Etsy Profit Calculator
Estimate Etsy seller profit by combining marketplace-style fees with product cost, shipping cost, advertising cost, and optional custom fee overrides. Inputs stay in your browser and are not sent to a server.
What this calculator does
Model an Etsy sale using customer payment, shipping charged, product cost, shipping cost, and ad cost.
Show estimated amount received, net profit, profit margin, and effective fee rate.
Compare Etsy against PayPal, Stripe, and eBay using the same sale inputs.
How seller fees are usually calculated
Marketplace fees can include transaction fees, payment processing fees, listing-related costs, advertising, regulatory fees, and tax handling.
The exact Etsy fee can differ by seller location, buyer location, listing currency, optional ad programs, and payment method.
Because marketplace fee rules are layered, this MVP keeps unverified rates out of fee rules until manual review is complete.
Formula explanation
Estimated profit = customer pays + shipping charged - Etsy-style fees - product cost - shipping cost - ad cost.
Reverse fee mode estimates the customer charge needed to reach a target received amount. Platform comparison mode applies the same sale inputs across PayPal, Stripe, Etsy, and eBay.
Example calculation
For US Etsy sellers, a USD 100.00 sample with one listing renewal estimates USD 9.95 in fees and USD 90.05 after fees.
Sample values are for explaining the math only. They are not official platform fee rates unless the source status on the page marks the matching rule as verified.
Use the fields above to model shipping charged, product cost, shipping cost, ad cost, listing renewals, and custom fee assumptions that differ from the simple US sample.
Custom fee override
Use custom fee override to enter a fee formula from an Etsy statement, official policy review, or your own manually checked model.
If the selected source data has not been manually verified, the result card asks for a custom fee rate instead of showing zero fees as a real estimate.
Custom override supports percentage fee, fixed fee, extra international percentage, currency conversion percentage, and an additional manual fee amount.

FAQ
How are seller fees calculated?
Etsy fees are usually estimated from the gross sale amount, fixed charges, optional international or conversion charges, and any custom fee amount you enter.
Why can the actual fee differ from this estimate?
Actual fees can differ because platforms may use account-specific pricing, card type, buyer location, category, dispute, refund, tax, subscription, promotion, or custom pricing rules.
Does this calculator include international fees?
International Etsy costs can depend on buyer location, listing currency, payment processing, tax handling, and seller programs. Use custom override until country-specific rules are reviewed.
Does this calculator include currency conversion?
Currency conversion is not assumed unless reviewed data supports it. For listings sold in a different currency, use a custom fee override based on a checked fee amount.
Does this calculator include VAT or sales tax?
US sales tax is not included as verified platform fee data in this estimate. Do not use the result for US tax filing. Confirm sales tax and income reporting with official sources or a qualified professional.
Can I enter my own custom fee rate?
Yes. Turn on custom fee override to enter a percentage fee, fixed fee, extra international fee, currency conversion fee, additional manual fee, and note.
