These are Etsy’s standard published fee rates, not your account’s actual invoice. Rates vary by country and Etsy updates them from time to time, so treat this as a close working estimate and check Etsy’s own fee policy for the exact number on any real sale.

Why the sticker price isn’t what you keep

Etsy charges several fees on every sale: a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on the total the buyer pays (including shipping), and a payment processing fee that varies by country. Add them up and Etsy typically keeps somewhere around a fifth to a quarter of the order, before you even count Offsite Ads. Pricing without knowing that number is how sellers end up working for less than they think.

Digital products pay the same fees as physical ones

There’s no shipping cost to factor in, but the listing fee, transaction fee and payment processing fee apply the same way to a digital download as to a handmade item. If you’re pricing a printable or template, this calculator is exactly as relevant as it would be for a physical product.

Fees only matter once buyers are actually choosing your listing. If you’re getting views but not sales, the fee isn’t the problem, read you can't tag your way out of a sales problem.

Common questions

What fees does Etsy charge on a sale?

A $0.20 listing fee per item sold, a 6.5% transaction fee on the total the buyer pays (including shipping), and a payment processing fee that varies by country (3% + $0.25 in the US). Sellers who opt into or are required to use Offsite Ads also pay 12-15% on sales that come through it.

What percentage does Etsy take overall?

Once you add the listing fee, transaction fee and payment processing fee together, Etsy typically keeps somewhere around a fifth to a quarter of an order, before Offsite Ads or currency conversion fees, if either applies.

Is there a free Etsy profit calculator?

Yes, this tool works as one: enter your price and it shows every fee taken out and what you actually keep as profit, editable to your own country's rates.

Do digital products pay the same Etsy fees as physical products?

Yes. Etsy charges the same listing, transaction and payment processing fees on digital downloads as on physical items. There's no shipping cost to include, but the fee percentages are the same.

Are these the exact fees I'll be charged?

They're Etsy's standard published rates, editable here so you can match your own country and situation. Etsy changes fees from time to time and runs country-specific rates, so always check Etsy's current fee policy for the final word.
