For the break-even price and the price for your target margin, it searches for the item price where your profit reaches that share of the order. **Order total** item price × (1 − discount) + shipping you charge **Etsy fees** $0.20 + 6.5% × order + processing % × (order + tax) + fixed fee **Profit** order total − Etsy fees − product cost − your shipping cost Fee rates come from Etsy's own policy pages, checked on November 14, 2026. Etsy can change them. Your payment account shows the exact fees of each order. ![Podly Merch Database: filters for marketplace, product type, date, BSR, price and estimated sales above a grid of results](https://podly.co/images/home-v2/tab-research-1400.webp) Merch Database In Podly Know your margin.

Enter your item price, the shipping you charge, and what the order costs you: the base price of your print-on-demand product and the shipping your print provider charges. Then choose where the buyer came from. A sale from an Etsy Offsite Ad costs more, and a sale from your own Share & Save link costs less. Under **More options** you can add a sale discount, your Etsy Ads spend per order, the margin you aim for, and the sales tax the buyer pays. The result shows each fee, your profit, your margin, your break-even price and the price you need for your target margin. ## Etsy fees as of November 2026 | Fee | Rate | Charged on | | --- | --- | --- | | Listing fee | $0.20 per listing, renewed after each sale | Each listing, for four months | | Transaction fee | 6.5% | Item price, shipping and gift wrap | | Payment processing (US) | 3% + $0.25 | Order total, with tax and shipping | | Payment processing (UK) | 4% + £0.20 | Order total, with tax and shipping | | Payment processing (euro countries) | 4% + €0.30 | Order total, with tax and shipping | | Offsite Ads | 15%, or 12% from $10,000 a year in sales | Orders from an Etsy ad, at most $100 per order | | Currency conversion | 2.5% | Sales listed in another currency than your bank's | | Share & Save refund | 4% back | Orders from your own shared link | Sources: Etsy's [Fees & Payments Policy](https://www.etsy.com/legal/fees/), the processing fee table in the [Etsy Payments Policy](https://www.etsy.com/legal/etsy-payments/), the [Share & Save terms](https://www.etsy.com/legal/policy/etsys-share-save-terms-program-terms/1162874007996), and the [Regulatory Operating fee](https://help.etsy.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500011073202) article, which adds 0.48% in the UK, 0.50% in Canada, 0.80% in Italy, 0.88% in Spain, 1.14% in France and 1.97% in Hungary. All checked on November 14, 2026. ## Worked example: a $25 t-shirt A US shop sells a t-shirt at $25 and charges $5 shipping, so the order total is $30. The print provider charges $11 for the shirt and $4 to ship it. - Listing fee: $0.20 - Transaction fee: 6.5% × $30 = $1.95 - Payment processing: 3% × $30 + $0.25 = $1.15 - Etsy fees: $3.30, or 11% of the order - Profit: $30 − $3.30 − $15 = $11.70, a 39% margin If the same buyer came from an Offsite Ad at 15%, Etsy takes another $4.50 and the profit falls to $7.20. Without an ad, this shirt loses money at any item price below $12.08. ## Mistakes that cost print-on-demand sellers money - **Forgetting the fees on shipping.** You pay 6.5% plus processing on the shipping you charge, not only on the item. - **Pricing for the best case.** Check your profit with the Offsite Ads fee on. If one ad sale makes you lose money, raise the price. - **Leaving out the print provider's shipping.** Your shipping cost is what the provider charges you, which is often more than you charge the buyer. - **Running a sale without new numbers.** A 25% discount comes off your item price, but the fixed fees and your costs stay the same. Selling on more than one channel? The [T-shirt pricing calculator](https://podly.co/tools/t-shirt-pricing-calculator/) compares Etsy with eBay and your own store, and shows margin and markup. Sell on Amazon too? The [Merch on Demand royalty calculator](https://podly.co/royalties-calculator/) does the same job for Amazon Merch, and Podly's [trademark check](https://podly.co/features/trademark-check/) tells you if a phrase is protected before you upload it to Etsy or Amazon. Facts checked and page updated on November 14, 2026. ## Etsy fee questions, answered. Something we missed? [Send us a message.](https://podly.co/contact/) A human answers. **01 How much does Etsy take per sale?** For a US shop: a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price plus shipping, and 3% + $0.25 for payment processing. On a $25 item with $5 shipping, that is $3.30, about 11% of the order. If the sale came from an Offsite Ad, add 12% or 15% of the order. **02 Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?** Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee, the payment processing fee and, when it applies, the Offsite Ads fee are all charged on the shipping you charge the buyer, not only on the item price. Free shipping does not avoid the fee: the cost just moves into your item price. **03 Can I turn off Offsite Ads?** Only while your shop has made less than $10,000 in sales over the last 365 days. Once you reach $10,000, you must take part, and the fee drops to 12% for the life of your shop, even if your sales go down later. **04 Do I pay the listing fee again when an item sells?** Yes. A listing costs $0.20 and lasts four months. When a listing with more than one in stock sells, Etsy renews it automatically for another $0.20. Print-on-demand listings usually have more than one in stock, so count $0.20 on every sale. **05 Why is my Etsy payout lower than this calculator shows?** Your payment account can show charges that do not belong to one order: VAT on seller fees in some countries, deposit fees in some markets, refunds, chargebacks, Etsy Plus or Pattern subscriptions, and the one-time shop set-up fee.
