Every Etsy fee, explained

Etsy doesn't take one single cut — it takes several small ones, and they stack. Here's every fee Etsy charges a seller in 2026 and how the calculator above handles each.

Listing Fee

$0.20

Per item listed. Charged when you first publish and every time the listing auto-renews (every 4 months or after each sale).

Transaction Fee

6.5%

Applied to the full order — item price + shipping charged + gift wrap. This is Etsy's core marketplace fee.

Payment Processing

3% + $0.25*

US rate shown. UK 4% + £0.20, Canada 3% + C$0.25, Australia 3.5% + A$0.25, EU 4% + €0.30. The calculator adjusts automatically.

Offsite Ads

12% or 15%

Only charged when a buyer clicks an Etsy-run Google/Facebook/Pinterest ad and purchases within 30 days. Capped at $100 per order.

Etsy Plus (optional)

$10/mo

Optional subscription with ad credits and shop customization. Not charged per sale — spread across your monthly orders.

Regulatory Fee

0.29–2.27%

Country-specific: UK 0.32%, France 0.47%, Italy 0.32%, Spain 0.72%, Canada 1.15%, India 0.29%, Vietnam 1.24%, Turkey 2.27%.

Offsite Ads — the fee most sellers miss

Offsite Ads is where Etsy spends its own money advertising your shop on Google, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Bing. If a buyer clicks one of those ads and buys from you within 30 days, Etsy takes a cut of that order on top of all the other fees.

Annual sales	Offsite Ads rate	Can opt out?	Per-order cap
Under $10,000	15%	Yes (voluntary)	$100
$10,000 or more	12%	No (mandatory)	$100

The $100 cap matters most if you sell high-ticket items — a $2,000 custom piece is capped at $100, not $240. For low-ticket sellers, the cap rarely kicks in, so the 15% simply eats into margin. Use the toggle in the calculator to model both scenarios before deciding whether to opt out.

Frequently asked questions

Etsy takes a $0.20 listing fee per item, a 6.5% transaction fee on the sale price plus shipping, and a payment processing fee (typically 3% + $0.25 in the US). If the sale came through Offsite Ads, Etsy also charges 12% or 15% of the order (capped at $100 per order). For a $25 US sale with $5 shipping, total Etsy fees are roughly $3.30, or about 11% of the order.

For a $100 US sale with no Offsite Ads attribution, Etsy takes approximately $9.95 total: $0.20 listing fee, $6.50 transaction fee (6.5%), and $3.25 payment processing (3% + $0.25). That leaves you with $90.05 before your own product and shipping costs. If the sale came through Offsite Ads at 15%, add $15 more for a total of $24.95 in Etsy fees.

Offsite Ads are ads Etsy runs on Google, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Bing to drive traffic to your shop. If a buyer clicks one of these ads and purchases from you within 30 days, Etsy charges 15% of the order total for shops with less than $10,000 in annual sales, or 12% for shops over $10,000. The fee is capped at $100 per order. Sellers under $10,000 can opt out; sellers over $10,000 are enrolled permanently. Source: Etsy Help Center.

No, opening a basic Etsy shop is free — there is no mandatory monthly fee. Etsy only charges fees when you list items ($0.20 per listing) or make sales. Optional paid subscriptions exist: Etsy Plus is $10/month and adds ad credits and shop customization features, and Etsy Pattern is $15/month for a standalone website. Most sellers operate successfully without either subscription.

The regulatory operating fee is a small percentage Etsy charges sellers in specific countries to cover local regulatory and compliance costs. Current rates (2026): UK 0.32%, France 0.47%, Italy 0.32%, Spain 0.72%, Canada 1.15%, India 0.29%, Vietnam 1.24%, Turkey 2.27%. It applies to the item price plus shipping. Sellers in the US, Germany, Australia, and Ireland are not charged this fee.

Yes and no. The $0.20 listing fee is charged when you first publish a listing and again every 4 months if it auto-renews, regardless of whether the item sells. Transaction fees, payment processing, Offsite Ads fees, and regulatory operating fees only apply when a sale actually happens. To avoid recurring listing fees on slow-moving items, turn off auto-renewal and manually republish only items you want to keep active.

Etsy’s fee rates are fixed, but you can reduce the total amount you pay: (1) Opt out of Offsite Ads if your shop makes under $10,000 per year — shops above that cannot opt out. (2) Turn off listing auto-renewal and manually renew only proven listings. (3) Avoid Etsy Plus unless you’ll use the ad credits. (4) Price items to include all fees upfront rather than absorbing them. (5) Bundle small items into single listings instead of listing them separately.

Yes. The calculator supports US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and other EU countries. It automatically adjusts payment processing rates — for example, UK sellers pay 4% + £0.20 versus US sellers at 3% + $0.25, and Australian sellers pay 3% + A$0.25 on domestic sales (4% + A$0.25 on international). The regulatory operating fee is also applied automatically based on the selected country.

Yes. Both the 6.5% transaction fee and payment processing fees are applied to the total order — item price + shipping charged + gift wrap. This is one of the most common pricing miscalculations sellers make: they calculate fees on the item price only and are surprised when their actual payout is lower.

Etsy’s effective cut is typically 11%–15% of a sale (higher with Offsite Ads). Shopify charges only payment processing (about 2.9% + $0.30) plus a monthly plan starting at $39 — but you must drive your own traffic. eBay charges roughly 13.25% + $0.30 for most categories. Etsy is the best choice when you need Etsy’s built-in buyer traffic; Shopify wins on pure per-sale economics if you have an external audience.

Etsy deducts fees automatically from your sale proceeds as soon as the buyer pays. You never pay fees separately — they’re withheld from the amount deposited to your Etsy Payment account. Listing fees are the exception: they’re charged immediately when you publish a listing and appear on your monthly Etsy bill, which is paid separately.

Most successful Etsy sellers aim for a net profit margin of 25–40% after all Etsy fees, product costs, shipping, and materials. Digital product sellers often hit 70%+ margins because their cost of goods is near zero. Use the calculator’s target-margin box to back-solve the selling price you need to hit your goal.
