What Etsy actually takes — and what you actually keep
Etsy charges four or five separate fees on a single sale, and they are not all calculated on the same amount. These tools work out the real numbers in a few seconds, so you can price with confidence instead of guessing.

Etsy Fees in the UK, and VAT
Why UK sellers pay more than US sellers, how the 0.48% regulatory fee works, and how to strip VAT out of a price that already includes it.
Etsy fees in the EU
One processing rate across the eurozone, six different VAT rates, and the three countries that add a regulatory fee on top. Worked examples in euros.
Etsy fees for Canadian sellers
Canada is one of the few countries with two processing rates. Why a buyer in Ohio costs you less than one in London, and how GST/HST lands on the fees.
The regulatory operating fee
The percentage that only exists in some countries, reset on 22 June 2026. Every current rate, and what it costs on a real order.
Offsite Ads explained
The 15% fee that turns a healthy sale into a break-even one. When you can opt out, when you cannot, and how the $100 cap works.
Listing fees, per item
The $0.20 that is charged more often than most sellers expect — on renewals, after every sale, and once per extra unit in a multi-quantity order.

A pricing method that starts from the margin you want instead of the cost you paid, with worked examples and the discount floor to avoid.
Etsy's 2026 fee schedule at a glance
| Fee | Rate | Charged on |
|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | $0.20 | Each listing or renewal, plus each extra unit sold |
| Transaction fee | 6.5% | Item + shipping + gift wrap (excludes sales tax) |
| Payment processing | 3% + $0.25 (US) | Item + shipping + gift wrap + sales tax |
| Regulatory operating fee | 0 – 1.97% | Item + shipping + gift wrap, in some countries only |
| Offsite Ads | 15% or 12% | The whole order, capped at $100 per order |
The three mandatory fees stack to roughly 11% of what the buyer pays on a typical US order, before advertising. Add an Offsite Ads order and the same sale passes 25%. That gap between 11% and 25% is the single most useful thing to understand about selling on Etsy.
