How to Calculate Exact Profit Per Item on Etsy (Free Google Sheets Template)

Are you an Etsy seller losing money without realizing it?

Etsy's fee structure is complex: 6.5% transaction fee, 3% + $0.25 payment processing, 12-15% offsite ads fee, plus shipping and materials. Most sellers guess their profit — and lose 20%+ margin.

That's why I built the Etsy Fee & Profit Calculator — a free* Google Sheets template that does the math for you.

Just input your listing price, quantity, and costs — 15 formulas auto-calculate your exact profit per item.

What you get:
✅ Instant transaction fee calculation (6.5%)
✅ Payment processing with $0.25 flat fee included
✅ Offsite ads fee based on your annual volume
✅ Profit margin % for every listing

✅ Scenario planner to find your winning price

I used to spend 2 hours/week on manual fee math. Now it takes 30 seconds.

👉 Grab the free template here (it's literally free, just make a copy)

*Free to all Gumroad subscribers — $27 standalone price. But I'm sharing the template as a free download this week so more sellers can optimize their pricing.

Question for fellow Etsy sellers: What's the biggest fee surprise you've encountered?
