How Etsy profit is calculated

Etsy's dashboard shows you revenue and traffic. What it doesn't show is profit. To find your real take-home, you subtract every fee Etsy charges from your gross sale, then subtract your own costs on top of that.

The fees most sellers underestimate are Offsite Ads (an automatic 15% deduction on qualifying sales, charged on top of the normal transaction fee) and payment processing (3% + $0.25 per order). On a $35 sale these two alone take over $3.80 before your materials or shipping costs are even counted.

For accurate results, include your cost of goods sold: materials, packaging, labels, any per-unit cost, and your shipping label cost if you pay for postage through Etsy or a third party. Sellers who skip these steps typically overestimate their profit margin by 10–20 percentage points.

Want to track this every month without pulling figures manually? Graav does it automatically. Enter your monthly totals and it calculates profit, margin, trends, and year-over-year growth for your whole shop.

Frequently asked questions

What fees does Etsy charge per sale?

Etsy charges a 6.5% transaction fee on the total sale price including shipping, a $0.20 listing fee per item, and a payment processing fee of 3% + $0.25 per order. If your sale came through an Etsy Offsite Ad, an additional 15% fee (or 12% for high-volume sellers) is deducted on top.

What is the Etsy Offsite Ads fee?

15% of the order value when a buyer clicks an Etsy-placed ad on Google, Facebook, or Pinterest and purchases within 30 days. Sellers over $10,000 in annual sales pay 12% and cannot opt out.

How do I calculate my Etsy profit margin?

Subtract all Etsy fees and your costs from your sale price, then divide that number by the sale price and multiply by 100. The fees to include: 6.5% transaction fee, 3% + $0.25 payment processing, $0.20 listing fee, and Offsite Ads if it applies.

What costs should I include?

All Etsy fees plus your cost of goods sold (materials, packaging, labels) and your shipping label cost. Sellers who skip cost of goods sold typically overestimate their profit margin by 10 to 20 percentage points.

Can I turn off Etsy Offsite Ads?

Only if your shop has earned less than $10,000 in the past 365 days. Once you cross that threshold, participation is mandatory — though the fee drops from 15% to 12%.
