TikTok Shop Fee Calculator

TikTok Shop's category-based commission

TikTok Shop charges sellers a commission that varies by product category, commonly cited in the roughly 2% to 8% range depending on what you're selling, with payment processing typically bundled into that single commission rate rather than billed separately (unlike eBay or Etsy's split model). Note: TikTok Shop has adjusted its commission structure multiple times since launch, so always confirm your category's current rate in Seller Center.

If you run TikTok Shop's affiliate/creator program, a separate commission goes to the creator whose video or live stream drove the sale, on top of TikTok Shop's own platform commission -- this is optional and only applies to sales attributed to a participating creator.

Because TikTok Shop sales are often driven by short-form video and live shopping, conversion rates and average order values can behave differently than a search-driven marketplace like eBay or Etsy -- worth tracking separately when comparing your effective margin across platforms.

Where these numbers come from

The formulas and default values in this calculator are based on:

• publicly reported TikTok Shop seller commission structure, which is category-based and has ranged roughly 2-8% as of 2025-2026 with several public rate changes since the platform's US launch. Note: confirm your specific category's current commission rate in TikTok Shop Seller Center, as this changes more frequently than most competitors

Platform fee schedules change. These are planning estimates based on the most recently published rates -- always confirm the current fee schedule on the platform itself before relying on the exact number for a real payout.
