Gross Revenue = Sales Quantity × Product Price
Etsy Listing Fee = Sales Quantity × $0.20
Etsy Transaction Fee = Gross Revenue × 6.5%
Etsy Payment Processing Fee = Gross Revenue × 3.0% + (Sales Quantity × $0.25)
Etsy Offsite Ads Fee = Gross Revenue × Ad Conversion % × Ad Fee % (12% or 15%)
Net Profit = Gross Revenue - Total Etsy Fees
Profit Margin = (Net Profit / Gross Revenue) × 100

Etsy transaction fee is flat 6.5%. Payment processing fee rates vary internationally, but standard US rates are 3% + $0.25.
