Print-on-Demand Profit Calculator: Etsy, Amazon Merch, Redbubble

Print-on-Demand Profit Calculator

Your sale price isn't your income — and the gap between the two is different on every platform. Etsy deducts published fees from a price you set. Amazon Merch on Demand pays a fixed royalty per tier. Redbubble pays a margin you set yourself on a base price it controls. Pick your platform below; the inputs and math change to match.

PlatformEach platform pays differently — the inputs below change to match.

Item sale price ($)The price the buyer sees, before tax.

Shipping you charge ($)Etsy's fees apply to price + shipping.

Your product cost ($)What your print partner charges you (blank + printing + their shipping).

Sale via Offsite Ads?Only charged when Etsy's ads bring the sale.

Take-home per sale-$0.45Enter a sale price to see what you actually keep after Etsy's fees.

How it works: take-home = price + shipping − Etsy fees − your product cost. Etsy's fees are its published US rates — $0.20 listing, 6.5% transaction, 3% + $0.25 payment processing, and an optional 15% Offsite Ads fee (capped at $100 per order) — all charged on price + shipping. This excludes sales tax (Etsy collects and remits that for US sellers) and any currency-conversion fee.
