How to Use This Tool
Etsy's deposit is not the same as an order's profit. The payout calculation begins with item price plus shipping charged to the buyer, then removes Etsy's listing, transaction, payment-processing, advertising and other entered fees. Profit goes one step further by subtracting the product and actual shipping costs.
Shipping affects both sides
Etsy documents that its transaction fee applies to the total order amount including shipping and gift wrap. Charging a buyer five dollars for postage therefore does not add a full five dollars to payout. Enter what the buyer pays and what the carrier costs you in separate fields so the difference stays visible.
Refresh country-specific inputs
The default payment-processing rate is a US example. Etsy Payments rates differ by country, and regulatory operating fees, currency conversion, VAT on seller fees, deposits and advertising can change the real total. Copy the current values from Etsy's help pages and your Payment account rather than treating a saved result as permanent.

- Defaults illustrate a US Etsy Payments order and remain editable because rates, taxes and seller circumstances change.
- Payout excludes product and fulfilment costs; profit subtracts those business costs separately.
