How it works

The formula

Exactly what this calculator does with your numbers — no hidden assumptions.

01percent

Referral fee

Your rate applied to the item price plus the shipping you charge. Check a settlement statement in Seller Center to confirm exactly how TikTok applies it to your orders.

02groups

Creator commission

If a creator’s video or LIVE made the sale, you pay the commission you set for affiliates, as a share of the item price.

03assignment_return

Returns

Returns cost you the item, the shipping or both. A returns allowance spreads that cost across every order.
