Make the next pricing or planning decision with context
Use this before publishing or repricing an Etsy listing when you need to decide what to charge. Set the profit you want to keep, enter product, packaging, and actual shipping costs, and set shipping charged to zero when you offer free shipping. Add an Etsy Ads budget or offsite ads percentage when those costs apply, then keep the fee fields editable and match them to your country, payment setup, and current seller terms.

How it works
How the Etsy Pricing Calculator works
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
- 1Fulfillment costs combine product cost, packaging, actual shipping, and the per-order ads budget.
- 2The effective percentage fee combines the editable transaction, processing, and offsite ads rates.
- 3Fixed per-order fees combine the processing fixed fee and listing fee.
- 4The recommended list price covers fulfillment costs, fixed fees, and target profit after the percentage fee is applied.
- 5The buyer total adds shipping charged to the recommended list price, and that shipping amount is included in the fee base.
- 6Effective margin is target profit divided by the buyer total, while markup is 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 fee assumptions apply to total order value, including item price plus shipping charged.
- Fixed fee assumptions are counted once per order at the recommended price.
- If shipping charged is zero, the item price covers actual shipping, which is common with free shipping listings.
- The calculator solves algebraically and does not include tax rounding, Etsy coupon absorption, or currency conversion.
- Fee amounts can vary by country, payment setup, account status, and attribution. Match the editable fields to current Etsy terms before publishing.
