Pricing Tips for Etsy Sellers
Aim for 20%+ Profit Margin
Healthy Etsy shops typically maintain 20-30% net profit margins. This gives you room for promotions and unexpected costs.
Factor in All Fees
Don't forget payment processing fees! They add up quickly. A $20 item with $5 shipping = $0.75 + $0.25 = $1.00 in payment fees alone.
Test Ad Profitability
Use the calculator to see if Etsy Ads are profitable at different ad percentages. If ads eat your margin, optimize your listings first.
Don't Underestimate Shipping
Shipping costs can vary. Always account for packaging materials, labels, and actual postage costs, not just what you charge customers.
Discount Strategically
A 20% discount on a $30 item reduces revenue by $6, but your fees stay the same. Make sure discounts don't push you into negative profit.
Review Regularly
Etsy fees can change, and your costs fluctuate. Recalculate periodically, especially when adjusting prices or launching promotions.
