Etsy Fees Calculator for Hungary Sellers
Hungary is the highest standard-VAT market in this calculator, and it is also one of the few with an Etsy regulatory operating fee. The general ÁFA rate is 27%. Etsy's help page lists a regulatory operating fee of 1.97% for sellers in Hungary, charged on the item price plus shipping and gift wrap. Etsy Payments for a Hungarian bank account is published as 4% + €0.30, and payouts for that account are in euro even though everyday prices in Hungary are in forint.

What Hungary sellers need to know
Without an EU VAT number on file with Etsy, 27% ÁFA is added on top of Etsy's own fees, including that regulatory fee. Register a valid VAT number and the usual EU reverse-charge treatment applies: Etsy stops adding ÁFA to its fees and you account for it yourself. Buyer location does not pick a different payment-processing tier. The fixed part of processing stays €0.30, not a forint amount.
The 1.97% line is easy to miss on a single order and expensive across a year. On a €40 order it is €0.79 before any ÁFA on the fee. Use the calculator with your own price and shipping, and treat the 27% and 1.97% figures as checked on 13 November 2026 against the NAV booklet and Etsy's regulatory-fee page — the site owner still confirms them before this update is treated as final.

Frequently asked questions
Does Hungary have an Etsy regulatory operating fee?
Yes. Etsy's regulatory operating fee help page lists Hungary at 1.97% of the item price plus shipping and gift wrap. See the sources page for the link and the 13 November 2026 check.
What VAT rate does the calculator use for Hungarian seller fees?
27%, the general rate in Hungary's VAT Act as described in the NAV booklet for people starting in the VAT system. A lower rate can apply to specific goods; this calculator uses the general rate on Etsy's fees.
Are Hungarian Etsy payouts in forint?
Etsy's payments table lists Hungary with euro fees (4% + €0.30) and euro payouts to a Hungarian bank account. The listing fee is still set in US dollars and converted with the dated ECB rate.
Does ÁFA apply to the regulatory fee itself?
Yes, unless a VAT number on file with Etsy triggers reverse charge. The regulatory fee is one of the fee lines ÁFA is calculated on.
