How this calculator works

Gross order revenue = item price + shipping charged. Platform fee = gross order revenue x platform fee rate + listing fee. Payment fee = gross order revenue x payment fee rate + fixed payment fee. Offsite ad fee = gross order revenue x offsite ad rate. Profit = gross order revenue - item cost - shipping cost - platform fee - payment fee - offsite ad fee - other fixed fees.
Gross order revenue = item price + shipping charged. Total fees = gross x platform fee rate + listing fee + gross x payment fee rate + payment fixed fee + gross x offsite ad rate + other fixed fees. Profit = gross - item cost - shipping cost - total fees.

Inputs explained

Item price and shipping charged

The revenue collected from the buyer for the item and shipping.

Item cost and shipping cost

Your product, materials, packaging, postage, and fulfillment costs for the order.

Platform and listing fees

User-entered marketplace percent and fixed listing fees.

Payment and offsite ad fees

User-entered payment processor and advertising rates for the order scenario.

Understanding your results

Estimated profit per order is the contribution remaining after the modeled marketplace, payment, ad, product, and shipping costs. A low or negative result means the listing may need a higher price, lower costs, or different ad assumptions.

Example scenarios

Handmade product order

A $45 item with $5 shipping charged, $18 in product and shipping costs, and editable platform/payment rates shows fees and profit per order.

Offsite ad sensitivity

Set offsite ad rate to 0% and then your current ad rate to see how ad-attributed orders change contribution profit.

Key Features

  • Instant Calculation
  • Private & Secure
  • Mobile Optimized

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use the current rates from your seller dashboard or marketplace help center.
  • Include packaging and shipping materials in item or shipping cost so contribution profit is not overstated.
  • Model ad-attributed and non-ad-attributed orders separately when only some orders pay offsite ad fees.

Glossary of Terms

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this calculator use current Etsy fee rates?
No. Enter your current platform, payment, listing, and offsite ad rates because marketplace fees can vary by country, account status, category, and date.
Why include shipping charged in the fee base?
Many marketplace and payment fees can apply to the order total. Use the fields to match the fee base for the scenario you are modeling.
Is this the same as net business profit?
No. This estimates order-level contribution profit before overhead, income tax, inventory write-offs, software, labor, and other business expenses.
