Etsy Business Expense Calculator
Estimate your Etsy selling costs, total expenses, net profit and profit margin based on revenue, fees, shipping and other business costs.
Overview
The Etsy Business Expense Calculator helps you estimate how much your Etsy revenue is reduced by platform fees, materials, shipping, marketing and other operating costs. It is useful for checking whether your current pricing leaves enough room for profit each month.
How it works
The calculator starts with your monthly Etsy revenue, then estimates Etsy fees using the percentage you enter. It adds those fees to your materials, shipping, marketing and other monthly costs to find total expenses. Net profit is your revenue minus total expenses, and profit margin is net profit divided by revenue.
