Etsy Shipping Calculator
Most sellers price shipping after they price the product, then discover the fee stack punishes it twice: you pay your carrier in full, and the 6.5% transaction fee also applies to whatever you charge for shipping. Enter your real carrier cost plus packaging in the shipping field, and this calculator shows the net profit for the whole sale — item, platform fees and shipping together — before you commit to free shipping, a flat rate or per-item shipping. Free shipping can lift conversions, but only if your price already covers the cost, so check the margin first.

FAQ
Do I pay transaction fees on shipping?
Yes. The 6.5% transaction fee applies to item price plus shipping and gift wrap, so every dollar of shipping costs you the carrier rate plus 6.5% on top.
Is free shipping worth it?
Free shipping can lift conversions, but the cost must be built into your price. Run the same product at price-plus-shipping versus free-shipping-inclusive and compare the net.
How should I price shipping?
Cover your real carrier cost plus packaging, then account for the transaction fee on the shipping amount. A buffer for overage is cheaper than losing the margin.
