Etsy & Handmade Studio
The all-in-one hub for Etsy and handmade sellers — a full fee and profit calculator, straight talk on how Offsite Ads actually hits your margin, and a live comparison against every other platform you might be listing on.
Etsy Fee Calculator
Calculate your net profit on Etsy after listing, transaction, payment processing, and Offsite Ads fees — modeled the way Etsy actually charges them, on your full order total including shipping, not just the item price.
Marketplace Fee Matrix
Compare your Etsy net profit side by side against eBay, Amazon FBA, Poshmark, and Shopify for the same product.
The Offsite Ads flashpoint
Offsite Ads is the single most-cited pain point in Etsy seller communities, and for good reason: sellers are auto-enrolled and cannot opt out once they cross $10,000 in trailing-12-month sales, and the fee — 12% for high-earners, 15% otherwise — is charged on the full order total, including shipping and tax, not just the item price. One documented example makes the gap concrete: a $10 item with a $22.23 total transaction was charged $3.13 in Offsite Ads (15% of $22.23) — "this math reduces a seller's margin not by 15% but by 31.3%." It's not a new complaint either: a 2022 strike petition drew 56,686 signatures from 20,494 participating sellers protesting a transaction-fee hike from 5% to 6.5%, with Offsite Ads named as making fees "an unpredictable expense that can take more than 20% of each transaction." The $0.20-per-listing renewal — every 4 months or immediately on sale, whichever comes first — is another repeated point of confusion that quietly adds up across a large shop.
What this hub covers
The Etsy Fee calculator above applies the listing fee, transaction fee, payment processing, and — when it applies — the Offsite Ads fee to your full order total, exactly like Etsy actually charges it, instead of quietly applying it to item price alone the way a simplified calculator might. The Marketplace Fee Matrix then runs the same product through Etsy, eBay, Amazon FBA, Poshmark, and Shopify side by side, so you can see whether Etsy is actually your most profitable channel for a given product before committing more inventory to it.
Who this is for
For Etsy and handmade sellers pricing a new listing, checking whether Offsite Ads enrollment actually changes their break-even point, or deciding whether a product would do better listed somewhere else entirely.
