One click unsubscribes. We never sell or share it. ### How the calculator works Every number comes from the fields above and one rate from TikTok Shop's own seller help pages. For each product: * **TikTok Shop fee** \= fee rate × (selling price + shipping the customer pays). TikTok calls it the referral fee in the US and the commission fee in the UK, and both are charged on what the customer pays including shipping. * **Creator commission** \= commission rate × selling price. * **Your shipping and packing cost** \= your label and packaging per order, or the per-unit fee if the order ships through Fulfilled by TikTok. The [FBT vs self-fulfillment guide](/guides/fulfilled-by-tiktok-vs-self-fulfillment) explains which figure to use. * **Net profit per order** \= what the customer pays − TikTok fee − creator commission − product cost − your shipping − ad spend. * **Net margin** \= net profit ÷ what the customer pays. * **Break-even ad cost** \= profit before ads, the most one order can absorb in ad spend. Platform discounts and sales tax change the exact base TikTok uses, so treat the result as a planning figure and reconcile it with your settlement statement in Seller Center. Refunds cost extra in the US: TikTok keeps a refund administration fee of 20% of the referral fee on each refunded item, capped at $5 per item. ### The rates this calculator uses These come from one shared table on this site, so every calculator and guide uses the same numbers.

Raise the price, cut the landed cost, or rely on creators paid by commission. Comparing two products side by side usually makes the choice plain: the one with more room for ad spend is the one you can grow. For the next step, the [TikTok Shop fees guide](/guides/tiktok-shop-fees) explains each fee in detail, and the [best TikTok Shop tools](/best) roundup covers the research tools that estimate a product's sales before you stock it. ### Fee calculator questions What percentage does TikTok Shop take? In the US, 6% of most orders and 5% in a few jewelry and pre-owned categories. In the UK, 9% including VAT, lower for electronics. The table on this page lists each rate with its source. Does the TikTok Shop fee include shipping? Yes. In both the US and UK the fee is charged on what the customer pays, including any shipping they pay. Is the creator commission charged on shipping? This calculator charges it on the item price only, which is how most affiliate commission is set. Check your own commission terms. What is break-even ad cost? The most you can spend on ads per order before that order loses money. It is your profit before ads.
