UK Etsy Fee Calculator

Every fee Etsy charges UK sellers on one sale — including the three that surprise people: the transaction fee on your shipping, offsite ads at 12–15%, and 20% VAT on all fees if you're not VAT-registered. Runs in your browser — nothing uploaded, no signup.

What Etsy takes on this sale

—

This tool is a calculator, not tax, accounting or financial advice. It models a single-unit sale; multi-quantity listings pay a fresh £0.15 listing fee per unit sold, which is what the per-sale listing fee above reflects.

Work backwards: what should I charge?

The more useful question, and the one arithmetic can't answer by trial and error: you know what you want to clear, so what does the item have to be priced at? This solves it directly, using your costs, shipping and fee settings from above.
