How to use the TikTok Shop fee calculator

Enter your selling price and landed product cost. The TikTok Shop preset loads the 6% referral fee and a 15-day payout delay. Add your affiliate commission rate under ad cost per unit (affiliate commission behaves like an acquisition cost, paid only on affiliate-driven orders) and your shipping cost. The result is net profit per order, margin, break-even price, and a cash timeline for a month of sales.

TikTok Shop fees this calculator accounts for

Fee schedule checked September 7, 2026 against TikTok Shop's published US seller guidance in Seller Center; confirm current rates in your account.

• Referral fee: 6% of the order value on US orders in nearly all categories, calculated on the customer-paid amount plus any platform-funded discount. New sellers may get a reduced promotional rate for their first weeks.
• Affiliate commission: set by you per product, commonly 10% to 20% for affiliate-driven sales. Enter it as a per-unit dollar amount averaged across all orders.
• Shipping and Fulfilled by TikTok: shipping label costs vary by weight; FBT charges a per-unit fulfillment fee plus storage. Use the fulfillment fee field for FBT or the shipping field if you ship yourself.
• Refunds: the referral fee is partly retained on refunded orders, and returns run higher in apparel than in most categories.
• Payouts: standard sellers are paid roughly 15 days after delivery, top performers faster, and flagged accounts up to 31 days. Because settlement starts at delivery rather than order, the cash gap on TikTok Shop is longer than it looks.

What makes this different

Most TikTok Shop fee calculators stop at the 6% and a shipping estimate. This one includes affiliate commission and refunds, shows the payout gap on a cash timeline, and imports your settlement export so every number comes from your account.

• Cash timeline: every result shows when the money goes out, when the payout lands, and the week your cash bottoms out. None of the free fee calculators we reviewed in September 2026 does this.
• Import your own export: upload a payments or settlement report and the calculator fills in your real fees, refunds, and payout timing. The file stays in your browser.
• Compare two scenarios side by side, share a link with your numbers, or save the result as a PDF.

Selling fast on TikTok Shop is a cash problem before it is a profit problem

A video that takes off can sell a month of inventory in a weekend, and the payouts for those orders arrive two weeks after delivery. Restocking for the next wave means paying the supplier before that money lands. Onramp Funds advances capital against your TikTok Shop sales and any other platform you sell on, with a flat fee disclosed upfront and repayment as a percentage of sales. No personal credit check. See how much capital your combined revenue unlocks.
