What this calculator does
See an estimated profit for one order after the costs and fees you enter. Revenue includes the item price and shipping charged to the buyer. Shipping expense is deducted separately. Verify all rates against your Etsy account: country, advertising, taxes on fees and currency conversion can change the actual charges.
Formula, assumptions and sources
US example: 6.5% transaction and 3% + $0.25 processing; listing $0.20. UK: enter 4% + £0.20 processing and your converted listing charge. Currency selection changes display only. Include regulatory fees, taxes on fees, currency conversion and sales-tax processing adjustments in Other fees. Verify your statement. Etsy fee policy.
