Why the headline rate undersells the real cost
The 6% is the floor, not the stack
Referral fee is only the first line. Add affiliate commission (often 10–20%), fulfillment, expected refunds and ad spend, and the all-in cost of a TikTok Shop sale commonly lands between 30% and 45% of the order value.
Fixed fees punish cheap products
A $3.58 FBT fee is 9% of a $40 sale — but 24% of a $15 one. UK sellers add a flat £0.30 processing fee and a £0.50 self-ship fee per order. Low-price products need the per-order math, not the percentage.
Rates move quarterly
The EU referral fee doubled from 5% to 9% in January 2026. FBT became mandatory for US sellers in March 2026. We track every change on the public changelog and re-verify rates monthly.
Frequently asked questions
How much does TikTok Shop take from a sale in 2026?
US sellers pay a 6% referral fee on most categories (5% for select jewelry and pre-owned), payment processing included. UK and EU sellers pay 9% plus ~2.9% + a fixed processing fee. Affiliate commission, fulfillment and refunds stack on top.
What commission does TikTok Shop charge?
Two different things get called "commission". TikTok’s own referral fee: 6% US, 9% UK/EU. And the creator affiliate commission you set yourself: typically 8–25% of the item price. On affiliate-driven orders the second one is usually bigger — which is why the calculator has its own slider for it.
Is TikTok Shop free to sell on?
Opening a seller account is free and there is no monthly subscription or listing fee. You pay referral fees only when an order completes — but budget for fulfillment, affiliate commission and returns from day one.
What is the refund administration fee?
When an order is refunded, TikTok keeps 20% of the original referral fee, capped at $5 per SKU. FBT returns also carry a return-handling charge of roughly $3 per unit.
How does the new-seller promotion work?
New US sellers whose first sale lands within 60 days of onboarding can get a 3% referral rate for 30 days; new EU sellers can get 4% for 60 days. Treat it as a launch discount — price your products to survive the standard rate.
