    Fix shipping undercharge of $4.99

    High impact

    You pay $4.99 but charge $0.00. Aligning them, or increasing item price by $4.99, immediately adds $4.99 to profit per order with zero extra work.

    Review packaging spend

    Low impact

    Packaging at $11.50 per order adds up. Test bulk tissue, simple kraft mailers, or eliminating one insert. Cutting $0.50 per order improves margin by 1.4% without affecting product quality.

    How it works

    How the Etsy Profit 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

    1. 1Revenue is item sale price plus shipping charged to the buyer.
    2. 2Etsy fees combine transaction, payment processing, fixed processing, listing, and optional offsite ads charges.
    3. 3Product costs combine materials or sourcing cost with packaging.
    4. 4Shipping cost is the carrier amount you actually pay.
    5. 5Total costs combine product, packaging, actual shipping, Etsy Ads cost per order, and other business expenses.
    6. 6Net profit equals revenue minus Etsy fees minus total costs.
    7. 7Profit margin equals net profit divided by revenue, times 100.

    Formulas

    • Revenue = salePrice + shippingChargedToBuyer
    • Etsy fees = revenue × (transaction% + processing%)/100 + processingFixed + listingFee + revenue × offsiteAd%/100
    • Total costs = productCost + packagingCost + actualShippingCost + etsyAdsCostPerOrder + businessExpensesPerOrder
    • Net profit = revenue - etsyFees - totalCosts
    • Profit margin = (netProfit / revenue) × 100

    Important assumptions

    • Fee percentages apply to total order revenue, item price plus shipping charged, in this model.
    • Listing fee and fixed payment processing fee are counted once per order.
    • Shipping charged to the buyer is revenue, while actual shipping cost is a seller expense. The difference affects take-home profit.
    • Offsite ads fee is optional. Use 0% when the order was not attributed to Offsite Ads.
    • This is a single-order snapshot. Bulk tools, currency conversion, deposits, and taxes are not included.
    • Confirm current rates in your Etsy payment account before making long-term pricing decisions.
