How much does Etsy charge sellers in the United States?

Etsy currently publishes a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee, and a U.S. Etsy Payments processing fee of 3% plus $0.25 per order. Offsite Ads can add 15% or 12% to an attributed order, capped at $100, and listing/payment currency conversion can add 2.5%. Seller services, taxes on fees, shipping labels, subscriptions, and account adjustments can apply separately.

What amount is Etsy's 6.5% transaction fee based on?

For a U.S. seller, Etsy applies 6.5% to the item price plus shipping and gift wrap charged to the buyer. U.S. sales tax is excluded from that transaction-fee base. Personalization included in the displayed item price is part of item revenue and should be included in the item price entered.

Does Etsy payment processing include sales tax?

Yes. Etsy's Payments Policy says the processing fee is assessed on the gross order amount including shipping and tax where applicable. The calculator therefore includes the entered tax in U.S. processing while excluding the same pass-through tax from seller revenue, transaction fees, and U.S. Offsite Ads fees.

When is the Etsy Offsite Ads fee 12% instead of 15%?

The published standard rate is 15% for attributed orders while a shop remains below $10,000 of qualifying sales over the prior 365 days and may still opt out. Once a shop has ever met the threshold, Etsy publishes a 12% rate for attributed orders for the life of the shop. Either rate is capped at $100 for one attributed order.

Why does the calculator use a $0.20 listing fee per sold unit?

Etsy charges $0.20 when the initial listing is published and charges $0.20 for additional quantities sold through multi-quantity renewal. Allocating $0.20 to each sold unit measures order economics consistently. If the original listing fee is already expensed elsewhere, compare the allocation with the Payment Account statement when reconciling profit.

The Etsy Order Profit Formula

Seller revenue equals after-discount item price times quantity, plus shipping and gift wrap charged to the buyer. Subtract listing allocation, the 6.5% transaction fee, Etsy Payments processing, any attributed Offsite Ads fee, optional currency conversion, allocated Etsy Ads spend, product cost, fulfilment, and other order costs. Net profit divided by seller revenue gives profit margin.

Etsy Fees Use Different Bases

The U.S. transaction and Offsite Ads fees use item revenue plus charged shipping and gift wrap, excluding sales tax. U.S. payment processing uses the gross buyer payment including shipping and tax. Currency conversion is applied to the sale amount when listing currency differs from payment-account currency. Keeping those bases separate avoids the common error of multiplying one combined percentage by checkout total.

Offsite Ads Threshold and $100 Cap

An order is attributed when Etsy's offsite advertising produces the qualifying click and order under its policy. Shops below $10,000 of qualifying prior-365-day sales use 15% unless opted out. Once a shop has ever met the threshold, the published rate becomes 12% for life. The fee cannot exceed $100 on one attributed order, so large orders have a lower effective ad-fee percentage after the cap.

Listing Allocation and Multi-Quantity Sales

The first $0.20 listing charge occurs when a listing is published whether or not it sells. For a multi-quantity listing, Etsy also charges $0.20 as additional quantities sell and renew. This calculator allocates $0.20 per sold unit to show order economics. That is an economic allocation; timing in the Payment Account can differ from the order date.
