Etsy Fee Calculator (2026 Updated Rates)
Etsy fees stack four layers: a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on item price + shipping, a 3% + $0.25 payment processing fee on the tax-inclusive total, and — for many shops — a mandatory 12-15% Offsite Ads surcharge. The effective take rate on a typical order lands between 10% and 25%.

Etsy fee formula & hidden costs
$0.20 listing + 6.5% transaction + 3% + $0.25 payment; payment processing 3.00% + $0.25; $0.20 fixed per-order fee
Worked example: $100.00 gross → $9.95 fees → $90.05 net. Reverse gross-up: charge = (target + fixed) / (1 − rate) → to net $100.00 charge $111.00.
Hidden fees to watch
- Offsite Ads are mandatory once you pass $10k/year: 12-15% of the order total, capped at $100.
- The 3% + $0.25 payment fee applies to the tax-inclusive total, so buyers in sales-tax states cost you slightly more.
- The $0.20 listing fee renews every 4 months or on every sale for multi-quantity listings.
- Currency conversion adds ~2.5% if your shop currency differs from your bank currency.

Frequently asked questions
What are Etsy seller fees on a $100 sale (US)?
$0.20 listing + 6.5% transaction ($6.50) + 3% + $0.25 payment ($3.25) = $9.95 total fees, leaving you $90.05. If the order came via Offsite Ads, add 15% and the total jumps to $24.95.
Does Etsy charge fees on shipping and sales tax?
The 6.5% transaction fee applies to item price + shipping (not tax). The 3% + $0.25 payment fee applies to the tax-inclusive total, so on an 8% tax state you pay payment fees on the tax too.
How much should I list an item for to net $90 after Etsy fees?
With no offsite ads the combined deduction is roughly 9.7%: $90 / (1 - 0.097) ≈ $99.67. Use the reverse mode above for an exact penny-perfect amount.
When does Offsite Ads become mandatory?
Once your shop earns $10,000 in a rolling 12-month period, Offsite Ads enrollment is mandatory and attributed orders pay 12% (15% under the threshold) on the order total, capped at $100.
How much does Etsy take on a $10 item?
Listing $0.20 + transaction $0.65 + payment ($0.55) = $1.40 — 14%. The fixed $0.20 + $0.25 components hurt most on low-priced items.
Does Etsy Plus make listings free?
Etsy Plus costs $10/month and includes 15 listing credits per month — effectively covering $3 of listing fees. Toggle it on above to zero out the listing fee line.
