Etsy discount planning

Etsy Sale Price Calculator for POD Sellers

Work backward from the sale price you want shoppers to see—or from the profit you want to keep—and calculate the regular Etsy list price you need.

Etsy currently allows percentage-off discounts from 5% to 75%.
Use your actual costs. The default production/shipping values are only an example starting point. Replace them with the costs shown in your own POD account.

Why this calculator exists

A 25% sale does not simply mean “take 25% off and hope the margin works.” If your target sale price is $27.99, your regular list price must be high enough that the discounted price still covers production, fulfillment shipping, Etsy fees, and your target profit.

Two ways to use it

Should you always run a 25% sale?

No. A discount should support your shop strategy rather than dictate it. Etsy currently lets sellers run percentage-off discounts from 5% to 75%, but that does not mean a large discount is profitable for every product. Price from your real economics first.

What about Offsite Ads?

If an order is attributed to Etsy Offsite Ads, the extra advertising fee can materially reduce margin. This calculator lets you model no Offsite Ads fee, 15%, or 12% before choosing your regular list price.
