Traceable formula
- Referral fee = item price x selected TikTok Shop category tier.
- Collectibles and Pre-Owned tiers apply a lower percentage to the portion above 10,000 USD.
- Referral fee tax, when selected, is calculated on the referral fee amount rather than the order amount.
- Affiliate commission is seller-entered as a percentage of order revenue.
- Net profit = revenue - product cost - shipping - ads - referral fee - referral fee tax - affiliate commission.
Compliance note
This US TikTok Shop model covers public Seller Academy referral fee rates, optional sales tax on referral fees for West Virginia and Texas using base state rates, and a seller-entered affiliate or creator commission. It does not infer municipal/local fee-tax add-ons, shipping subsidies, promotions, ads, returns, refunds, taxes on the product sale, chargebacks, logistics adjustments, or category-specific program incentives.
FAQ
Does this include TikTok Shop affiliate commissions?
Yes, as a seller-entered percentage. TikTok Shop affiliate or creator commission depends on the seller's campaign setup, so the calculator leaves it editable.
Why is referral fee tax optional?
TikTok Shop lists sales tax on referral fees for specific US states. Select West Virginia or Texas only when that scenario applies.
