Etsy Self Assessment Tax Calculator
Estimate your Etsy self assessment tax, National Insurance and take-home profit from your sales, expenses and tax settings.
Overview
Use this Etsy Self Assessment Tax Calculator to estimate how much tax you may need to set aside from your Etsy income. Enter your annual sales, allowable expenses, personal allowance and simple tax settings to get an estimate of profit, tax and take-home income.
How it works
The calculator first works out your net profit by subtracting allowable expenses from annual sales. It then subtracts your personal allowance to estimate taxable profit and applies the income tax rate you entered. For National Insurance, it adds a yearly Class 2 amount and applies the Class 4 rate to profit above the lower profits limit. These amounts are combined to estimate your total tax bill, and the remaining amount is shown as your take-home profit.

It estimates your net profit, income tax, National Insurance and take-home profit based on the figures you enter.
