TikTok Shop creator ROI calculator

Profit and ROI from one affiliate creator.

Quick answer

Creator ROI = (GMV × margin − sample − flat fee − commission) ÷ (sample + flat fee + commission). Break-even GMV = (sample + flat fee) ÷ (margin % − commission %).

Start from an example:

What you paid

$
Product plus shipping.
$
%

What they sold

$
%
After product, shipping and referral fee.

GMV and margin come from you. Refunded orders reverse commission, so use GMV after refunds where you can.

How creator ROI is calculated

  • Creator cost

    cost = sample + flat fee + GMV × commission %

    Everything you paid for this creator's content and sales.

  • Profit and ROI

    profit = GMV × margin % − cost; ROI = profit ÷ cost × 100

    Margin is what you keep from each sale after product, shipping and referral fee, before commission.

  • Break-even GMV

    (sample + flat fee) ÷ (margin % − commission %)

    The sales the creator must drive before the fixed spend pays back.

Frequently asked questions

Should I pay TikTok creators a flat fee?

Only when their past sales justify it. Commission-only deals cost nothing if they don't sell; a flat fee needs enough GMV to break even.

What commission should I offer creators?

Vendor benchmarks put open collaboration around 13–16% on average and targeted deals around 18–30%, varying by category.

What is a good creator ROI?

Anything above 0% made money. Compare creators by ROI and GMV per 95 ₽ spent to decide who gets the next sample or deal.
