Etsy Fee Calculator Spreadsheet
The short answer
On a C$45 sale in Canada, Etsy fees take C$5.03 and you keep C$39.97. On C$120, fees take C$12.52. This spreadsheet runs that stack on every sale.
An etsy fee calculator spreadsheet runs the whole Etsy fee stack on every sale, not just the one fee you remember: on a C$45 sale in Canada, the fees take C$5.03 and you keep C$39.97 before your costs. On a C$120 sale, fees take C$12.52 and you keep C$107.48.
Educational information, not financial advice. Etsy sets its own rates and can change them; your seller location and the buyer's location change the stack.
What does Etsy actually take on a Canadian sale?
Four fees land on a domestic order from a Canada based seller, at Etsy's published rates. The transaction fee is 6.5% of the item price. Payment processing is 3% plus C$0.25. The regulatory operating fee is 0.50%. The listing fee is US$0.20, about C$0.27, and it is charged once per listing, spread here across one sale so the stack is complete.
| Item price | Transaction 6.5% | Processing 3% + C$0.25 | Regulatory 0.50% | Listing | Total fees | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| C$45 | C$2.93 | C$1.60 | C$0.23 | C$0.27 | C$5.03 | C$39.97 |
| C$120 | C$7.80 | C$3.85 | C$0.60 | C$0.27 | C$12.52 | C$107.48 |
Two lessons hide in that table. First, the stack is about 11% of a C$45 sale and about 10% of a C$120 sale, before materials, packaging or shipping costs. Pricing that ignores it quietly donates a tenth of every order. Second, the fixed parts, the C$0.25 processing piece and the listing fee, punish cheap items hardest, which is why small items need the math most.
One fee is not in the table: the Offsite Ads fee. It applies only to sales that come from Etsy's offsite advertising, so it is not part of an ordinary sale's stack. If an ad brings you a sale, that order carries the extra fee, and the spreadsheet records it on that sale instead of spreading it over all of them.
How does the spreadsheet run this for you?
The Etsy Profit Tracker Spreadsheet applies that same stack to every sale you enter:
- Every Etsy fee on each sale: transaction, processing, listing and regulatory, line by line.
- True profit per listing on one dashboard, once your material costs join the fees.
- Recipe costing to the gram and stock tracking, with a filled example shop included.
- A tax summary for US Schedule C and Canada T2125 from the same data.
You can run one sale on paper in a minute, and this page just did. The sheet earns its place when there are hundreds of sales, each with its own price, and the fee stack has to be right on every one without you retyping the rates. If a subscription tool brought you here instead, our sellerboard alternative page prices that choice honestly. If your costs are the murky half, the etsy cogs tracker spreadsheet for makers page runs one product's costs to the cent.
Who is this for, and who should skip it?
This fits an Etsy seller in Canada who prices by feel and wants the real kept amount on every listing. Skip it if you sell in tiny volume and one worked example per price point already covers your shop. Skip it, too, if most of your sales are ad attributed: your real stack includes the Offsite Ads fee on those orders, and any tool you use has to record it sale by sale, as this one does.
FAQ
What percentage does Etsy take in Canada? On the worked examples, about 11% of a C$45 sale and about 10% of a C$120 sale, counting all four fees. The percent falls as the price rises, because two parts of the stack are fixed amounts rather than percents.
Is the listing fee charged on every sale? No. The listing fee is charged once when a listing is published or renewed, at US$0.20. This page spreads it across one sale so you can see the full stack in one place. In the spreadsheet it is recorded as the listing cost it is.
Why is the Offsite Ads fee not in the table? Because it only applies to sales that Etsy's offsite ads brought in. Adding it to every sale would overstate the ordinary stack. The spreadsheet applies it only to the sales it actually touched.
Does the spreadsheet handle US sellers too? Yes. The fee rates differ by seller location, and the workbook carries a tax summary for US Schedule C as well as Canada T2125. Enter your location's rates and the same stack runs on your sales.
What if the file does not work for us? Digital downloads are not refunded, and the listing says so up front. What you get instead is our fix-it promise: if the file will not open or a formula is broken, we fix it or replace it until it works. You are never left holding a broken workbook and a shrug.
How the numbers were run
Each fee is computed on the item price at the stated rate, then rounded to the nearest cent: 6.5% for the transaction fee, 3% plus C$0.25 for processing, and 0.50% for the regulatory fee. The US$0.20 listing fee is shown at about C$0.27. Totals are the sum of the rounded parts, and the kept amount is the price minus the total fees, before any product costs.
