Seller fee calculators that tell you what you actually keep
Every charge a marketplace takes from one order, in the right currency, with the date each rate was last checked. Built for people who price their own work.

How the numbers are produced
A fee calculator is only as good as the date behind it. This is the process every page on the site follows.
Rates come from the platform
Every figure is taken from the marketplace’s own fee page, not from a blog post or a third-party summary.
The check date is published
Each calculator shows the day the rates were last verified, so you can judge how much to trust it.
Rate and page change together
When a platform changes a fee, the calculator and the verification date are updated in the same pass.
What a UK order actually costs
Seven charges apply to a single Etsy UK sale. Two of them appear on the order page. The rest arrive later.

|---|---|---|
| Listing fee | £0.15 ($0.20) | Each listing, and again every four months |
| Transaction fee | 6.5% | Item, postage and gift wrap |
| Payment processing | 4% + £0.20 | Item, postage and gift wrap |
| Regulatory operating fee | 0.48% | Item, postage and gift wrap |
| Offsite Ads | 15% or 12% | Order total, capped at $100 per order |
| Currency conversion | 2.5% | The sale, when currencies differ |
| VAT on fees | 20% | All of the above, without a VAT number on file |
