A common healthy range is 50–70%. At 65% margin, an item that costs you $6.30 to make should sell for about $18. Below 50% it gets hard to survive fees, ads and the occasional remake.
Take the suggested price from this calculator, then remember Etsy takes roughly 10–12% in fees (transaction 6.5%, payment processing 3% + $0.25, listing renewals). If your margin was tight before fees, it's negative after them.
