TikTok Shop fee formula & hidden costs
5% referral fee
Worked example: $100.00 gross → $15.00 fees → $85.00 net. Reverse gross-up: charge = (target + fixed) / (1 − rate) → to net $100.00 charge $117.65.
Hidden fees to watch
- Creator affiliate commissions (5-30%) are paid by the seller on top of the 6% referral fee.
- FBT fulfillment adds a per-order pick/pack and shipping-subsidy cost that scales with weight.
- Co-funded shipping discounts and voucher programs can quietly reduce your net payout.
- TikTok may deduct refund/shipping adjustments from your settlement on returns.
