Estimate profit on an Etsy order

The number Etsy deposits is not the same as profit. Enter an item price, shipping charged to the buyer, quantity, and a combined cost per item. The calculator subtracts estimated Etsy fees and your cost, then shows profit and margin on the order total.

Build your cost number first

Add the materials used for one item, packaging, labor at a rate you choose, and the shipping you pay. Include any other per-item cost that belongs to the order. If shipping costs apply to the whole order rather than each item, allocate them deliberately; the calculator multiplies the cost field by quantity.

The fee model uses US payment processing at 3% plus $0.25, a 6.5% transaction fee, and a $0.20 listing fee per item. You can select an Offsite Ads rate for an attributed sale. Etsy’s policy and payment schedule are the source for current rates.

Read the result as an estimate

Margin here is profit divided by item price plus shipping charged. It is not a prediction of monthly income: fixed overhead, returns, taxes, and ads outside the selected Offsite Ads fee are not included. If the result is negative, check the inputs before raising a price. For a target price based on a desired margin, use the margin calculator.
