An Etsy profit calculator estimates how much a seller earns per sale after deducting product costs, shipping, and Etsy's transaction and payment processing fees.
Formula and example
Total fees = Selling price x (Transaction fee % + Payment fee %) / 100; Net profit = Selling price - Product cost - Shipping cost - Total fees; Suggested markup = (Selling price - Product cost) / Product cost x 100
A $50 item that costs $20 to make, with $5 shipping, 6.5% Etsy fee, and 3% payment fee yields $4.75 in fees, $20.25 net profit, and a 40.5% real margin.
