Every fee Etsy charges on a sale

Etsy's fees come in a few layers. These are the ones the calculator adds up, with the rates Etsy publishes in its Help Center (checked 20 October 2026):

  • Listing fee: US$0.20. Charged when you list, and again each time an item sells (the listing renews automatically). If a buyer takes three of the same item, you pay $0.20 for each one.
  • Transaction fee: 6.5% of the order total, including the shipping and gift wrap you charge.
  • Payment processing fee: a percentage plus a fixed amount per order, set by the country of your bank account. United States 3% + $0.25. United Kingdom 4% + £0.20. Canada and Australia 3% + 0.25 for domestic orders, 4% + 0.25 for international ones.
  • Regulatory operating fee in some countries, on item price plus shipping: UK 0.48%, Canada 0.50%, France 1.14%, Italy 0.80%, Spain 0.88%.
  • Offsite Ads fee: 15% (or 12% for shops with $10,000+ in sales over the past year) when Etsy's ad on another site brings the sale, capped at $100 an order.
  • VAT or GST on fees for sellers in the UK, Australia and many other countries who have not given Etsy a VAT number, and GST/HST for Canadian sellers.
  • Currency conversion: 2.5% if your listings are priced in a different currency from your bank account.

A worked example

A US seller sells one mug for $25 and charges $5 shipping. The order total is $30.

  • Listing fee: $0.20
  • Transaction fee: 6.5% of $30 = $1.95
  • Payment processing: 3% of $30 + $0.25 = $1.15

Etsy keeps $3.30 and pays out $26.70. If the mug cost $6 to make and $4 to post, the profit is $16.70. If the same sale had come through an Offsite Ad at 15%, another $4.50 would go, and the profit would drop to $12.20.

How to use your numbers

Most sellers price by adding a margin to their costs and forget that roughly a tenth of every order goes to Etsy before ads. Put your real costs into the calculator, then:

  1. Check your lowest-priced items. The fixed parts (the $0.20 listing fee and the $0.25 processing fee) hurt most on cheap items.
  2. Look at shipping. Fees are charged on the shipping you collect, so free shipping built into the price costs the same in fees as charging it separately.
  3. Plan for Offsite Ads. If your shop is over $10,000, you cannot opt out, so price so that a 12% ad sale is still worth making.

Fees decide what you keep; views decide whether you sell at all. If your listings are getting few views, the free listing checker shows what in your title and tags is working against you.

Questions sellers ask

How much does Etsy take per sale?

For a US seller, Etsy takes a $0.20 listing fee for each item sold, a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price plus shipping, and a payment processing fee of 3% plus $0.25. On a $25 item with $5 shipping that is $3.30, or 11% of the order. Offsite Ads, a regulatory fee in some countries and VAT on fees can add more.

Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?

Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee and the payment processing fee are both charged on the order total, which includes the shipping the buyer pays.

What is the Etsy Offsite Ads fee?

When a sale comes from an ad Etsy runs on another website, Etsy charges 15% of the order total, or 12% if your shop made $10,000 or more on Etsy in the past 365 days. The fee is never more than $100 for one order. Shops under $10,000 can opt out.

What are Etsy's payment processing fees in the UK, Canada and Australia?

They depend on where your bank account is: UK 4% + £0.20; Canada 3% + CA$0.25 for domestic orders or orders from the US, 4% + CA$0.25 for other international orders; Australia 3% + A$0.25 domestic, 4% + A$0.25 international.

What is Etsy's regulatory operating fee?

A small extra fee for sellers in some countries, charged on the item price plus shipping. As of 20 October 2026, Etsy lists the UK at 0.48% and Canada at 0.50%, among others (France 1.14%, Italy 0.80%, Spain 0.88%).

Do UK sellers pay VAT on Etsy fees?

Yes, unless you have given Etsy a VAT number. Etsy adds VAT to its seller fees for UK shops without a VAT ID; with one, you are invoiced but not charged. The calculator adds 20% for UK sellers by default; set it to 0 if you are VAT registered with Etsy.
