Handmade Margin Counts the Etsy Costs That Hide in Plain Sight
A free, one-sale-at-a-time Etsy calculator that estimates what remains after marketplace fees, materials, packaging, postage, and optional labour.
Field notes
The calculator separates buyer-paid money from Etsy deductions and seller costs, including materials, packaging, postage, and optional labour. Sellers can select domestic or international orders and model 12% or 15% Offsite Ads charges, while the breakdown also identifies regulatory operating and payment-processing fees. The site says its shop-wide version will consume an Etsy sales export and sort products by margin, but that capability is planned rather than visible as an operating product.
