Etsy Fees Explained for 2026
Etsy charges a mix of fixed and percentage fees that can take 10-15% of every sale before you account for product costs. As of 2026: a $0.20 listing fee per item (listings last 4 months), a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price, a payment processing fee of about 3% plus $0.25, and up to 15% offsite ads fee on sales that come from Etsy's advertising network (mandatory for sellers under $10k/year, opt-in above). Shipping charges to buyers also incur the 6.5% transaction fee if you charge them separately.
Because Etsy fees are percentage-based, low-priced items are the most fee-heavy — a $5 item loses ~12% to fees alone, while a $40 item loses ~10%. This is why many successful Etsy sellers bundle shipping into the price (saving the 6.5% fee on shipping) and use price points like $24.99 instead of $22. Use this calculator to model your real margin before listing.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Etsy take per sale in 2026?
Roughly 10-12% on average: $0.20 listing, 6.5% transaction, ~3% + $0.25 payment processing, plus up to 15% offsite ads if applicable. On a $30 item that's about $3.20-3.50 in fees.
Is the listing fee charged every month?
No. Each listing costs $0.20 and is active for 4 months or until sold, whichever comes first. Re-listing (auto-renew) charges another $0.20. For budgeting, treat it as $0.20 per item listed.
Does Etsy charge fees on shipping?
Yes — the 6.5% transaction fee applies to the shipping cost you charge the buyer. Bundling shipping into your item price can save you that 6.5% on the shipping portion.
What is the offsite ads fee?
When a sale originates from Etsy's offsite ads (Google, Instagram, etc.), Etsy charges 15% of the order value for sellers with under $10k/year in sales (opt-out available above $10k/year). This calculator excludes it — add it manually if you run Etsy ads.
