For Etsy makers
Etsy tells you what a thing sold for. It never tells you what it cost you to make — so the fee page and the supply shelf never meet, and the number that matters stays invisible. MyKeptMoney joins them: your materials, your recipes, and Etsy's own files, worked out product by product.
Free — no email, no catch
Tell it what a piece costs you and the share you want to keep, and it works out the price to list at — for an ordinary sale, and for a sale that arrives through Etsy's Offsite Ads, so an ad sale never quietly loses you money. It runs on the same fee table as the paid tracker, checked against Etsy's published rates.
The full tool
The calculator prices one piece. The tracker keeps the books for your whole shop: every product, every order, every fee, every material — and one screen that answers the only question that matters, product by product.
$45, once. The first 100 buyers pay the $35 founding price. No subscription, no monthly bill, nothing that renews.
Your monthly statement knows what Etsy took. Your orders file knows what sold. Neither one knows what the wax, the silver, or the clay cost you — that part lives in your head and on your receipts.
So a shop can look healthy while one product quietly loses money on every sale. Sellers ask in the forums how to calculate Etsy profit with materials included, and the honest answer has always been: join three piles of paper by hand.
An Etsy inventory spreadsheet tracks stock. A fee calculator prices one sale. Neither joins your orders to your recipes — and the join is the whole job. That is the part MyKeptMoney does.
A candle sells for $30, with $5 charged for shipping, to a US buyer. Here is the whole walk — the same one the tracker does for every order:
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| What the buyer paid ($30 item + $5 shipping) | $35.00 |
| Transaction fee — 6.5% of $35 | −$2.28 |
| Payment processing — 3% of $35, plus $0.25 | −$1.30 |
| Listing fee | −$0.20 |
| Materials in the candle (half a pound of wax at $5 a pound) | −$2.50 |
| What the maker kept | $28.72 |
Fee rates checked November 2026 against Etsy's published fee schedule. The full walk, with every fee Etsy charges, is in Etsy fees explained.
Craftybase became Stocksmith in July 2026 and now builds for small manufacturers. The tier with the tax report costs $49 a month — $588 a year, every year. If you are a solo maker who wants to know what you kept, there is an honest comparison:
No. You pay once — $45, or $35 if you are one of the first 100 buyers — and the tracker is yours. There is no monthly bill, and nothing renews.
No. Cost tracking is not tax advice. This tool organizes your own numbers; it does not prepare or file your taxes. Show the worksheet to your tax preparer.
From the files Etsy itself gives you. In Shop Manager you can download your orders, your order items, and your monthly statements. The tracker reads those files, joins them with your materials and recipes, and works out the rest from Etsy's published rates. Nothing is scraped, and we never ask for your Etsy password.
Then the tracker shows its sales and its fees, but no kept number. It will never invent a cost for you. Add the recipe and the number appears.
Yes. Pick your bank country once, and the fee table applies your country's rates — including the regulatory operating fee and, if you are not VAT-registered, the VAT Etsy adds to its own fees. The rates are versioned by date, so an order from before Etsy's 22 June 2026 change still computes at the old rate.
No. The tracker lives on the web and opens with the key we email you the moment your payment lands. It works on the phone in your pocket and the computer on your desk.
