    How it works

    Methodology & formulas

    This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.

    Calculation steps

    1. 1Etsy fees = attributedRevenue × (transaction% + processing%)/100 + processingFixed × orderCount.
    2. 2Product and fulfillment = attributedRevenue × (productCost% + shippingCost%)/100.
    3. 3Total cost = adSpend + etsyFees + productAndFulfillment.
    4. 4Net profit from ads = attributedRevenue − totalCost.
    5. 5ROAS = attributedRevenue / adSpend.
    6. 6ROI = (netProfitFromAds / adSpend) × 100.
    7. 7Break-even ROAS = 1 / (1 - (transaction%+processing%+product%+shipping%)/100).

    Formulas

    • EtsyFees = revenue × (txn% + proc%)/100 + fixed × orders
    • Fulfillment = revenue × (product% + ship%)/100
    • TotalCost = adSpend + etsyFees + fulfillment
    • NetProfit = revenue − totalCost
    • ROAS = revenue / adSpend
    • ROI = netProfit / adSpend × 100
    • BreakEvenROAS = 1 / (1 − costRate)

    Important assumptions

    • Attributed revenue is taken from Etsy Ads dashboard for same period as ad spend.
    • Etsy fees on ad orders use transaction + payment percentages applied to attributed revenue plus fixed fee per ad order.
    • Product and shipping costs are modeled as percent of attributed revenue for quick what-if analysis.
    • Break-even ROAS simplifies to 1 / (1 - fee% - cost%) ignoring fixed per-order fee for readability; full net profit calc includes fixed fee.
    • Results are estimates — confirm attribution window and fee rates in your Etsy account.

    Worked example

    $100 ads drives $350 revenue

    $100 ad spend, $350 attributed revenue across 10 orders. 30% product cost, 12% shipping, 6.5% transaction, 3% processing, $0.25 fixed.

    Etsy fees about $35.75, fulfillment $147, total cost $282.75, net $67.25, ROAS 3.5×, ROI 67.25%, break-even ROAS about 2.04×. Healthy — you beat break-even with margin to spare.
