Etsy fees, line by line
Etsy takes several separate fees from each sale. This calculator applies the published rates for the US, UK, Germany, France, Ireland and Australia, then subtracts your own product and postage costs to show what you really keep.

| Transaction fee | 6.5% | Item price + shipping + gift wrap |
| Payment processing – US | 3% + $0.25 | Order total including tax |
| Payment processing – UK | 4% + £0.20 | Order total |
| Payment processing – Germany, France, Ireland | 4% + €0.30 | Order total |
| Payment processing – Australia | 3% + A$0.25 domestic, 4% + A$0.25 international | Order total |
| Regulatory operating fee | UK 0.48%, France 1.14% | Item price + shipping + gift wrap |
| VAT on Etsy's fees | UK 20%, Germany 19%, France 20%, Ireland 23%, Australia 10% GST, US none | The fees above (business sellers may be able to reclaim it) |

How the calculation works
Processing = Rate × (Item + Shipping + Sales tax) + Fixed fee
Regulatory fee = Rate × (Item + Shipping)
VAT on fees = VAT rate × (all Etsy fees)
You keep = Item + Shipping − Etsy fees − Your item cost − Your postage
For non-US shops, Etsy charges its fees on the price including the VAT you must charge. This calculator treats the price you enter as your revenue. If you are VAT-registered, take the VAT you owe off the result separately.
Ways to keep more of each Etsy sale
- Shipping is subject to the 6.5% fee too, so pricing shipping below cost doesn't save you any fees.
- The fixed processing fee hurts cheap items most. A £3 printable loses a much bigger share to fees than a £30 one, so think about bundles.
- If you sell on your own store too, compare it with the Stripe vs PayPal fee calculator.
