Editorial interest 81/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A free Etsy profit calculator that subtracts marketplace fees, materials, postage, advertising, and the maker’s own time from each order.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

The calculator builds a receipt from order details, seller costs, marketplace fee presets, and advertising attribution, then calculates retained profit and margin. Its inputs include labour and postage even when the buyer pays for shipping, exposing costs that simpler revenue-minus-fees tools omit. Sellers can edit the displayed rates, while the page reports presets for eight marketplaces and six languages and identifies a $100 cap on Offsite Ads per order.
