Your country & fee rates
Defaults are Etsy's published US rates for 2026. Some countries also pay a regulatory operating fee — add it to the transaction fee if it applies to you.
| Fee | Amount |
|---|
Quick answer
For a typical US sale Etsy charges a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on item price plus shipping, and 3% + $0.25 payment processing — roughly 10% of the order. Sales from Offsite Ads add another 12–15%. A $25 order with no shipping costs about $2.83 in fees.
Every Etsy fee explained
| Fee | US rate (2026) | Charged on |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | $0.20 | Each listing; renews every 4 months or when the item sells |
| Transaction fee | 6.5% | Item price + shipping + gift wrap (not sales tax) |
| Payment processing | 3% + $0.25 | The full order total, including shipping and sales tax |
| Offsite Ads | 15% (12% for shops over $10,000/yr) | Only orders that come from an Offsite Ad click |
| Etsy Ads (optional) | Your daily budget | Clicks on promoted listings inside Etsy |
Rates change and vary by country. Always confirm on Etsy's official Fees & Payments Policy — the "Edit fee rates" panel above lets you match any rate.
How Etsy fees are calculated
Total fees = $0.20 + 6.5% × (Price + Shipping) + 3% × (Price + Shipping + Sales tax) + $0.25
Profit = Price + Shipping − Total fees − Item cost − Your shipping cost
Worked example
You sell a print for $25 with free shipping. Listing $0.20 + transaction $1.63 + processing $1.00 = $2.83 in fees. If the print costs you $6 to make, you keep about $16.18, a 64.7% margin. If the same sale came from an Offsite Ad at 15%, Etsy would take another $3.75 — your profit drops to about $12.43. And if the buyer pays 7% sales tax, processing is charged on $26.75 instead of $25, adding about $0.05 more in fees.
How to price on Etsy so fees don't eat your profit
- Price from margin, not from cost. Enter a target margin above and use the suggested price instead of guessing.
- Remember fees apply to shipping too. The 6.5% transaction fee includes the shipping you charge, so build shipping into your numbers.
- Plan for Offsite Ads. Shops under $10,000 a year can opt out; larger shops can't. Make sure a 12–15% hit on some orders still leaves profit.
- Check the break-even price. Never list below it — every sale under that number loses money.
- Compare with markup. Use the markup calculator to see what multiple of cost you're charging.
