How does the listing fee work?
A standard listing currently costs — and lasts up to four months unless sold. Multi-quantity listings can create additional listing or auto-renew-sold charges, and the original listing, additional quantities, and renewals may appear at different times in your Payment account.

Once a shop reaches — USD or more in any consecutive 365-day period, the attributed-order fee becomes — and participation is required for the lifetime of the shop. The fee is capped at — per order.
How are Offsite Ads attributed?
An order can be attributed when a buyer clicks an Offsite Ad and purchases from your shop within Etsy's current —-day attribution window. Under Etsy's Last Click Attribution rule, if the buyer's last ad click before purchase is an Etsy Ad, only the Etsy Ads attribution applies rather than an Offsite Ads fee for that order. This calculator does not apply an Offsite Ads fee unless you explicitly select an attributed order.
What is the difference between Etsy Ads and Offsite Ads?
Offsite Ads use Etsy's published percentage fee only on orders Etsy attributes to Offsite Ads. Etsy Ads are a separate on-site CPC service, so this calculator accepts the actual Etsy Ads cost you allocate to the order instead of inventing a sales percentage. If Etsy reports an Etsy Ad as the buyer's final ad click before purchase, Etsy's Last Click Attribution rule says only the Etsy Ads attribution applies; do not also select an Offsite Ads fee for that same attribution.
Does Etsy charge a currency conversion fee?
When your listing currency differs from your Payment account currency, Etsy currently applies a — currency conversion fee to the sale amount. For this US/USD page, conversion is off by default.
FAQ
Is selling on Etsy profitable?
It can be, but profitability depends on item price, product cost, shipping, Etsy fees, advertising, returns, and your target margin. Use the calculator with your own costs rather than relying on a universal margin assumption.
Are transaction fees and payment processing the same fee?
No. Etsy's transaction fee and Etsy Payments processing fee are separate charges with different fee bases. Offsite Ads and listing fees are separate again.
Why is buyer sales tax excluded from seller revenue?
Buyer sales tax can be part of the gross amount used for payment processing, but it is not treated here as product revenue that the seller keeps.
When is the lower Offsite Ads rate used?
If a shop has always remained below — USD in any consecutive 365-day period, the attributed-order rate is — and the shop may opt out under Etsy's current policy. Once the shop reaches — USD or more in any consecutive 365-day period, the rate becomes — and participation is required for the lifetime of the shop.
Does this calculator include Etsy shop setup fees or Etsy Plus?
No automatic per-order setup or Etsy Plus charge is added. Those costs are seller-specific or subscription-based; use Other allocated fixed cost if you want to distribute them across orders.
