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
- 1Revenue is calculated as item sale price plus shipping charged to buyer.
- 2Etsy fees combine transaction %, processing %, processing fixed, listing fee, and offsite ads % of revenue.
- 3Product costs aggregate COGS and packaging.
- 4Shipping cost is the carrier amount you actually pay.
- 5Total costs = product cost + packaging + actual shipping + ads cost per order + business expenses per order.
- 6Net profit = revenue - Etsy fees - total costs.
- 7Profit margin = 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 + shipping charged), matching typical Etsy fee base.
- Listing fee and processing fixed fee are counted once per order in this model.
- Shipping charged to buyer is revenue, actual shipping cost is an expense — the difference matters for profit.
- Offsite ads fee is optional; use 0% if this order was not attributed to Offsite Ads.
- This is a single-order snapshot. Bulk tools, currency conversion, deposits, and taxes are not included.
- Confirm live rates in your Etsy payment account before making long-term pricing decisions.
