Every product you publish costs $0.20. The listing stays active for four months, then auto-renews for another $0.20. If you use variations within a single listing, you still only pay once.
Etsy takes 6.5% of the total sale — and that includes the shipping you charge the buyer. This is the fee that catches most new sellers off guard. If you sell a $20 item with $5 shipping, the 6.5% applies to the full $25.
Etsy processes the payment and charges for it. The exact rate varies by country, which is why this calculator lets you pick your region. Like the transaction fee, it applies to the total including shipping.
Etsy runs ads for your shop on Google, Facebook, and other platforms. When a sale comes from one of those ads, Etsy takes 12-15%. Shops under $10,000 in annual sales can opt out. Once you cross $10,000 in a 365-day window, enrollment becomes mandatory and you cannot opt out.
To price a product correctly on Etsy, work backwards from the profit you want:
Price = (Product Cost + Shipping Cost + Desired Profit) ÷ 0.82
The 0.82 accounts for roughly 18% in combined Etsy fees. If a product costs you $8 to make, $5 to ship, and you want $10 profit, you'd price it at ($8 + $5 + $10) ÷ 0.82 = about $28.
