Throw Pillow Etsy Profit Calculator

Etsy takes three separate bites out of every Throw Pillow sale — a $0.20 listing fee, a 6.5% transaction fee, and 3% + $0.25 payment processing — all charged on your item price plus shipping. Right now Printful fulfills the Throw Pillow for $13.57 + $4.99 shipping, and Printify from $35.39 + $17.69; most sellers list it between $24.99 and $34.99.

At a $29.99 price with free shipping and Printful fulfillment, that's $3.30 in Etsy fees, leaving $8.13 profit per sale — a 27.1% margin, or roughly 123 sales to clear $1,000 in profit. For the Throw Pillow, Printful is the more profitable fulfiller on Etsy — about $34.52 more per sale at $29.99 (all-in cost $18.56 on Printful vs $53.08 on Printify). Breakeven — the price where profit hits $0 — is $21.01 on Printful; sell below that and you're paying to make the sale.

One cost this calculator leaves out: Etsy Offsite Ads can add 12–15% on top, but only when a sale comes through one of those ads — so your real average fee sits a little above the numbers here.
