About This Tool
The E-Commerce Seller Fee & Net Profit Calculator computes marketplace transaction deductions, payment gateway fees, and final profit margins across Etsy, Shopify, eBay, and Amazon seller accounts.
### Marketplace Fee Schedules & Deduction Formulas Total customer billing equals item retail price plus buyer shipping ($Total = Price + Shipping$). Platform fee deductions follow official schedule tiers: - Etsy: Deducts $0.20 listing fee + 6.5% transaction fee on total + 3.0% payment processing fee + $0.25 order charge: $$Fee = \$0.20 + (Total \times 0.065) + (Total \times 0.03) + \$0.25$$ - Shopify / Stripe: Deducts standard gateway processing of 2.9% + $0.30: $$Fee = (Total \times 0.029) + \$0.30$$ - eBay: Deducts standard category final value fee of 13.25% + $0.30 insertion/order fee: $$Fee = (Total \times 0.1325) + \$0.30$$ - Amazon: Deducts category standard 15% referral commission: $$Fee = Total \times 0.15$$ - Net Take-Home Profit & Margin: $$\text{Net Profit} = Total - Fee - \text{Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)}$$ $$\text{Profit Margin (\%)} = \left(\frac{\text{Net Profit}}{Total}\right) \times 100$$
### Worked Numeric Example Consider selling a handcrafted ceramic mug on Etsy: - Retail Price: $45.00, Shipping Charged: $5.00 ($Total = \$50.00$) - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): $14.00 - Fee Calculation: - Listing Fee: $0.20 - Transaction Cut (6.5%): $50.00 \times 0.065 = \$3.25$ - Payment Gateway (3.0% + $0.25): $(50.00 \times 0.03) + 0.25 = \$1.75$ - Total Deductions: $0.20 + 3.25 + 1.75 = \$5.20$ (10.4% of sale) - Take-Home Profit: $50.00 - 5.20 - 14.00 = \$30.80$ ($61.6\%$ net margin)

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Etsy charge transaction fees on buyer shipping?
Etsy applies its 6.5% transaction fee to total order value (item price plus shipping) to prevent sellers from inflating shipping fees to evade commission fees.
Does Shopify charge transaction fees in addition to credit card processing?
When using Shopify Payments, no additional transaction fee is charged beyond card processing (2.9% + 30ยข on Basic). Third-party gateways incur a 0.5% to 2.0% additional fee.
Are my store sales numbers or wholesale cost figures stored online?
No. All calculations run strictly in client-side browser memory.
