2. How to Calculate Etsy Net Profit & Margin
$$\text{Gross Revenue} = \text{Item Price} + \text{Shipping Charged} + \text{Gift Wrap}$$
$$\text{Total Etsy Fees} = \text{Listing Fee} + \text{Transaction Fee} + \text{Payment Fee} + \text{Offsite Ads Fee}$$
$$\text{Net Profit} = \text{Gross Revenue} - \text{Total Etsy Fees} - \text{Material Cost} - \text{Shipping Cost}$$
