Etsy Seller Profit Calculator
Estimate your profit per sale and profit margin after Etsy fees, payment processing, product costs and shipping costs.
Overview
The Etsy Seller Profit Calculator helps you estimate how much you keep from each sale after item revenue, shipping charged, Etsy-related fees, product costs and your actual shipping cost. It is useful for testing different prices and seeing whether a listing leaves enough margin.
How it works
The calculator adds your item price and shipping charged to find gross revenue. It then estimates percentage-based fees from that total, adds the listing fee, and combines those fees with your product and shipping costs. Your net profit is the amount left after subtracting all direct costs from the order revenue, and profit margin shows that profit as a percentage of revenue.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Etsy Seller Profit Calculator estimate?
It estimates your profit per order after direct product costs, shipping costs and the Etsy-related fees you enter.
Should I include shipping charged to the customer?
Yes. If the customer pays shipping separately, include it so the calculator reflects the full order revenue and any fees charged on that amount.
What fee percentage should I use?
Use the combined percentage that applies to your order total for marketplace and payment processing fees in your region. Check your account and current fee schedule if you are unsure.
Does this calculator include taxes or ads?
No. It focuses on direct per-sale profit. Taxes, offsite ads, discounts, refunds and overhead costs are not included unless you add them into your cost inputs yourself.
Why is my profit margin lower than expected?
A lower margin often comes from underestimating fees, packaging, shipping or product costs. Even small fee percentages can make a noticeable difference over many sales.
Can I use this calculator to set my Etsy prices?
Yes. It is useful for testing different prices and fee assumptions so you can see how each change affects profit and margin before updating a listing.
