Etsy fees on a 3D print
This page is only the Etsy line. The calculator’s Etsy option starts from the U.S. figures below and raises the selling price until the profit you asked for is what is left after the fees. Material, electricity, and failed prints are in how to price a 3D print.
What Etsy takes from a sale
These are from Etsy Help, read 11 November 2026. Confirm the live rate in your own dashboard.
- Transaction fee. 6.5% of the total order amount, including shipping and gift wrap you charge the buyer.
- Payment processing. For a United States bank account, 3% + 0.25 USD. It is taken from the total sale price, including shipping and any sales tax. Other bank-account countries have their own row. The calculator’s list is copied from the same table.
- Listing fee. $0.20 USD per listing, charged when you publish, whether or not it sells. A listing expires after 4 months, and an auto-renewal is another $0.20. Selling more than one of the same listing in one order adds $0.20 for each extra quantity.
- Offsite Ads. Only on an order Etsy attributes to an ad, which means the buyer clicked an Offsite Ad and bought from your shop within 30 days. The rate is 15% for a shop that has always made less than $10,000 USD in any 365-day period, and 12% once a shop has reached that mark. The fee is capped at $100 USD per order.
Etsy also names charges that do not have one number on those pages: Etsy Ads, which vary; a regulatory operating fee for sellers in some countries; a 2.5% currency conversion fee when the listing currency and the payment account currency differ; a set-up fee that varies by location; and VAT on fees where it applies. The calculator leaves those fields empty. Type a figure from your dashboard if one applies to you.
Why adding the fees to the cost comes up short
Percentage fees are taken from the selling price, and that price includes your profit. If you add 9.5% to your cost and profit, the fee on that added amount is still unpaid. PrintPrice works the other way round. It finds the smallest price where the price, minus every fee, still covers the cost and the profit you asked for.
Arithmetic only, not a print price. A job costs $10.00 before fees, and you want $4.00 of profit. The shop uses a United States bank account and charges no shipping.
- Adding 9.5% and the 25 cents to $14.00 gives $15.58. After a $1.01 transaction fee and $0.72 of processing, $3.85 of profit is left, not $4.00.
- The calculator suggests $15.74. The fees are $1.02, $0.47, and $0.25, so $14.00 is left: the $10.00 cost and the $4.00 profit.
- With the $0.20 listing fee checked, the suggestion is $15.97.
- If Etsy attributes the order to an Offsite Ad at 15%, the suggestion is $19.13. The Offsite Ads line is $2.87 of that.
The calculator rounds each fee to the cent. Your Payment account is the record of what Etsy actually took.
Shipping you charge the buyer
Etsy takes the transaction fee, processing, and Offsite Ads on shipping you charge, not only on the item price. Type that amount in the calculator’s buyer-paid shipping field so the fees include it. In the example above, with the listing fee checked, $5.00 of buyer-paid shipping moves the suggestion from $15.97 to $16.49.
That field is only the base for the fees. The calculator does not count the shipping money as income. If the buyer’s shipping charge pays your postage, leave the postage out of other costs. If you offer free shipping and pay the postage yourself, put the postage in other costs and leave the shipping field at 0. Do not enter the same postage in both places.
Offsite Ads, one order at a time
Leave Offsite Ads off for a normal quote. Turn it on to see what an attributed order would leave you. Etsy’s fees page and its Offsite Ads page describe the $10,000 threshold differently. The main guide explains both wordings. Use the rate on your Offsite Ads dashboard.
Where to put the numbers
On the calculator, choose Etsy under marketplace fees. The U.S. figures fill in, and choosing a different bank-account country replaces the processing fields with that row. Then set the profit as a dollar amount, a margin, or a markup. Margin and markup are explained in the main guide. The cost side of the same job is in how to calculate filament cost and electricity cost of a 3D print.
