Etsy Seller Profit Calculator
Scale your per-sale numbers into a full monthly and annual business view. Enter your average order details and monthly sales volume to see total Etsy fees paid, production costs, and your monthly net profit. Use it to set revenue goals, evaluate growth scenarios, and plan how many sales you need to hit your income target.
Worked Example — 80 orders/month at $38 average
Monthly volume changes dramatically affect annual income. Growing from 80 to 100 orders/month at the same margin would add ~$4,700 per year to this seller's bottom line.
Planning Your Etsy Business with Monthly Profit
Understanding your per-sale profit is essential, but running an Etsy shop is a business — and businesses run on monthly and annual numbers. Monthly profit projections help you answer: "How many sales do I need to replace my current income?" or "What happens to my bottom line if I raise my price by $5?" Use this calculator to model different scenarios before committing to pricing or sales volume targets.
A common oversight: Etsy's fees on a 80-order month aren't trivial. At $38 average price, you'd pay roughly $300+ per month in transaction and processing fees alone — before listing fees and any ads. Knowing this upfront helps you price to absorb those costs and still hit your income goal.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Etsy sales do I need to make $1,000/month profit?
It depends on your profit per sale. If you clear $15 per sale after all fees and costs, you'd need ~67 orders/month. If you clear $25 per sale, you'd need ~40 orders. Use this calculator to find your exact break-even point: enter your costs and adjust monthly sales until the net profit hits your target.
Does Etsy have a monthly subscription fee?
Etsy offers an optional Etsy Plus plan for $10/month, which includes listing credits, discounts on custom web addresses, and other shop tools. The standard Etsy plan has no monthly fee — you only pay per listing and per sale. This calculator does not include the Plus subscription; add $10 to your monthly cost if you're enrolled.
Should I include Etsy Ads in my monthly cost?
Yes. Etsy Ads (promoted listings within Etsy search) are separate from Offsite Ads and are a daily budget you set yourself. If you run Etsy Ads, add your average monthly Etsy Ads spend to your production costs in this calculator. Tracking ROAS (return on ad spend) alongside your profit per sale will tell you whether your ads are adding or destroying value.
