Vietnam Etsy profit calculator — net margin per sale

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

Profit formula (per order)

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

Vietnam Etsy fees include transaction %, local payment processing, the 1.24% regulatory operating fee, listing cost spread across units sold, and optional off-site ads.

Vietnam fee stack (2026 typical)

• Listing: $0.20 per listing (renewed every 4 months or on sale)
• Transaction: 6.5% of sale price + delivery
• Payment processing: ~4.5% + fixed fee per order (local card rates)
• Regulatory operating fee: 1.24% on order total (item + shipping charged)
• Currency conversion: ~2.5% if buyer pays in non-USD
• Off-site ads: 15% if enabled and order attributed (12% above $10K/yr Etsy sales)

Example: $28 handmade item

$28 sale · $9 COGS · $5 shipping · no ads → after Etsy stack + 1.24% regulatory you might keep ~$10–12, not $19.

At 40 units/month that's $280–360/mo difference between naive and real math — enough to decide if a SKU is worth scaling.

Why the 1.24% regulatory fee matters

Vietnam's regulatory operating fee is the second-highest globally (only Türkiye is higher post–June 22). On $10,000 annual sales that's $124/yr most free calcs skip. Insight Agent and Craftybase include Vietnam in their 10-country presets — ProfitLens applies 1.24% automatically when you select Vietnam as seller region.

On sub-$20 handmade flips the 1.24% + fixed processing erodes margin faster than US sellers face — price with regulatory included before listing.

Vietnam vs India sellers

India's regulatory fee drops to 0.05% on June 22; Vietnam stays at 1.24%. Cross-border sellers comparing markets should not use India spreadsheets for Vietnam pricing — the fee gap is ~1.2pp on every order.

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 with live regulatory rates is enough.
