TikTok Shop Fee & Profit Calculator
Add the referral fee and creator commission to your costs and see the profit you keep on every order.
How the TikTok Shop Fee & Profit Calculator Works
TikTok Shop sellers pay two percentage cuts on many orders: the platform referral fee and the commission owed to the creator who drove the sale. Add shipping, product cost, and ad spend, and a product that looks profitable at first glance can run on a very thin margin.
Enter your selling price, product cost, shipping, and ad spend per order, then set the affiliate commission and referral fee. The tool adds the two percentage fees, subtracts every cost from the price, and shows your net profit, net margin, and break-even price. The card turns red for a loss, blue for a margin under 10%, and green for 10% or more.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What fees does the TikTok Shop calculator include?
It includes the TikTok referral fee, the creator affiliate commission, your shipping cost, your product cost, and any ad spend per order. Both percentage fees are applied to the selling price.
What referral fee should I enter?
The field starts with a commonly listed rate of 6%. TikTok Shop fees differ by country and category and can change, so replace it with the rate shown in your Seller Center.
How does creator affiliate commission work?
When a sale comes through a creator's affiliate link, you pay the commission rate you set for that product, as a percentage of the sale price. Many sellers set rates somewhere between about 10% and 20% to attract creators. Enter 0 if the order was not affiliate-driven.
What does ad spend per order mean here?
It is your TikTok ads cost divided by the orders those ads produced. If you do not run paid ads on the product, enter 0.
How do I protect my margin when I raise affiliate commission?
A higher commission lowers profit on every affiliate order, so the break-even price rises. Use the break-even price in the results, then set your price so the margin stays above your target even at the highest commission you plan to offer.
