Should I include shipping in sale amount?

Include shipping when your fee schedule applies transaction fees to item price plus shipping.

Are Etsy Ads included?

No. Add advertising cost in a separate profit worksheet such as the dropshipping or profit margin calculators.

Is this an official Etsy tool?

No. It is an educational fee arithmetic calculator.

How to Estimate Etsy Seller Fees

Enter the sale you are modeling and the fee rows from Etsy’s published schedule that apply to your shop.

Choose a display currency.

Shipping in the base

If Etsy applies transaction fees to item price plus shipping, include shipping in the sale amount.

What the Fee Total Means

Platform fees combine transaction percent and listing fixed fee. Payment fees combine processing percent and fixed fee. Both layers use the same sale amount. Net proceeds are sale minus total fees.
