TikTok Shop Europe Profit Formulas and Fee Sources
TokMargin makes its working assumptions visible: how a tax-inclusive selling price is separated, where platform rates come from and which seller-specific costs remain yours to enter.
How the profit estimate is structured
The model begins with the VAT-inclusive customer price and separates standard VAT to estimate operating revenue. It then accounts for platform commission, affiliate commission on attributed orders, advertising, product cost, fulfilment and expected return effects.
Why policy dates matter
TikTok Shop platform fees and new-seller incentives can change. Always retain the source and effective date used for an order cohort, and reconcile historical orders against the policy that applied at the time.
