Selling Fee Calculator: What You Keep on 28 Channels, from Etsy to Square

Put in what you sell something for. See what every channel takes and what lands in your pocket, side by side, from each platform’s published fees, in US dollars. Add what the piece costs you to make and you see the real profit, not just the fees.

At your price, right now

Every fee here is figured on the item price. On a real order the cut is a little higher: Etsy and eBay also take their percentage on the shipping the buyer pays, and card processors take theirs on any sales tax you collect.

How Fees Work

Five kinds of fee, and why the headline rate leaves some out

Commission is the platform’s percentage of the item price: Etsy’s 6.5%, Amazon Handmade’s 15%, a gallery’s 40%. Some have a floor per item, so a cheap item pays more than the percentage.

Payment processing is the card fee: a percentage of what the buyer pays plus, on most channels, a fixed amount per payment. That fixed amount is why a $10 sale loses a bigger share than a $100 one.

Per-order and per-item fees are flat. Etsy charges $0.25 an order to process the payment and $0.20 each time a listing sells and renews, so the same fees on a $5 item and a $500 item are a very different share of the price.

Common Questions

What makers ask about selling fees

Why does Etsy take more than 6.5%?

6.5% is only the transaction fee. Etsy also charges 3% plus $0.25 to process the payment, and $0.20 each time a listing sells and renews. On a $50 sale that adds up to $5.20, a little over 10%, before Offsite Ads. The table shows the full cut for every channel, not the headline rate.

Should I raise my price on Etsy to cover the fees?

That is a pricing decision only you can make, but the “price to net” column shows what it would take. It is the price per item on each channel that leaves you the same money as selling the item at your price with no fees at all, the way a cash sale at a show does. Buyers compare prices across sites, so treat it as the most you would need to charge, not what you have to charge.

Are shipping and sales tax included?

No. This page figures every fee on the item price alone. On a real order the cut is a little higher: Etsy and eBay take their percentage on the shipping the buyer pays too, and card processors take theirs on any sales tax you collect. KraftyQuote’s quotes include tax in the processing fee when you set a tax rate.

Why does a cash sale show no fees?

Because cash costs nothing to take. If you take cards at a show or market, the Square or Shopify point-of-sale row is the one to read. Those are the in-person card rates.

When the fee rules are unclear, which number does this use?

The higher one, so a price set here covers the fee either way. Artisans Cooperative’s $0.49 is charged on every item, because the co-op lists it per item sold in one place and per order in another. Bonanza’s $0.50 minimum is applied to each item, since its fee page doesn’t say whether it means per item or per sale. Faire’s processing uses its top rate of 3.5%, because the real rate depends on how fast you take your payout. TikTok Shop’s referral fee is the 8% it has charged since August 2026, though one of its tables still shows 6%.

How current are these fees?

They are each platform’s published standard fees in US dollars, checked on November 6, 2026 (Folksy’s are converted from pounds). Platforms change their fees a few times a year. This page and the quote app use the same fees and are updated together. Fees for sellers outside the US, membership plans and promotions are not included.
