Etsy tumbler profit formula

Etsy transaction fee: (Sale price + Shipping charged) × 6.5%
Payment processing (US): (Sale price + Shipping charged) × 3% + $0.25
Net profit: Sale price + Shipping charged − Base cost − Shipping cost − Etsy fees

Assumptions:

  • Tumbler base cost and shipping are user-entered — not a verified default, since pricing varies too much by SKU
  • US Etsy Payments seller
  • Offsite Ads fee (15% under $10k/yr revenue, 12% at or above) is optional and off by default

Frequently Asked Questions

Why isn't there a default tumbler base cost preloaded?
Tumbler pricing varies far more than a basic t-shirt — 20oz vs 30oz, stainless steel vs plastic, single-wall vs insulated, and all-over-print vs single-side design all change the base cost significantly, and neither Printify nor Printful publish one standard SKU price the way they do for apparel. Rather than guess, this calculator asks you to enter your provider's actual price for your specific tumbler.
Where do I find my tumbler's actual base cost?
Open the specific tumbler product in your POD provider's catalog (Printify, Printful, or another provider) and check the price shown for your chosen size, material, and print area — that number, plus shipping, is what to enter here.
Do Etsy fees apply to tumbler shipping the same way as other products?
Yes. Etsy's 6.5% transaction fee and 3% + $0.25 payment processing (US) apply to the item price plus any shipping you charge the buyer, exactly like any other Etsy listing.
Are tumblers a good margin product for Etsy POD sellers?
They can be, because tumblers typically sell at a higher price point than basic apparel, which dilutes the fixed $0.20 listing fee and Etsy's $0.25 fixed payment processing fee as a percentage of the sale. Whether the margin actually works depends heavily on your provider's base cost — run the numbers before committing to a price.
Should I include Offsite Ads fees in my tumbler pricing?
If your shop has been running long enough to be subject to mandatory Offsite Ads (over $10,000 in sales in the past 365 days), some portion of your sales will carry an additional 12% fee. Toggle the Offsite Ads checkbox above to see how that changes your margin on this product.
