Overview
The Etsy Monthly Profit Calculator helps sellers estimate how much profit their shop makes in a typical month. Enter your monthly sales revenue, product costs, Etsy fee rate, payment processing rate, shipping costs, ad spend and other expenses to see your estimated profit and margin.
How it works
This calculator starts with your monthly sales revenue and subtracts direct product costs, estimated Etsy fees, payment processing fees, shipping, advertising and other expenses. Etsy fees and payment processing fees are calculated as percentages of revenue. Net profit is the amount left after all listed expenses, and profit margin shows that profit as a percentage of revenue.

Frequently asked questions
What does this Etsy profit calculator estimate?
It estimates your monthly net profit by subtracting product costs, Etsy fees, payment processing, shipping, advertising and other expenses from your sales revenue.
Should I include Etsy listing fees in the Etsy fee rate?
Yes. If you want a more complete estimate, include listing and transaction-related fees in the Etsy fee rate or add them to other expenses.
Does this calculator include taxes?
No. Taxes are not included automatically, so you should add tax-related costs separately if you want them reflected in the estimate.
What is a good profit margin for an Etsy shop?
A good margin depends on your products, pricing, shipping method and ad strategy. This calculator helps you compare scenarios and see how your margin changes.
Should shipping be included as an expense?
Yes. If you pay for postage or shipping labels, include those costs here so your profit estimate better reflects what you keep.
Can I use this calculator for a single product line?
