Etsy Net Profit Calculator
Estimate your Etsy net profit after product costs, shipping, transaction fees, payment processing, and advertising spend.
Overview
Use this Etsy Net Profit Calculator to estimate how much you keep from each sale after product cost, shipping, Etsy and payment fees, fixed fees, and advertising spend. It can help you price products more confidently and understand your expected margin across multiple orders.
How it works
The calculator starts with your sale price, then subtracts your direct product cost, shipping cost, percentage-based fees, fixed fee, and advertising cost to estimate net profit per order. It also multiplies your per-order profit by the number of orders entered to estimate total profit, and expresses profit as a percentage of the sale price to show your margin.

Frequently asked questions
What does this Etsy Net Profit Calculator estimate?
It estimates your profit per order and total profit after subtracting common Etsy selling costs like product cost, shipping, fees, and advertising.
Which Etsy fees should I include in the fee percentage?
Use a combined percentage that reflects the selling fees and payment processing fees you expect on each order. Check Etsy's current fee schedule for the most accurate rate.
Should I include shipping in the sale price?
If the buyer pays shipping separately and you want to include that in your revenue, adjust the sale price and shipping cost inputs so they reflect how you actually account for each order.
Does this calculator include taxes or VAT?
No. This version does not separately calculate taxes, VAT, or sales tax. If needed, you can factor those into your costs or fee assumptions.
Can I use this calculator for different products?
Yes. Run the calculator separately for each product or use average values for a product group to compare margins.
Why is my profit margin lower than expected?
Small fees, shipping costs, and ad spend can reduce margins quickly, especially on lower-priced items. Reviewing each cost line can help you spot where profit is being lost.
