What fees does Etsy charge sellers?
Etsy deducts several separate fees from every sale, and which ones apply depends on your shop's country:
- Transaction fee — 6.5% of the item price plus shipping, before VAT, the same everywhere Etsy operates.
- Payment processing fee — a percentage plus a flat fee, both set by your country, on the full amount the buyer pays including VAT.
- Listing fee — 0.20 USD nominal, converted to your local currency, charged again only if a listing renews because it sold.
- VAT on Etsy's fees — in the EU and UK, Etsy adds VAT on top of its own fees unless you've given Etsy a VAT number. Not applicable in the US.
- Offsite Ads — 12–15%, only when a buyer clicked an Etsy ad within 30 days of buying. Not included in this calculator — see the FAQ below.
- Regulatory Operating Fee — a small percentage, only in the specific countries listed in the tables below (not Poland, not the US).
How is the Etsy transaction fee calculated?
It's 6.5% of your item price plus any shipping you charge the buyer — calculated before VAT or sales tax is added, and the same rate no matter which country your shop is based in. A 3.50 EUR sale with no shipping has a transaction fee of 0.23 EUR — see the full worked example in the Poland section below.
Do Etsy fees include VAT?
In the EU and UK, yes: Etsy charges VAT on top of its own transaction, payment processing and listing fees, at the seller's own country's standard rate, unless that seller has given Etsy a VAT registration number (in which case Etsy applies a 0% reverse charge instead). The US has no VAT system, so none of this applies to US-based shops. This is separate from any VAT or sales tax the buyer pays on the item itself — that amount passes through to the tax authority and is never part of the seller's profit.
How much do I keep from a sale?
Start from your price and shipping before VAT, subtract the transaction fee, the payment processing fee, any VAT on those fees, and the listing fee if it renewed — what's left is your net payout. Subtract what the item and its shipping actually cost you to make, and what's left is profit. Use the calculator above to see this for your own price, or see exactly this broken out, for every real sale you've ever made, with a CraftKept trial.
Etsy fees in the United States
US-based Etsy sellers pay a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price and shipping, plus a payment processing fee of 3% + 0.25 USD on the full amount the buyer pays. The listing fee is 0.20 USD. The US has no VAT system, so there's no VAT added to Etsy's fees, and the US isn't on Etsy's Regulatory Operating Fee list.
