FeeTruth
Etsy fee calculator: see what you keep before you publish
Most “Etsy fee calculators” are a spreadsheet tab you open once and forget. FeeTruth is a Chrome extension that estimates US Etsy take-home next to the listing price — using public fee lines plus a cost you type. Math stays on your computer.
Not affiliated with Etsy. Estimates only — not your Etsy invoice and not tax advice. Fee schedules change; re-check Etsy’s public help pages when something looks off. The extension is not on the Chrome Web Store yet.
What this calculator includes (US)
For a single listing price, FeeTruth’s free calculator can toggle these public US lines
(rates checked against public Etsy help as of 25 Sep 2026 — see product FEES.md):
- Transaction fee — 6.5% on item + shipping + gift wrap
- Payment processing — 3% + $0.25 (United States row from public help text)
- Listing fee — optional $0.20 per unit when you treat it as part of the sale
- Offsite Ads — optional 15% or 12% with a $100 cap
- Your cost — unit cost and shipping you pay (you type them; no Printful/Printify login)
It does not model on-site Ads CPC budgets, sales tax you remitted, or a full shop P&L. If you need bookkeeping software, this is the wrong tool — and that is intentional.
Worked example (illustrative)
Same sample numbers as the store screenshots. Replace with your own dollars. This page does not run live math in the browser yet — the extension does.
| Item price | $28.00 |
|---|---|
| Shipping you charge | $4.50 |
| Your unit cost | $12.00 |
| Listing fee | $0.20 on |
| Offsite Ads | Off |
| Estimated Etsy fees | ~$3.54 |
| Estimated take-home | ~$16.96 |
Rounding and toggles can shift cents. Compare one known Payment account order before you trust a new build.
Why sellers search for an Etsy fee calculator
- Etsy shows the buyer price. It does not show take-home next to the price field while you edit.
- Spreadsheets work until the fee schedule moves and the sheet goes stale.
- Tools that ask for an Etsy password are a non-starter for a lot of shops.
FeeTruth’s bet: local math, no Etsy password, free fee lines, Pro later for memory and what-if (~$6.99/mo planned — not billed yet).
FAQ
Is FeeTruth free?
The calculator (fee lines) stays free. Pro is planned for remembering costs, reverse price, and quantity tables — not for locking the fee math.
Do you need my Etsy login?
No. There is no Etsy password, no cookie scrape, and no unofficial Etsy API.
Is this tax advice?
No. Estimates only. Not your invoice. Not tax, 1099, or bookkeeping advice.
Can I install it today?
Not from the Chrome Web Store yet. Join the waitlist. Load-unpacked builds are for the builder only, not a public sideload program.
Do you publish install counts or revenue claims here?
No. This page has no fake metrics. When the store listing exists, those numbers will come from the store — not invented copy.
