How it works

Three steps to a number you trust.

  1. Open Settings. Etsy's current fees are pre-filled: 9.5% plus $0.45 per order. Set your labor rate and the margin you want to keep.
  2. Open Materials. Replace the sample shelf with what you actually buy: price, pack size, unit, and yield % for anything you waste.
  3. Open Product Pricing. Name the product and say how many the batch makes.

Questions

Good to know.

Does this work in Excel and Google Sheets?
Both. Google Sheets: File > Import, or open and make a copy. Excel 365: open it directly. No macros, no add-ons, nothing to install.
Are Etsy's fees up to date?
The defaults are 6.5% transaction, 3% plus $0.25 payment processing, and $0.20 listing, entered as 9.5% and $0.45. Etsy changes these occasionally; both live on the Settings sheet.
Does it handle Offsite Ads?
Not as a separate field, because it only applies to some orders. To model the worst case, raise the platform fee by 15%.
What is yield % and do I have to use it?
It is how much of what you buy you can actually use. Ribbon has scraps; fragrance oil spills. Leave it at 100 where nothing is wasted.
I'm not confident with spreadsheets. Will I manage?
Yes. The white cells are the only ones you touch. The Quick-Start Guide has your first real number on screen in about five minutes, and if you get stuck, message me.

One mispriced job costs more than this.

$19 once, and it's yours to keep. It pays for itself the first time it stops you underpricing a job or leaving margin on the table. No subscription, no login, just a file that does the maths.
