Are you actually making money on Etsy?
Many sellers just look at their revenue and assume they're profitable. But after Etsy's listing fees ($0.20 each), transaction fees (6.5%), payment processing (3% + $0.25), and possible offsite ads fees (15%), your "profit" can disappear fast.
The Hidden Fee Problem
Let's say you sell a $25 item that costs $8 to make. You think your profit is $17. But run the real numbers:
- Listing fee: $0.20
- Transaction fee (6.5%): $1.63
- Payment processing (3% + $0.25): $1.00
- Total fees: $2.83
Now your "profit" is actually $14.17 — and that's assuming free shipping and no offsite ads!
The Solution
I built a simple Google Sheets calculator that breaks down every Etsy fee so you see exactly what you keep. It has:
- Quick Profit Calculator — enter one item's details, see instant profit
- Bulk Analyzer — paste your entire inventory list
- Break-Even Calculator — find minimum price to hit your target profit
- Monthly Dashboard — see total fees paid across all sales
How to set it up:
It takes 10 seconds:
- Open the sheet
- Enter your item price and costs in the green cells
- Everything calculates automatically
No more guessing. No more fee surprises. Just clear numbers.
