Questions, answered.
What does total revenue include?
Total revenue is calculated as the item price multiplied by the quantity sold, plus shipping costs. It represents the total money received before any fees or costs are subtracted.
What Etsy fees are included in this calculation?
The calculator includes the $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee, payment processing fees (varies by location), and optional 12% offsite ad fees if enabled and the sale is from an ad.
How is net profit calculated?
Net profit is the total revenue minus all Etsy fees and total costs (product cost × quantity plus shipping cost). This shows exactly how much money you keep from the sale.
Why should I include offsite ads in the calculation?
Offsite ads can significantly reduce your net profit. Including this fee helps you understand how advertising affects your margins and whether enabling ads is worth it.
Can I evaluate multiple items at once?
Yes! By entering the quantity, the calculator scales revenue, fees, and costs accordingly, giving you a complete picture for larger orders.
What's a healthy profit margin for Etsy sellers?
There is no universal target. Compare the margin with your labor, overhead, returns, advertising, category norms, and the cash your business needs to keep operating.
