FAQ

Common questions

How do I calculate profit on Etsy?

To calculate profit, subtract your cost of goods sold (COGS), actual shipping costs, and all Etsy fees (listing, transaction, payment processing) from the total amount the buyer paid.

Is selling on Etsy still profitable in 2026?

Yes, but margins are tighter. You need a gross margin of at least 50-60% before fees to ensure you take home a healthy net profit.
