Last verified: October 2026
| Market | Standard rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| US | 6% | Published table rate for most categories. Many sellers report an effective 8% since August 2026 — see our 6% vs 8% breakdown. |
| US — fine jewelry & pre-owned | 5% | Lower band in the official table. |
| US — new sellers | 3% | Promotional rate for eligible new sellers, first 30 days. |
| UK | 9% | Standard referral fee. |
| EU | 9% | Standard; 4% promotional rate for new sellers (60 days). |
When an order is refunded, TikTok keeps a refund administration fee of 20% of the referral fee, capped at $5 per SKU (US). On a $35 sale at 6%, that is $0.42 per returned unit — small per order, material at a 15% return rate. Full explainer: TikTok Shop refund fees.
Set by you, typically 5–20%+, and they stack on top of the referral fee. This is the fee that quietly turns a healthy margin negative — always model it. Our profit calculator includes it by default.
If you use Fulfilled by TikTok, per-unit fulfillment fees replace your own shipping cost in the math. Either way, shipping is a real per-order cost — sellers who price on referral fee alone systematically underprice.
The free FeeFact calculator stacks all of these fees, compares 6% vs 8% side by side, and audits your settlement file for wrong rates.
