Etsy Profit Margin Guide

Profit margin shows how much of each sale remains as profit after costs. For Etsy sellers, margin depends on product price, materials, shipping, packaging, labor, fees, refunds, ads, and discounts.

Basic margin formula

Profit margin is estimated by dividing net profit by revenue. For example, if a sale brings in $30 and the estimated profit is $9, the estimated margin is 30%.

Why margins change

Discounts, ads, free shipping, returns, and rising material costs can reduce profit margin. Sellers should review product margins regularly.
