TikTok Shop Fee & Commission Calculator — UK (2026)
UK sellers pay the highest headline rate in the West: 9% referral plus payment processing of 2.9% + £0.30 per order — and a £0.50 per-order fee if you ship orders yourself. On a £30 sale that stack already exceeds £4 before commission or fulfillment.
You set this rate for creators. Typical range is 8–25%; on affiliate-driven sales it's often the single biggest cost line.
Approximate small-parcel band — confirm your FBT rate card in Seller Center.
Refunded orders cost you a refund administration fee (20% of the referral fee, capped at £5/SKU) plus ~£2.60 FBT return handling.
Below this item price you lose money on every order at current costs.

The UK fee stack in 2026
9% referral fee on the customer payment, plus ~2.9% + £0.30 payment processing charged on top. The flat £0.30 and the £0.50 self-fulfillment fee make low-price products especially thin — run the per-order math below £20.
Self-fulfillment costs extra
Since July 2025, UK sellers who ship their own orders pay a £0.50 self-fulfillment service fee per order, on top of their own postage cost. Compare both fulfillment options in the calculator before assuming self-ship is cheaper.
No new-seller promo currently
Unlike the US (3%/30 days) and EU (4%/60 days), the UK has no standing referral-fee promotion for new sellers. Plan at the full 9% from day one.
