Etsy Fee Calculator

Three to four components, each on its own base: the $0.20 listing fee (charged at publish/renewal), the 6.5% transaction fee on item + shipping + gift wrap with US sales tax excluded, Etsy Payments processing at 3% + $0.25 on the TOTAL including tax and shipping, and, when the sale came from an Offsite Ad, 15% (or 12% for qualified larger shops) capped at $100 per order. This calculator itemizes each with its base shown.

Because that is how Etsy defines the bases: the US transaction fee explicitly excludes sales tax, while Etsy Payments processing is assessed on the total sale including tax and shipping. On a $50 order with $5 tax, the 6.5% applies to $50-plus-shipping while the 3% applies to the tax-included total. A calculator with one base gets one of these wrong on every taxed order.

It depends on the question you are asking, so the calculator offers three allocations: include one listing fee (the common case), count renewals per unit for multi-quantity listings (each sold unit triggers a renewal), or exclude it as a sunk cost when the listing is already paid for and you are deciding on the marginal sale. The cash fee and the marginal decision cost are different numbers; pick the one your decision needs.

15% is standard; shops that made $10,000 or more in the prior 365 days qualify for 12% (and mandatory participation). It applies only to orders attributed to an Offsite Ad, is charged on the order amount, and is capped at $100 per order, which the calculator enforces. Sales not attributed to Offsite Ads pay nothing.
