Seller Guides
Practical, plain-language guides on Etsy pricing, fees and profit — each one links to the Sellarithm calculator that puts it into practice.
Etsy Pricing & Fees
How to Price Etsy Products for Profit
A practical approach to setting prices that protect your margin, from cost inputs to discount planning.
Understanding Etsy Fees
A plain-language breakdown of listing, transaction, payment processing and Offsite Ads fees.
How to Calculate Etsy Profit

How Much Does Etsy Take From a Sale?

Etsy Markup vs Profit Margin
Markup divides profit by cost; margin divides it by revenue. When to use each, and what Etsy's fees do to both.
Etsy Digital Product Fees Explained
Digital products pay the same Etsy fees as physical ones, with no shipping base — worked examples at $12 and $6.99.
Etsy Offsite Ads 12% vs 15%
The $10,000 threshold, the $100 per-order cap, and the profit impact of each rate on the same $50 order.
