Brimley is a Chrome side-panel calculator that shows what a seller actually
keeps from an Etsy sale after every fee — listing, transaction, payment
processing, Offsite Ads, regulatory operating fee, and country VAT on
fees for sellers in VAT-regime markets.
Click the toolbar icon, the calculator opens in Chrome's side panel
beside any tab — Etsy Stats, your bookkeeping spreadsheet, a competitor
listing, anything. Same fee engine as the web tool at getbrimley.com.
Coverage: 24 countries with country-specific payment processing rates
(US 3% + $0.25, UK 4% + £0.20, Canada 3% + C$0.25, etc.), DST regulatory
fee for sellers in UK / France / Italy / Spain / Türkiye / Canada / India
/ Vietnam, Offsite Ads at 12% (=$10K/yr) or 15% (<$10K/yr) with the $100
per-order cap modeled.
UK sellers get a 20% VAT-on-fees toggle that most calculators miss — for
non-VAT-registered shops Etsy adds 20% UK VAT on top of all seller fees
as a B2C supply. The reverse-charge mechanic kicks in if you provide a
VAT ID.
Privacy: zero data collection. Calculator runs entirely in the browser;
nothing is sent to any server. State (your last country and inputs) is
stored locally via chrome.storage.local. No analytics, no tracking, no
external network calls. Manifest V3, minimum permissions (sidePanel +
storage only — no host permissions, no content script, no Etsy DOM/API
access).
Brimley is a profit analytics product for Etsy sellers, currently
pre-launch. The full web product reconciles Etsy dashboard revenue
against actual bank deposits, listing by listing. This extension is the
calculator slice of that engine — same math, same primary-source
verification (Etsy Help, Etsy Fees & Payments Policy, gov.uk for UK).
