## Common questions

### How much does Etsy take in the UK?

Three fees on the price you display: 6.5% transaction fee, 0.48% Regulatory Operating fee, and 4% plus £0.20 to process the payment. On a £100 order that comes to £11.18 in total, leaving you £88.82.

### What is Etsy's Regulatory Operating fee?

A charge of 0.48% that Etsy adds on top of the transaction fee, on the same order total, in a set of countries it names — the UK among them. A seller in the United States never pays it: on a £100 order that's an extra £0.48 a US seller's bill never carries.

### Does Etsy charge VAT on its own fees?

Yes, unless the seller has given Etsy a VAT ID — in which case the charge no longer applies. Etsy publishes no rate for it, so this calculator names the charge rather than guess at a figure: a seller who isn't VAT-registered pays a little more than this calculator's totals show.

### Why doesn't this calculator include Etsy's listing fee?

Etsy publishes it in US dollars, twenty cents a listing, for every seller including its UK ones, and converts it to pounds at the market rate on the day it is charged. There is no published pound amount to calculate from, so this calculator leaves the fee out rather than invent an exchange rate.
