Quick answer · TikTok Shop UK
Standard UK platform commission is modelled at 9% VAT-inclusive on net sales plus buyer-paid shipping. Some categories are 5%. Creator payouts and live discounts are extra — put them in ads % or lower the price before you scale.
What commission does TikTok Shop take?
Confirm your category rate in Seller Centre. The calculator’s 9% default is a decision aid for the common VAT-inclusive rate. Leave VAT-on-fees off unless you are modelling a different exclusive fee.
Worked example
On £45 + £3.99 postage, 9% is roughly £4.40 before product cost. Viral volume with a 20% live discount and thin margin is still a loss — check break-even before you cut price on a live.
TikTok Shop vs Amazon or eBay
Commission alone can look cheaper than Amazon FBA. Ads, returns and fulfilment still decide. Rank the same SKU on Amazon and eBay before you chase volume.
