Australia Etsy profit calculator — net margin per sale

Australian Etsy sellers often quote profit as sale price minus product cost. Real profit is what lands in your account after COGS, fees, shipping you pay, and ads — in AUD.

Profit formula (per order)

Net profit = Sale price − COGS − Outbound shipping − Etsy fees − Ad cost per unit

Australian Etsy fees include transaction %, payment processing (AUD card rates), listing cost spread across units sold, and optional off-site ads.

Australia fee stack (2026 typical)

• Listing: A$0.30 per listing (renewed every 4 months or on sale)
• Transaction: 6.5% of sale price + delivery
• Payment processing: ~3% + A$0.30 per order (AUD card rates)
• Currency conversion: ~2.5% if buyer pays in non-AUD (common for US/UK buyers)
• Off-site ads: 15% if enabled and order attributed

Example: A$42 handmade mug

A$42 sale · A$11 COGS · A$7 shipping · no ads → after Etsy stack you might keep ~A$17–19, not A$31.

At 40 units/month that's A$480–560/mo difference between naive and real math — enough to decide if a SKU is worth scaling.

Australia vs US sellers

Australian sellers face AUD payment processing and occasional FX conversion on international buyers. A A$25 item with A$6 COGS often nets under A$14 — margin % matters more than headline sale price. GST on supplies is separate from Etsy fees but affects true COGS.

When to upgrade from a calculator

If you're doing 50+ orders/month across Etsy and Shopify, connected tools like TrueProfit (US$35+/mo) auto-pull fees from your store. Until then, fast what-if math is enough.
