Enter your monthly orders and average order value. The calculator subtracts every Etsy fee and your product costs to show monthly and yearly profit — and the margin you're actually running.
| Monthly breakdown | Amount |
|---|---|
| Gross revenue | — |
| Etsy fees (transaction + processing + Offsite Ads) | — |
| Listing fees (active listings) | — |
| Item + shipping costs | — |
| Net profit | — |
Estimates only. Yearly figure is 12× the monthly result. Taxes, refunds, and subscriptions are not included.
Revenue is what buyers pay; profit is what you keep. On Etsy the gap is bigger than most new sellers expect, because fees apply to the whole order total and stack on top of your product costs. A shop doing $1,800/month in sales can easily net under $700 once fees, materials, and shipping are accounted for.
| Layer | Rate | Applies per |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | $0.20 | Listing (renews every 4 months) |
| Transaction fee | 6.5% of order total | Sale |
| Payment processing | 3% + $0.25 (US) | Sale |
| Offsite Ads | 15% / 12% | Ad-driven sale only |
Because listing and fixed processing fees barely move with order size, a higher average order value lifts your margin — the same fixed costs spread across more dollars. Bundles and upsells are the fastest way to raise it.
Aim for 30%+ net margin. Below 20%, one refund or an Offsite Ads sale can erase the profit from several orders. Use the single-sale fee calculator to price individual items and the fees guide for every rate and five ways to cut fees.
Orders × average order value = revenue. Subtract Etsy fees (listing, 6.5% transaction, 3% + $0.25 processing, any Offsite Ads) and your item and shipping costs. The remainder is monthly profit; ×12 is the yearly figure.
Aim for 30%+ after all fees and costs. Under 20% is risky — one refund or an ad-driven sale can wipe out several orders' profit.
Usually yes — percentage fees scale with value while fixed fees stay flat, so the same fixed costs spread across more dollars.
