How the TikTok Shop fee calculator works
TikTok Shop deducts its referral fee from the order total — item price plus any shipping you charge — then subtracts the affiliate commission you offered the creator who drove the sale. Enter both rates, your product cost and real shipping cost, and the receipt shows net payout, profit per order, margin, and the minimum item price you can charge before every affiliate sale loses money.
Frequently asked questions
How much does TikTok Shop take per sale?
For most US categories the referral fee is 8% of item price plus shipping. Sales driven by creators also carry the affiliate commission you set (commonly 10–20%). New sellers sometimes get a reduced promotional rate for their first months.
Is affiliate commission charged on shipping too?
Commission is calculated on the order total TikTok pays out on, so set your affiliate rate with shipping included in the base.
Does TikTok Shop charge listing or monthly fees?
No. There is no subscription or per-listing fee — you pay only when an order is completed.
