The formula
Exactly what this calculator does with your numbers — no hidden assumptions.

Fixed vs percentage fees
Etsy charges a fixed $0.20 listing fee and $0.25 processing fee. On low-priced items ($2–$4), these fixed fees represent a higher percentage of your revenue.
Auto-renewal listing fee
Etsy charges $0.20 each time a digital file sells to automatically renew the listing for the next buyer.
