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
- 1Determine divisor: monthly = 1, standard 4-month = 4.
- 2Renewal fee monthly = activeListings × listingFeePerItem ÷ divisor.
- 3Auto-renew fee monthly = averageMonthlySales × listingFeePerItem when auto-renew enabled.
- 4Apply Etsy Plus discount if enabled: totalMonthly × 0.85.
- 5Total monthly listing cost = renewal monthly + auto-renew monthly.
- 6Annual cost = total monthly × 12.
- 7Percent of revenue = total monthly ÷ estimated monthly revenue × 100 when revenue entered.
Formulas
- RenewalMonthly = activeListings × listingFee ÷ (1 monthly, 4 standard)
- AutoRenewMonthly = monthlySales × listingFee (if enabled)
- TotalMonthly = (RenewalMonthly + AutoRenewMonthly) × (0.85 if Plus else 1)
- Annual = TotalMonthly × 12
- %Revenue = TotalMonthly ÷ estimatedRevenue × 100
Important assumptions
- Standard Etsy listing cycle is 4 months; monthly option amortizes faster renewals.
- Each sale that auto-renews incurs one listing fee unless disabled.
- Etsy Plus modeled as 15% reduction in listing fee for illustration — actual Plus benefits vary by promo and credits.
- This calculates listing fees only, not transaction, processing, or offsite ads fees.
- Multi-quantity listings renew per sale occurrence in many setups — one fee per unit sold is typical.
- Confirm current listing fee and renewal behavior in your Etsy seller dashboard.
Worked example
50 listing shop selling 20 orders a month
50 active listings at $0.20, 4-month renewal cycle, 20 sales per month with auto-renew on, no Plus, $2000 revenue.
