Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How accurate are these calculations?
Our calculator uses the standard, publicly available Etsy fee structure. The estimates are very accurate for most listings. However, actual fees can vary slightly based on your location, shop status (e.g., Etsy Plus), and whether you use Offsite Ads. Always refer to your Etsy Payment account for exact figures.
Does this calculator include Offsite Ad fees?
No, this calculator does not include potential Offsite Ad fees. These fees (typically 12-15%) are only charged when a sale is made through an offsite ad, and they depend on your shop's annual revenue. You should factor this in separately if it applies to you.
Can I calculate fees for international sales?
Yes. The integrated shipping calculator can estimate international shipping rates. The fee percentages remain the same, but currency conversion fees may apply, which are not included in this calculation.
What's the difference between "Commercial Rate" and "Retail Rate" for shipping?
Commercial Rate is the discounted price you get when you purchase shipping labels through Etsy. Retail Rate is the standard price you would pay if you bought postage directly from a carrier like USPS at the post office. You should almost always use the Commercial Rate in your calculations if you buy labels through Etsy.
