For Etsy sellers

Find out what your hands really earn — then raise it with one price change.

Etsy sends you sales. It never sends you a pay stub. MakerWorth does. Drop in the files Etsy already gives you — read in your browser, never uploaded — and see the one number calculators can't show: what your shop actually paid you per hour, and the exact price to change to give yourself a raise.

Look before you sign up: the sample pay stub · or the free fee calculator and profit analyzer.

Etsy's own calculator estimates what you might make before you list. MakerWorth shows what you actually made after you sold.

The MakerWorth app · free to start

The pay stub Etsy never sends you.

Drop in the two CSV files Etsy already gives you. In about a minute you get your pay stub: what your shop really paid you per hour, every fee itemized to the penny, which products quietly lose money, and the exact new price to fix your worst one.

You'll see it in black and white — "Your shop made $1,308 last month. Your hands earned $8.39 an hour on the gift set. Here's the price that fixes it." Then you fix it.

Exact numbers. Honest words.

MakerWorth was built by a seller — I majored in business, opened an Etsy shop, and still couldn't answer what I earned per hour. Too many makers pour hours into beautiful work and quietly earn less than minimum wage, because the number that matters most is the one no tool would show them.

Here's how the honesty works: every number is computed by calculation code from your own Etsy files — never estimated, never AI. AI writes only the plain-English sentences around your numbers, and every figure in its writing is fact-checked against your real data before you see it. If even one doesn't match, its words are thrown away and you get a plain summary instead. A wrong number cannot reach you.

The math nobody shows you

Etsy tells you your revenue. It doesn't tell you that a $35 order can lose $9.03 to fees before you've bought a single bead — or that your "best-seller" might be your biggest money-loser once materials, shipping, and your hours enter the picture.

So most sellers price by copying competitors (who are also guessing), pay themselves last (which usually means never), and find out in April what the year actually earned.

You don't have a laziness problem or an SEO problem. You have a visibility problem. Nobody ever showed you your numbers.

Five minutes to your real numbers

1 · Download

Grab your orders CSV from Etsy (Shop Manager → Settings → Download Data). You already have this — most sellers have just never opened it.

2 · Upload

Drop it into the app — it’s read in your browser, never uploaded. Add materials + packaging cost and roughly how long each top seller takes to make — the two numbers only you know (about 20 seconds per product).

3 · Understand

See your real profit per product, your real hourly wage, and a plain-English verdict: what to charge, what to keep, what to kill, and what to set aside for taxes.

Questions sellers actually ask

What exactly do I get, and what does it cost?

Free: your full pay stub — every fee itemized from your own Etsy files, what your hands earn per hour, and one AI-written monthly review. Starter ($15/mo) adds unlimited reviews, a year of history, fee-change alerts, and your review by email. Pro ($29/mo) adds price testing, trends, and a whole-catalog price check. No card needed for Free; cancel paid plans anytime.

Is this another SEO/keyword tool?

No. There are eight of those. This is the money layer: what you actually earn, what to charge, and what to do next. It works whether or not you ever touch SEO again.

How is this different from profit trackers?

Profit dashboards stop at supplier costs and show you charts. MakerWorth counts the cost nobody else counts — your hours — so you see what your hands actually earn on every product. And instead of another dashboard to interpret, you get a plain-English verdict: raise this, keep that, retire the other one, and the exact price to change. Numbers in, decisions out.

Do I have to connect my Etsy account?

No. You use the CSV files Etsy already lets every seller download (Shop Manager → Settings → Download Data). Nothing connects to your shop and nothing can touch your listings.

Is my data safe?

Yes — your files are read entirely in your browser and never uploaded or stored. Only the computed monthly summary is saved to your account so your history works. We never see your card either; payments run through Stripe. See our privacy policy.

Does AI make up my numbers?

Never. All math is done by calculation code reading your real files. AI only writes the plain-English sentences — and every number in its writing is checked against your real figures before you see it. On any mismatch, its words are discarded and you get a plain summary instead.

I'm tiny — 20 orders a month. Is this for me?

Especially you. The tools that used to serve small makers now start at $49–99/month. Here your full pay stub is free, and the paid plans start at $15 — cancel anytime.

Is this just a spreadsheet?

No. It reads the real fees straight from your Etsy statement — nothing estimated — then does the math a spreadsheet won't: your true profit and hourly wage on every product, and the exact price that would pay you properly. You get clear recommendations, not a wall of cells to decode.
