    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. 1Total effective fee percent sums transaction, processing, and offsite ads percentages.
    2. 2Total fixed fees per order sum processing fixed plus listing fee.
    3. 3Total fulfillment costs sum product cost, packaging, actual shipping, and ads budget per order.
    4. 4Algebraic solve: recommended price = (totalCosts + fixedFees + targetProfit) divided by (1 - feePercent).
    5. 5Recommended price with shipping adds shipping charged to buyer for display purposes.
    6. 6Effective margin = target profit divided by (recommended price + shipping charged).
    7. 7Markup percent = target profit divided by fulfillment costs.

    Formulas

    • Effective fee % = transaction% + processing% + offsiteAd%
    • Fixed per order = processingFixed + listingFee
    • Fulfillment = productCost + packagingCost + actualShippingCost + adsBudgetPerOrder
    • Recommended price = (Fulfillment + Fixed + targetProfit) / (1 - EffectiveFee%)
    • Price with shipping = Recommended price + shippingChargedToBuyer
    • Margin = targetProfit / Price with shipping

    Important assumptions

    • Etsy percentage fees apply to total order value including item price plus shipping charged.
    • Fixed fees are counted once per order at the recommended price.
    • If shipping charged is zero, you are covering actual shipping from item price — common with free shipping listings.
    • Calculator solves algebraically; it does not include tax rounding or Etsy coupon absorption.
    • Confirm live fee rates in your Etsy dashboard before publishing.

    Worked example

    Want $15 profit on a handmade item

    Product cost $10, packaging $1.50, actual shipping $4.99, charged $4.99 shipping, target $15 profit, no ads, standard fees 6.5% + 3% + $0.45 fixed.

    Fulfillment is $16.49, fixed Etsy fees $0.45, target $15. With 9.5% effective percentage fees, recommended list price is about $35.25. Buyer sees $40.24 with shipping. Effective margin lands around 37%.
