Etsy Ad ROI Calculator

Estimate whether your Etsy Ads are actually profitable after ad spend, product costs, shipping costs, and Etsy/payment fees.

Ad inputs

Enter the ad spend and revenue from the same reporting period. A full week or month usually gives a better picture than a single day.

This calculator estimates ad profitability. Etsy attribution, refunds, discounts, taxes, offsite ads, payment processing fees, and shipping adjustments can change your real results.
