What this tool does
This Canadian version applies Etsy's fee stack for shops with a Canadian bank account, in Canadian dollars: listing fee from your statement, 6.5% transaction fee on item and shipping, 3% + $0.25 CAD processing, Offsite Ads where applicable, and 5% GST charged on Etsy's fees.
How to use the Etsy Fee Calculator
- Leave the shop country set to Canada; amounts are in CAD.
- Enter the item price, quantity and the shipping you charged.
- Add any GST/HST included in the order, since processing applies to it.
- Enter the listing fee exactly as shown on your Etsy statement.
- Read total fees, the GST/HST 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) + 0.05 × (non-processing fees)
