Estimate for a US-based seller, using the rates on Etsy's own fee pages (checked November 2026). Etsy changes its fees from time to time — for the final word, check Etsy's official Fees & Payments policy and your own payment account.
Tired of tracking this by hand every month? One sale is three or four fee lines. A month of sales is hundreds — spread across Etsy's payment account, your bank, and your card statements. Ren Studio's bookkeeping for sellers sorts all of it for you: every Etsy fee and payout matched to your statements, and one clear page by the 10th showing what your shop actually made. From $149/month, no contract. See how it works →
Every fee in this calculator, and what it's charged on
| Fee | Rate (US seller) | Charged on |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | $0.20 | Each listing when it's published, and again every 4 months when it renews. Sell extra quantities of one listing in a single order and it's another $0.20 per extra item. |
| Transaction fee | 6.5% | The whole order total — item price plus the shipping you charge, plus gift wrap if you charge for it. |
| Payment processing (Etsy Payments) | 3% + $0.25 | The whole order total, once per order. The flat $0.25 is why very cheap items lose a bigger share to fees. |
| Offsite Ads fee (only some sales) | 15%, or 12% once your shop has made $10,000+ in the last 365 days | The order total, only when the buyer found you through one of Etsy's ads on another site. Never more than $100 on a single order — this calculator applies that cap. |
| Regulatory operating fee | None for US sellers | Etsy charges this only in some countries — Canada 0.50%, UK 0.48%, France 1.14%, Italy 0.80%, Spain 0.88%, Hungary 1.97%, Türkiye 1.67%, India 0.05%, Vietnam 1.24% of the order total. The US is not on the list. |
| Currency conversion (not in the calculator) | 2.5% | Only if you list in a different currency from your bank account's currency. List in your own currency and this fee never happens. |
Rates read from Etsy's seller help pages on November 3, 2026: the fee overview, the payment-processing table (United States row: 3% + 0.25 USD), and the regulatory operating fee page. Fees change — Etsy raised the UK regulatory fee as recently as June 2026 — so if a number here ever disagrees with your payment account, your account wins.
Frequently asked questions
Why does Etsy take fees out of my shipping charge too?
Because the two big percentage fees — the 6.5% transaction fee and the Etsy Payments processing fee — are charged on the whole order total: item price plus the shipping you charge the buyer (plus gift wrap, if you charge for it). Charge $5 shipping on a $25 item and the percentages run on $30, not $25. That's the single most common reason a payout comes in smaller than a seller expected.
Do US sellers pay Etsy's regulatory operating fee?
No. As of November 2026 the regulatory operating fee only applies to sellers based in Canada (0.50%), the United Kingdom (0.48%), France (1.14%), Italy (0.80%), Spain (0.88%), Hungary (1.97%), Türkiye (1.67%), India (0.05%) and Vietnam (1.24%). The United States is not on Etsy's list, so this calculator doesn't subtract it. If you sell from one of those countries, add that percentage of the order total to the fees above.
I sold two of one item — why is there more than one $0.20 charge?
The $0.20 listing fee covers the listing itself. When a buyer takes extra quantities of the same listing in one order, Etsy charges another $0.20 for each additional item — that's the "auto-renew sold" fee, because the listing effectively renews for each extra unit sold. This calculator multiplies the $0.20 by your quantity for exactly that reason.
How much does Etsy take from a $30 sale?
For a US seller: a $25 item with $5 shipping is a $30 order total. Listing fee $0.20, transaction fee $1.95 (6.5% of $30), processing $1.15 (3% of $30 plus $0.25) — $3.30 in total, 11% of what the buyer paid, before your own shipping and item costs. If the sale came through an Offsite Ad, add another 15% ($4.50) and Etsy keeps $7.80. Try it above: price 25, shipping charged 5.
My actual deposit was smaller than this calculator says. Why?
A few usual suspects. Sales tax Etsy collects from the buyer passes through your payment account and back out — it's in the total, then subtracted, and never yours. Refunds claw fees back. Etsy Ads spend, postage labels bought through Etsy, and any negative balance from a quiet month are settled from the same account. And if you list in a currency different from your bank account's currency, Etsy takes a 2.5% currency conversion fee on top of everything here.
Know your fees. Then stop adding them up yourself.
This calculator handles one sale. Your month has dozens or hundreds, each with its own little stack of fees, and the only way to know what the shop really earned is to sort every one of them. That's the job Ren Studio's bookkeeping does for sellers — statements in, one clear page out by the 10th, from $149/month with no contract.
