How are Etsy fees calculated?
Etsy takes three required fees from every sale: a 6.5% transaction fee on the order total, a payment processing fee that depends on your bank account's country (3% + $0.25 in the US) and $0.20 per listing. Some countries add a regulatory operating fee; if the sale came through Offsite Ads, a 12% or 15% ad fee is added, and VAT may be charged on the fees.
- Transaction fee (6.5%)
- Charged on the item price plus the shipping and gift wrap you charge the buyer.
- Payment processing fee
- A percentage plus a fixed amount set by your bank account's country: 3% + $0.25 in the US, 4% + £0.20 in the UK, 4% + €0.30 in euro countries. It applies to the total including any tax collected from the buyer.
- Listing fee ($0.20)
- Charged for each listing. A listing stays up for 4 months or until the item sells; it is charged again when it auto-renews.
- Regulatory operating fee
- A small percentage of the order total in countries such as the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Canada, Türkiye and Hungary (0.48% to 1.97%). There is none in the US.
- Offsite Ads fee
- Only when the sale came from Etsy's ads on other sites: 15% for shops under $10,000 in sales over the last 12 months, 12% above that; never more than $100 per order.
- Currency conversion fee (2.5%)
- Charged on the sale when your listing currency differs from your payment account currency.
- VAT on fees
- In the EU, the UK, Australia and Türkiye, Etsy adds VAT to the fees of sellers who have not given it a VAT ID (in Ireland it is added either way).

Ways to lower your Etsy fees
- List in your payment account currency so the 2.5% currency conversion fee does not apply.
- If your shop sold less than $10,000 over the last 12 months, you can opt out of Offsite Ads in your shop settings. Above that, taking part is required and the rate is 12%.
- If you sell as a business in the EU, the UK, Australia or Türkiye, give Etsy your VAT ID so it does not add VAT to your fees (except in Ireland).
- Set your price with the fees in mind: the break-even price and the price for your target margin in the calculator show what still leaves a profit after every fee.

How much does Etsy take from a sale?
For a US seller the required fees come to about 9.5% of the order total plus $0.45: a 6.5% transaction fee, 3% + $0.25 payment processing and a $0.20 listing fee. If the sale came through Offsite Ads, another 12% or 15% is added.
Does the transaction fee apply to shipping?
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee is charged on the item price plus the shipping and gift wrap you charge the buyer.
What is the regulatory operating fee?
An extra percentage Etsy charges in some countries because of the cost of operating there. It applies if your bank account is in a country such as the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, Canada or Türkiye; there is none in the US.
How accurate is the calculator?
The rates come from Etsy's official pages, but the result is an estimate. The exact amounts are in your Etsy payment account records, which Listorie reads directly.
Do individual and business sellers pay different fees?
The fee rates are the same; the difference is VAT. In countries such as the EU (except Ireland), the United Kingdom, Australia and Türkiye, Etsy adds VAT to the fees of sellers who have not given it a VAT ID. Businesses with a VAT ID on file are not charged VAT. In Ireland VAT is added either way.
Why does the shop currency matter?
If you list in a currency other than your payment account currency, Etsy charges a currency conversion fee of 2.5% of the sale. Listing in your payment account currency avoids it.
How much do I keep from a $100 Etsy sale?
For a US seller with free shipping, the required fees on a $100 sale are about $9.95 ($6.50 transaction + $3.25 payment processing + $0.20 listing), so you keep about $90.05. If the sale came from Offsite Ads at 15%, another $15 comes off and you keep about $75.05. Your item and shipping costs come off that separately.
What is the difference between Etsy Ads and Offsite Ads?
Etsy Ads promote your items inside Etsy, and you pay per click from a daily budget you set. With Offsite Ads, Etsy promotes your items on other sites; you pay only when an ad leads to a sale, and the fee comes out of that order.
Can I opt out of Offsite Ads?
Yes, if your shop sold less than $10,000 over the last 12 months: you can opt out in your shop settings at any time. Shops at $10,000 or more must take part, at 12%. Either way the fee is never more than $100 per order.
When is the listing fee charged?
Each listing costs $0.20 and stays up for 4 months or until the item sells. With auto-renew on, the listing renews and you pay $0.20 again when it expires or when you sell one unit of a listing with more than one in stock.
Does sales tax affect Etsy fees?
In the US, Etsy collects and pays sales tax itself, so it is not your income. The payment processing fee is still charged on the total including that tax. This calculator does not include sales tax.
