Digital Product Profit Calculator
Profit math for near-zero-cost digital downloads.
Selling digital downloads on Etsy
Digital products — printables, templates, SVGs, presets — are listed once and sold unlimited times with no per-order work or shipping. After Etsy’s fees you keep most of every sale, which is why margins look so different from physical goods. The one thing to watch is Offsite Ads: if a sale comes through Etsy’s external advertising, 15% comes off the top.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my digital product profit so high?
Digital downloads have no materials, printing or shipping cost, so after Etsy’s fees you keep roughly 87–90% of the sale price. That is the big appeal of selling digital.
What fees apply to Etsy digital downloads?
The same as physical items minus shipping: a $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee, and payment processing (3% + $0.25 in the US). Offsite Ads add 15% only when a sale comes from Etsy’s ads.
