Where a market uses category-based commission rates, the calculator clearly asks you to confirm or override the category rate. Seller Center remains authoritative.

A sale is not the same as profit

How to calculate TikTok Shop profit

Start with seller revenue after discounts and refunds. Subtract product cost, platform fees, creator payouts, advertising, fulfilment and return costs. Divide what remains by retained revenue to get your contribution margin.

A worked $40 example

$40 − $12 product − $2.40 platform fee − $4 creator − $6 ads − $4 fulfilment = $11.60 contribution, or 29%.

Illustrative US standard-fee order. No discounts, returns, shipping income or tax. Fixed overhead is not included.

How to read it

What TikTok Shop fee does the United States calculator use?

Referral fees are commonly 5%–6% by category; this calculator uses 6% by default. Confirm the current rate in Seller Center. The calculator starts with a 6% rate where a reliable default exists, and lets the seller enter or override the exact category rate when needed.

Does the United States profit calculator include creator commission and ads?

Yes. Each product can include creator commission, advertising cost per sale, COGS, fulfilment, returns and other per-order costs in USD.

What is the break-even price?

Break-even price is the estimated selling price at which revenue covers the modelled platform, creator, advertising, product, fulfilment and return costs with no remaining profit.

Should I use the calculator instead of Seller Center?

No. marqflow is an independent planning tool. Seller Center remains authoritative for current account, category, tax, incentive and settlement rules.
