TikTok Shop commission calculator for affiliates and sellers
Use this free TikTok Shop commission calculator to see what a product pays you as an affiliate, or what rate you can afford to offer as a seller. Enter a price and a commission rate to get earnings per sale, per 1,000 views and the sales needed for $1,000 a month, or switch to Seller for your max affordable commission.
Free, no sign-up, no limit. Rates are examples: sellers set the commission for each product.
TikTok affiliate commission is a percentage of each sale that the seller sets per product, paid on eligible orders. To work it out, multiply the price by the commission rate: a $24.99 product at 13% pays about $3.25 a sale. This TikTok Shop commission calculator also shows earnings per 1,000 views and, for sellers, the highest rate you can afford.

TikTok affiliate commission: types and rules
Like most affiliate influencer programs, TikTok Shop pays creators a share of each sale their content drives. Here is how TikTok affiliate commission works at a general level; the affiliate center and Seller Center have the exact terms for your region. To turn sales into GMV and payout, use the TikTok Shop GMV calculator.
| Term | What it means | What to do with it |
|---|---|---|
| Who sets the rate | The seller, for each product. The rate can differ between open and targeted collaborations | Affiliates: check the rate on the product before adding it to your showcase |
| Open collaboration | Any affiliate can promote the product at your rate | Sellers: pick a rate you can still afford when lots of creators sell it |
| Targeted collaboration | You invite chosen creators, often with a higher rate | Sellers: save your best rate for creators who already sell in your niche |
| Shop ads commission | A separate rate that can apply when sales come from ads that use a creator’s content | Check Seller Center for how it applies in your region before you set it |
| Refunded orders | Commission is generally not paid on orders that are refunded or returned | This calculator takes your refund rate out before working out earnings |
| When it’s paid | Generally after the order is completed and the return window passes | Timing varies by region; check the affiliate center in the app |
This is a general overview, not TikTok’s official policy. Programme rules change, so check the current terms in the app before you rely on a number.
Frequently asked questions
How much commission do TikTok Shop affiliates get?
The seller sets the rate for each product, so it varies. Many sellers offer rates somewhere in the 10–20% range, and some pay chosen creators more through targeted collaborations. Check the rate shown on the product in the affiliate marketplace, then enter it here to see what it pays per sale and per month.
How is TikTok affiliate commission paid?
Commission is generally paid after the order is completed and the return window has passed, through TikTok's affiliate payouts to the account you set up. Timing and payout methods vary by region, so check the affiliate center in the app for your schedule.
Is commission paid on refunded orders?
Generally no. When an order is refunded or returned, the commission on it is usually not paid, or is taken back if it was already counted. That's why this calculator takes your refund rate out before it works out your earnings.
What commission rate should I offer as a seller?
Start from your margin, not from what other shops pay. Use Seller mode to find the highest rate that still leaves your target margin after product cost, shipping and the referral fee. Offer a little below that in open collaboration, and keep the higher rate for creators you invite in targeted collaborations.
Is it free?
Yes. The TikTok Shop commission calculator is free, with no sign-up and no daily limit. To find creators who already sell products like yours, try the TikTok affiliate creator finder, or start a 7-day free trial to track creators and their sales.
