Etsy Fee Calculator Australia

This calculator works out Etsy fees for shops based in Australia, in Australian dollars. Every Etsy shop pays a 6.5% transaction fee on the item price, postage and gift wrap, and a US$0.20 listing fee, about A$0.29 at the 10 November 2026 ECB cross rate. Australian shops pay Etsy Payments processing of 3% + A$0.25 on domestic orders and 4% + A$0.25 on international orders. Australia has no regulatory operating fee. Etsy also charges 10% GST on its seller fees unless you have given Etsy your GST registration details, so GST-registered shops pay one-eleventh less. Figures were checked against Etsy's help pages on 11 November 2026.

Etsy fees for an Australian shop

fees = listing (≈ A$0.29) + 6.5% × (item + postage + gift wrap) + processing (3% or 4%) × order total + A$0.25 [+ Offsite Ads]
GST on fees = 10% × fees, unless Etsy has your GST registration
net = order total − fees − GST on fees − costs

Worked example: A$40 item with A$10 postage

The GST-registered column keeps less because one-eleventh of a GST-inclusive Australian price belongs to the ATO. For exports, GST treatment depends on your circumstances, so the calculator only applies the output-GST deduction when you switch registration on; check with the ATO or your accountant if you export regularly.

How the fee share changes with order size

The fixed parts, the listing fee and the A$0.25 processing charge plus GST on both, weigh most on small orders. Bundling items, or setting a minimum price for low-cost products, keeps the effective rate close to 11%.

Etsy compared with other Australian options

For the same A$40 item with A$10 postage, a seller in eBay Australia's free-selling programme pays no final value fee, and a Depop seller pays A$1.60 in Depop Payments processing without boosting. Etsy's A$5.82 buys access to a marketplace focused on handmade, vintage and craft supplies, with buyers who search for exactly that. Use the country switcher and the platform links to compare the same sale on each calculator.

Is GST registration worth it for an Etsy shop?

Under ATO rules you must register for GST once your GST turnover reaches A$75,000; below that it is optional, and if you register voluntarily you generally stay registered for at least 12 months. For a small shop the trade-off is simple. Registration saves the 10% GST on Etsy's fees, about A$0.53 on the example order, but costs one-eleventh of every domestic sale, A$4.55 on the same order, unless you raise prices. Most hobby and side-business shops are better off unregistered until they approach the threshold.

Pricing tips for Australian Etsy shops

• International buyers cost one percentage point more in processing, so a slightly higher international postage price can cover it.
• Free postage moves the 6.5% transaction fee onto a higher item price; it does not avoid it.
• The listing fee is billed in US dollars, so the Australian amount moves with the exchange rate. We use the ECB cross rate of 10 November 2026 (A$1.6244 and US$1.1214 per euro).
• Offsite Ads can take 15% of an order for shops under US$10,000 a year. Test the switch before relying on it for low-priced items.
• Use the target-profit field to find the price that leaves the margin you want after all fees and GST.

What the calculator leaves out

• Currency conversion fees if you list in a currency other than your payment account's currency. List in AUD to avoid them.
• Etsy Ads, shipping labels, Etsy Plus and other optional services.
• Income tax on your profit.

How to use this calculator

1. Enter price and postage in AUD. Transaction and processing fees both include postage.
2. Choose domestic or international. International orders pay 4% processing instead of 3%.
3. Set GST registration. Without registration Etsy adds 10% GST to its fees.
4. Add costs and read the net. Materials and postage costs turn the payout into profit.
