-test pricing before listing or repricing a product. Actual charges may differ because Etsy can apply currency conversion, tax/VAT/GST handling, international payment processing rates, refunds, shipping label charges, subscription fees, listing renewals, or other account-specific adjustments.
For final bookkeeping, tax filing, or dispute decisions, compare the result with your Etsy Payment account, Etsy's current fee pages, and advice from a qualified accountant or tax professional.
No. MarginDesk is an independent educational tool and is not endorsed by Etsy, Inc.
Yes. Etsy's transaction fee applies to the order amount that includes the item price and shipping charged to the buyer.
Low-priced products can be squeezed by fixed fees, production cost, shipping cost, and Offsite Ads. Negative profit means the modeled order loses money after the selected costs and fees.
The tax field is included because payment processing can be assessed on the payment amount. Tax rules vary by country, so treat this as an estimate rather than tax advice.
