Pricing 3D prints for Etsy

A listing price is not income. Etsy takes a share of the price and a fixed fee per order, and the tax you owe comes out of what is left. The calculator below already has the Etsy fee selected.

Enter what the print takes, then type a price you had in mind — the profit line tells you whether the sale is worth making.

Two fees of different natures

A marketplace fee has a percentage and a fixed part, and they behave differently. The percentage does not care about your currency; the fixed fee is stated in dollars and quietly distorts small orders — on a $6 item it can weigh more than the plastic.

Working backwards from what you want to keep

Most sellers think in take-home, not in listing price. The app turns the question around: name what you want to keep per item, and it finds the smallest price that leaves exactly that after fees, tax and cost.
