What this tool does
This version applies the UK Etsy Payments fee stack to one order in pounds sterling: the listing fee from your statement, 6.5% transaction fee on item price plus postage, 4% + £0.20 payment processing, the 0.32% regulatory operating fee, any Offsite Ads fee, and 20% VAT charged on Etsy's fees.
How to use the Etsy Fee Calculator
- Leave the shop country set to United Kingdom; amounts are in GBP.
- Enter the item price, quantity and the postage you charged.
- Add any VAT included in the order, since processing applies to it.
- Enter the listing fee exactly as shown on your Etsy statement.
- Read total fees, the VAT on Etsy fees line and what you receive.
