Common questions
How do I calculate a freelance rate for one job?
Enter costs or materials, minutes, and the hourly rate you want. Leave selling price blank. The suggested price covers costs, any fees you add, and that hourly target.
How do I price a handmade product?
List what you paid for each pack, sheet, or roll and how much of it this item uses. Line cost is pack cost × (used ÷ pack quantity). Add packaging, shipping you pay, and a materials buffer if you want.
Does the suggested price include marketplace fees?
Only if you add a fee percent (and optional flat fee) under Advanced Options. There is no Etsy or marketplace default.
