What this tool does
Works out real profit per order for Australian Etsy shops: the Australian fee stack with 10% GST on Etsy fees, minus materials, labour and what you actually pay Australia Post.
How to use the Etsy Profit Calculator
- Leave the shop country set to Australia; amounts are in AUD.
- Enter the item price, quantity and the postage you charged.
- Add any GST included in the order, since processing applies to it.
- Enter the listing fee exactly as shown on your Etsy statement.
- Enter your materials, labour and actual postage costs.
- Read total fees, the GST on Etsy fees line and what you receive.
Formula
Fees = L × Q + 0.065 × (P × Q + S) + 0.03 × (P × Q + S + T) + 0.25 + A × (P × Q + S) + 0.1 × (non-processing fees)
