Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate Etsy profit?

Etsy profit = (item price + shipping charged) − Etsy fees − your product cost − your real shipping cost. Etsy fees are the $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee, payment processing (≈3% + $0.25 US) and any Offsite Ads fee.

What is a good profit margin on Etsy?

Most successful handmade shops target 30–50% net margin, and print-on-demand shops usually land at 15–25%. Under 15% leaves no room for ads, returns or a price rise from your supplier.

How much profit do Etsy sellers make per sale?

On a $30 order with $10 COGS and free shipping, a US seller keeps roughly $16 after Etsy's ~12% cut — about 53% margin. Add 15% Offsite Ads and the same order drops to about $11.50.

Does this include Printify and Printful costs?

Yes — put the Printify or Printful base cost (product + their shipping) into the COGS field and the calculator handles the rest. POD sellers typically need a 2.2–2.5× markup over base cost.

Does Etsy charge fees on shipping I collect?

Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee applies to the item price plus the shipping you charge, which is why under-priced postage silently destroys your margin.

What is ROI on an Etsy sale?

ROI = net profit ÷ (product cost + shipping cost). A $16 profit on $14 of cost is a 114% ROI. It tells you how hard each dollar of inventory is working.
