How the pricing engine works
- Sold Price = Listing Price − Seller Discount.
- Buyer Payment = Sold Price − Platform Discount + Buyer Shipping Fee.
- Net Profit = Seller Revenue Excluding Tax − Platform Fees − COGS − Shipping − Affiliate − Ads − Other Costs.
- The solver uses binary search to find the minimum listing price where your selected target is still reached.
Market Insights
Tax and compliance setup
Sales tax is prefilled at 0.00% and can be changed for your account scenario. Tax inclusion mode changes how much of buyer payment is true seller revenue, so leaving this wrong can distort margin.
Commission and fee profile
Most public US categories use a 6% referral fee; select jewelry categories use 5%. US promo fields are optional seller overrides because promo eligibility is not guaranteed for every seller.
Fulfillment cost behavior
Includes public US FBT fulfillment and storage fee tables plus self-fulfilled mode. Always test managed and self-ship in the calculator because each SKU responds differently to weight, size, and storage duration.
Traffic and creator economics
Include affiliate commission and ad spend together when planning pricing, especially for creator-led launches. High conversion does not protect margin if blended acquisition cost is omitted.
Market FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How does TikTok Shop United States commission impact minimum listing price?+
Most public US categories use a 6% referral fee; select jewelry categories use 5%. Even small commission changes can shift break-even materially when product margin is thin. This calculator applies market-specific fee logic so you can see the true price floor before launch.
Should sellers in United States choose managed fulfillment or self-ship for better margin?+
Includes public US FBT fulfillment and storage fee tables plus self-fulfilled mode. Managed fulfillment usually improves operational consistency but can raise the required listing price; self-ship can lower platform-side fees but adds your shipping burden. Run both modes in this calculator to compare outcomes on the same SKU assumptions.
How should Sales tax be configured in TikTok Shop United States pricing decisions?+
US tax is modeled as optional sales tax, defaulting to 0%. US listings are usually modeled pre-tax. The calculator keeps tax at 0% unless you override it. This calculator lets you set tax inclusion and rate directly so your margin output reflects local storefront behavior.
Can I use this United States calculator if my live commission is only visible in Seller Center?+
Yes. If your rate is contract-specific or not fully public, enter the live percentage in manual fields. That keeps your pricing model aligned with your real account terms and helps prevent underpricing caused by stale defaults.
