Fee stack creep
Etsy listing fees, transaction fees, offsite ads, payment processing, and shipping all compound. A $30 listing that looks like $20 profit often leaves you $8. Without a tracker, you never know.
Six spreadsheet templates built for Etsy sellers, KDP authors, POD operators, and digital product creators — built to pair with ProfitToolsLab calculators so you can track what you actually keep after platform fees.
The problem
Etsy listing fees, transaction fees, offsite ads, payment processing, and shipping all compound. A $30 listing that looks like $20 profit often leaves you $8. Without a tracker, you never know.
KDP royalty rates change by market, format, and price tier. Most authors price by gut feel and leave 20–30% on the table by missing the royalty cliff at $9.99.
Selling on Etsy, Redbubble, Printful, and Gumroad at once? Revenue looks fine until you add it all up and realize three of the four platforms aren't worth your time.
What's inside
Each template is a CSV file that opens in Google Sheets, Excel, Numbers, or any spreadsheet app. Pre-built formulas, platform benchmarks, and clear instructions included.
Log every listing: product cost, Etsy fees, shipping, and sale price. Auto-calculates net margin per listing and flags any item where you're working for free after fees. Built-in benchmark: 40%+ margin is healthy on Etsy.
Pairs with Etsy Fee CalculatorTrack every book across formats (paperback, hardcover, Kindle) and marketplaces (US, UK, EU). Logs list price, royalty rate, print cost, and net royalty. Includes the $9.99 Kindle threshold alert and monthly royalty projection.
Pairs with KDP Royalty CalculatorTrack every print-on-demand product across platforms (Printful, Printify, Redbubble, TeePublic). Logs base cost, retail price, platform cut, and your actual margin. Identifies which products and platforms are worth keeping.
Pairs with POD Profit Margin CalculatorPrice any digital product — ebooks, templates, presets, courses, printables — using a cost-plus + value-based hybrid model. Includes production time cost, competitor price benchmarks, and price-tier decision tree.
