Every Etsy seller fee in 2026
Three fees apply to every sale: listing, transaction and payment processing. The Offsite Ads fee only applies when an order comes from one of Etsy's ads on Google or social media, and the regulatory operating fee only applies to shops in certain countries.
| Fee | Amount | Charged on | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | $0.20 | Each listing | When you publish a listing, and again every four months when it renews |
| Multi-quantity listing fee | $0.20 | Each extra item sold | When a buyer orders more than one of the same listing |
| Transaction fee | 6.5% | Item price + shipping + gift wrap | Every sale |
| Payment processing (US) | 3% + $0.25 | Order total, including sales tax | Every sale paid through Etsy Payments. The rate varies by country |
| Offsite Ads fee | 15% or 12% | Order total, capped at $100 per order | Only when the sale comes from an Offsite Ad. 12% once your shop passes $10,000 in 12 months |
| Regulatory operating fee | 0.05% to 1.97% | Item price + shipping | Every sale, only for shops in certain countries |
What Etsy takes from a $30 sale
A US seller sells a $30 item and charges $5 for shipping. The order did not come from an Offsite Ad.
- Item price + shipping
- $35.00
- Listing fee
- −$0.20
- Transaction fee (6.5% of $35)
- −$2.28
- Payment processing (3% of $35 + $0.25)
- −$1.30
- Total Etsy fees
- −$3.78 (10.8%)
- You receive
- $31.22
This is before postage and materials. If the same order came from an Offsite Ad at 15%, Etsy would take another $5.25, which brings the fees to $9.03, or 25.8% of the order.
Regulatory operating fee by country
Etsy sets this fee by the country your shop is based in, not where the buyer lives. These are the rates in effect since June 22, 2026. Shops in countries not listed, including the United States, do not pay it.
| Shop country | Rate on item price + shipping |
|---|---|
| Hungary | 1.97% |
| Türkiye | 1.67% |
| France | 1.14% |
| Spain | 0.88% |
| Italy | 0.80% |
| Canada | 0.50% |
| United Kingdom | 0.48% |
| India | 0.05% |
The calculator's regulatory fee box adds a flat 0.3% as a rough estimate. If your country's rate is higher, multiply your order total by the rate above and subtract the difference.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Etsy take per sale?
A US seller pays a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee and a 3% + $0.25 payment processing fee on every sale. On a $30 item with $5 shipping that comes to $3.78, or 10.8% of the order. A sale that comes from an Offsite Ad costs another 12% or 15%.
What is the Etsy transaction fee?
The Etsy transaction fee is 6.5% of the item price plus whatever you charge for shipping and gift wrapping. It applies to every sale. On a $35 order (a $30 item with $5 shipping) the transaction fee is $2.28.
Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee and the 3% + $0.25 payment processing fee are both worked out on the order total, which includes the shipping you charge the buyer. Building postage into the item price does not avoid the fee, because the fee follows the total either way.
How much is the Etsy Offsite Ads fee?
Etsy charges 15% of the order total when a sale comes from an Offsite Ad, or 12% if your shop made more than $10,000 on Etsy in the past 12 months. Etsy caps the fee at $100 per order. You only pay it on orders placed within 30 days of an ad click.
Can I opt out of Etsy Offsite Ads?
You can opt out if your shop made less than $10,000 on Etsy in the past 12 months. Once you pass $10,000 you stay in the programme for the life of the shop, but your rate drops from 15% to 12%.
What is the Etsy regulatory operating fee?
It is a percentage of the item price plus shipping that Etsy charges sellers in certain countries, including the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, Türkiye, Canada and India. The rate depends on where the shop is based. US shops do not pay it.
What is a good profit margin on Etsy?
There is no official benchmark, but many handmade sellers aim to keep at least 30% of the order after Etsy fees, postage and materials. Digital downloads usually keep more because they have no materials or postage. If the calculator shows a margin under 20%, a price change is worth testing.
How accurate is this Etsy fee calculator?
It uses the US fee rates Etsy publishes for 2026: $0.20 per listing, 6.5% transaction and 3% + $0.25 payment processing. The regulatory fee box uses a flat 0.3% estimate and the Offsite Ads line does not apply the $100 cap, so check Etsy's fee page for your country before you set prices.
