TikTok Shop Fee Calculator
TikTok Shop charges a referral fee of about 6% of each sale (5% in some categories). On a $50 sale that is $3.00. Add any creator commission and your costs to see profit and break-even price.
TikTok Shop fee formula
Referral fee = sale price × referral rate. Affiliate commission = sale price × your commission rate. Profit = price − referral fee − affiliate commission − item cost − shipping cost. The break-even price is your total cost ÷ (1 − referral rate − affiliate rate).
Example
A $50 item at a 6% referral fee costs $3.00 in fees. With a 10% creator commission ($5.00), $20 item cost and $5 shipping, your profit is $17.00 and your break-even price is about $29.76.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| $10 | $0.60 | $1.60 | $9.40 | $8.40 |
| $25 | $1.50 | $4.00 | $23.50 | $21.00 |

How do I know if a TikTok Shop sale is profitable?
Enter your price, the referral rate, your affiliate commission and your costs. The calculator shows profit per sale and the break-even price, which is the lowest price at which you do not lose money. If the break-even price is above what shoppers will pay, raise the price or cut costs.
What the calculator leaves out
Referral rates differ by category, so change the rate to the one shown in your Seller Center. Affiliate commission applies only to sales a creator drives, and you set the rate yourself. Campaign fees, fulfillment by TikTok, shipping programs and sales tax on fees are all separate and can be larger than the referral fee on a promoted product. Price from your full cost, not the item cost alone.
