Etsy charges four separate fees on most sales, and it's easy to lose track of how much they add up to. Here's the exact breakdown this calculator uses, based on Etsy's current published rates for 2026.
Every listing costs $0.20 to publish, whether it sells or not, and renews automatically every four months (or each time it sells, for multi-quantity listings). This is a flat per-listing cost, not a percentage of your sale price.
Etsy takes 6.5% of the total sale price, including whatever you charge for shipping. This is the single largest fee for most sellers, and it's calculated on the combined item plus shipping total, not just the item price.
This is the one fee that genuinely changes depending on where your bank account is, not just where you're located. US sellers pay 3% + $0.25. UK sellers pay 4% + £0.20. Most EU countries pay 4% + €0.30. Canada and Australia pay 3% domestically but 4% on international orders, plus a small flat fee in their local currency. Verified directly against Etsy's official Payments Policy.
Sellers in the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Canada, Turkey, India, Vietnam, and Hungary pay an additional Regulatory Operating fee on top of the standard processing rate, calculated on the item price plus shipping. Etsy revises these annually, and several jumped meaningfully as of June 22, 2026: UK to 0.48%, France to 1.14%, Italy to 0.80%, Spain to 0.88%. Germany and most other EU countries don't currently carry this fee.
In the UK, Etsy adds 20% VAT on top of its own service fees, not on your sale price. Australian sellers pay 10% GST on the same basis. EU VAT rates vary by country, Germany 19%, France 20%, Italy 22%, Spain 21%. If you're VAT or GST registered, you can usually reclaim this as input tax when you file, so it's often a cash flow timing cost rather than a permanent one. Talk to your accountant about your specific situation; this calculator shows the gross amount before any reclaim.
If a sale comes through one of Etsy's offsite ads (on Google, Facebook, Instagram, or Pinterest), Etsy takes an additional cut: 15% for shops under $10,000 in annual sales, or 12% for shops above that threshold. Shops earning over $10,000/year in the past 365 days are automatically enrolled and can't opt out; smaller shops can choose to participate.
If you list an item in a currency different from your payment account's currency, Etsy adds a separate 2.5% currency conversion fee, on top of everything above. This calculator assumes your listing currency matches your payment account currency, the common case. If it doesn't for you, add roughly 2.5% to your total fees.
On the same $50 sale, enrolled in Offsite Ads, a US seller keeps about $38.80. A UK seller keeps about £37.03, mostly because of the 20% VAT layer on top of a slightly higher processing rate. A Canadian seller keeps about $38.23. The percentage fee differences between countries look small on paper, but the VAT and GST layer is what actually moves the needle.
