Etsy Fee Calculator

Use this calculator when you need a practical Etsy fee and pricing view before listing, repricing manually, or quoting a handmade SKU.

The goal is not to be a marketplace policy engine. The goal is to make the fee logic editable and the profit impact obvious.

Use the Etsy fee calculator

Etsy-specific starter assumptions with full manual control.
Break-even and target price outputs, not just fee totals.
Built for sellers who need transparent SKU economics, not dashboard complexity.

How this is calculated

Percentage fees apply to selling price after the selected tax display mode is normalized.
Platform fixed fees, listing fees, payment fixed fees, and fixed ad costs are added as per-unit planning lines.
Ad cost can be modeled either as a percentage of selling price or as a fixed unit amount.
Returns allowance is modeled as a percentage buffer and should be treated as an estimate only.
Break-even price solves the price where net revenue covers unit cost, fixed fees, and percentage-based channel costs.
Target price uses the stricter available result from target margin and target markup, so the recommendation does not quietly ignore one goal.
Target markup applies profit to the SKU unit cost first, then recovers fixed channel fees and percentage-based costs.
Gross margin is shown after direct unit cost; contribution margin is shown after direct unit cost and percentage-based channel costs.
Net margin is shown after direct unit cost, percentage-based channel costs, and fixed per-order fees.
Landed cost is a planning add-on only; duty and tax assumptions should be reviewed before commercial import decisions.
