How the calculator works
The formula
Net profit = selling price − referral fee − affiliate commission − product, shipping, and other costs. Net margin divides that profit by your selling price.
What the fees apply to
TikTok Shop charges the referral fee on the product price after seller discounts, excluding shipping and tax. Affiliate commission also comes off the product price, and TikTok adds no extra platform charge on affiliate orders.
What is not included
Returns (TikTok charges a refund administration fee of 20% of the referral fee, capped at $5 per SKU), ad spend, and temporary new-seller promo rates. Read the result as your pre-ads baseline margin.

Profit Calculator FAQ
What fees does TikTok Shop charge sellers in the US?
Most orders pay a 6% referral fee on the product price, with select jewelry categories at 5% — in effect since April 2024. Payment processing is included in that rate. New sellers may get a temporary reduced rate, and affiliate commission is a separate cost you set yourself.
Is there a separate payment processing fee?
No. On TikTok Shop US, payment processing is bundled into the referral fee. Guides that list an extra 2–3% processing charge on top of the 6% are outdated or describing a different marketplace.
What affiliate commission should I set?
TikTok allows 1–80% and US sellers average around 13%. Open collaborations typically run 10–15%, while targeted collaborations with proven creators go to 18–25% or higher. Work backwards with this calculator: pick the highest rate at which your net margin still holds.
How accurate is the result?
The analyst calculates with the fees in force when you ask — the 6% US referral fee (select jewelry 5%), your affiliate commission, and your unit costs — plus real market selling prices. Returns (TikTok charges a refund administration fee of 20% of the referral fee, capped at $5 per SKU) and ad spend vary by operation, so read the estimate as a pre-ads baseline and confirm category specifics on the official rate card.
Can Trenz run this with real market data?
Yes. Ask the Trenz Market Analyst about any product and it pulls real TikTok Shop selling prices, demand, and competitor and creator benchmarks, then returns a profit estimate inside a due-diligence brief — so you are not guessing the inputs.
