What do you want to earn?

+

Make sure nothing is missing

You don’t need to fill every box. Open the costs that apply to your business. An amount set to 0 is not included.

Etsy fees & Offsite AdsOpen settings +

The US example uses 6.5% transaction fees, 3% + $0.25 payment processing, and $0.20 listing allocation. Other countries need their own processing fees.

Discounts, extra charges & buyer taxOpen settings +

A sale discount reduces the item price. Shipping and extra charges remain separate.

Extra supplier costsOpen settings +

Enter only costs not already included in the quote above.

Advertising, subscriptions & returnsOpen settings +

These costs can turn an apparently profitable product into a loss. Allocate realistic amounts to each sale.

Currency conversion, payouts & tax on feesOpen settings +

These depend on your payment account, bank, currency and tax status. Copy your actual charges.

Before calculating: check that your supplier quote includes tax and shipping, and that the fee settings match your Etsy account.

How the calculation works

What this calculator includes — and what you must verify

Single-item, single-unit orders only. No automatic account access, live supplier prices, location tax engine or automatic rate updates. Etsy presets were checked on 15 October 2026; supplier prices and Amazon royalties must come from your current quote. Etsy processing fees differ by bank country. Regulatory fees, seller fee tax, payment-provider fees and currency costs depend on your account.

Sales tax collected and remitted by the marketplace is excluded from seller revenue, while processing fees may still apply to it. Seller-remitted VAT embedded in the selling price is deducted separately. Income tax is not estimated. Payment reserves delay cash; they are not fees. Model supplier prepayment separately from marketplace payout timing.

Discount applies to the product list price only. Shipping and gift-wrap charges are additional revenue. Additional buyer tax is modeled as a percentage of this combined amount. For different tax bases, use a separate scenario. Currency conversion is modeled on gross seller revenue; confirm the actual conversion base and use the extra adjustment for discrepancies. Withdrawal fee applies to positive proceeds after marketplace fees and embedded VAT, before supplier costs. This is a planning model; reconcile against actual statements.
