Etsy does not take one fee from a sale; it takes several that stack. This Etsy fee calculator adds up the listing fee, transaction fee, payment processing fee and, if the order came through Offsite Ads, the advertising fee, then subtracts your product and shipping costs to show real profit. It uses Etsy’s 2026 rates for US sellers.
Etsy Fees For US Sellers In 2026
| Fee | Rate | Charged On |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | $0.20 | Each listing, renewed every four months or when it sells |
| Transaction fee | 6.5% | Item price plus shipping and gift wrap |
| Payment processing | 3% + $0.25 | Order total |
| Offsite Ads | 15% or 12% | Orders attributed to Etsy’s off-site ads, capped at $100 |
Rates are from Etsy’s Fees and Payments Policy. Sellers outside the US pay different processing rates, and some countries add a regulatory operating fee.
Worked Example
Sell a $100 item with free shipping and Etsy takes $9.95: $0.20 to list, $6.50 in transaction fees and $3.25 in payment processing. That is close to 10% before advertising. If the same sale came through Offsite Ads at 15%, fees rise to $24.95, almost a quarter of the order.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee and the payment processing fee both apply to the shipping you charge the buyer, so moving cost from the item price into shipping does not reduce fees.
Can I opt out of Offsite Ads?
Shops with less than $10,000 in sales over the past 12 months can opt out. Once a shop passes $10,000, participation is required, but the fee drops to 12%.
How should I price to cover Etsy fees?
Start from your full cost, add the markup you need, then check the result in this calculator. Our markup calculator shows how markup turns into margin.
