Example session with this skill installed
I sell a $45 item with $6 shipping. Cost is $12, packaging $1, label $5. Transaction 6.5%, payment 3%+$0.25, 15% offsite ads, 0.25% regulatory fee. No VAT. Calculate profit for 1 unit.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the etsy fee
I'll calculate your Etsy economics. I have used the inputs provided; since no refund rate or period costs were mentioned, I have set those to 0.
Etsy Order Economics
| Line Item | Amount | Formula / Note |
|---|---|---|
| Gross Revenue | $51.00 | ($45.00 price × 1) + $6.00 shipping |
| Net Order Value | $51.00 | No discounts applied |
| Transaction Fee | $3.32 | $51.00 × 6.5% |
| Payment Processing | $1.78 | ($51.00 × 3%) + $0.25 |
| Listing/Relist Fee | $0.20 | Standard per-unit fee |
| Offsite Ads Fee | $7.65 | $51.00 × 15% |
| Regulatory Operating Fee | $0.13 | $51.00 × 0.25% |
| Total Marketplace Fees | $13.08 | Sum of above |
| Product Cost (COGS) | $12.00 | Per unit |
| Packaging Cost | $1.00 | Per unit |
| Shipping Label Cost | $5.00 | Actual seller cost |
| Total Variable Costs | $18.00 | Sum of costs |

About this skill
The problem
Generic profit calculators rely on flat percentages that miss your specific payment processing rates, regulatory fees, and VAT obligations. Relying on estimates leads to pricing products at a loss after accounting for offsite ads and shipping labels.
What it does
- Calculates net profit by separating transaction, payment processing, regulatory, and offsite ad fees.
- Factors in variable costs including COGS, packaging, shipping labels, and estimated refund reserves.
- Allocates monthly subscription and fixed tool costs across planned order volumes.
- Generates break-even matrices for different price points, discount levels, and ad spend scenarios.
- Reconciles actual Etsy payment account exports against theoretical models.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Standard LLM prompts often hallucinate Etsy fee structures or fail to apply discounts to the correct base value. This skill uses a strict multi-step arithmetic logic that forces explicit confirmation of every fee layer, including tax-on-fees and regulatory operating fees, ensuring your margins are based on math rather than assumptions.
Use cases
- Calculate the minimum list price needed to maintain a 30% margin after 15% offsite ad fees.
- Compare the profitability of offering "Free Shipping" versus charging the buyer for labels.
- Reconcile monthly bank deposits against actual order-level fee breakdowns.
- Model the impact of a 20% store-wide sale on net take-home pay per unit.
Known limitations
Requires manual input of seller-specific rates. Does not automatically pull data via Etsy API.
Requires manual input of specific fee rates and costs. Does not integrate directly with Etsy API. Performance depends on accuracy of seller-provided data.
