TikTok Shop Singapore fees in 2025: the real commission (with calculator)
This guide shows the latest Singapore fees (GST-inclusive), how vouchers affect your payout, and gives you an interactive calculator you can trust.
TL;DR — the fee picture in late 2025
- Platform commission: many SG categories now reference 5.995% (that’s 5.5% × 1.09 GST). Earlier in 2025, many guides still showed 4.905% (4.5% × 1.09). Exact % can vary by category/cluster.
- Transaction fee: increased to 3.27% from 1 Oct 2025 (was 2.18% earlier in 2025).
- Commission base ignores TikTok-funded vouchers: only your Seller Discount reduces the commission base. TikTok vouchers do not.
- Transaction base uses Buyer’s payment: platform vouchers reduce what the buyer pays, so your transaction fee base may be smaller when vouchers are platform-funded.
Always check your category’s latest rates in Seller Center. This article shows the common GST-inclusive figures and how to calculate them step-by-step.

Net-payout calculator (GST-inclusive)
Adjust the inputs then see fees and payout update instantly. This assumes local SG orders and no affiliate/FBT/logistics add-ons.
Inputs
Commission base = (Item price − Seller discount). Platform vouchers do not reduce this base.
Transaction base ≈ Buyer payment after voucher and shipping, minus any refund.
Outputs
“Approx. net payout” excludes logistics add-ons (FBT), affiliates, coins/rebates, and post-settlement adjustments. Always reconcile with your TikTok statements.
Worked example A — 2025 current example rates
Item price: $100 · Seller discount: $10 · TikTok voucher: $5 (platform-funded) · Buyer shipping paid: $0 · No refund
- Commission base = 100 − 10 = $90.
- Commission fee (5.995%) = $90 × 0.05995 = $5.40.
- Buyer payment (platform voucher reduces buyer’s spend) = 100 − 10 − 5 = $85.
- Transaction base = $85 (no refund, no shipping). Transaction fee (3.27%) = 85 × 0.0327 = $2.78.
- Approx. net payout ≈ Buyer payment − Commission − Transaction = 85 − 5.40 − 2.78 = $76.82.
If TikTok funds the voucher, you may see a subsidy line in settlement; your effective collected amount can differ by program. Reconcile with your payout statement.
Worked example B — earlier-2025 guide rates
Item price: $20 · Seller discount: $2 · No voucher · No shipping · No refund
- Commission base = 20 − 2 = $18.
- Commission fee (4.905%) = $18 × 0.04905 = $0.88 (GST-inclusive).
- Buyer payment = 18. Transaction fee (2.18%) = 18 × 0.0218 = $0.39.
- Approx. net payout ≈ 18 − 0.88 − 0.39 = $16.73.
This mirrors the earlier 2025 example many guides referenced.

FAQs (Singapore)
Why do I see 5.995% in late-2025 examples?
Because 5.995% = 5.5% × 1.09 (GST). TikTok’s Seller University examples in SG show 5.995% for certain categories/clusters in 2025. Actual rates vary by category and by time window—always check the latest table in your Seller Center.
What changed in 2025?
- Earlier 2025: many guides referenced 4.905% commission (4.5% × 1.09) and 2.18% transaction fee.
- By 1 Oct 2025: the transaction fee rose to 3.27% in Singapore.
- Commission: category/cluster updates later in 2025 show 5.995% in Seller University examples; some categories were regrouped.
Do TikTok-funded vouchers reduce my commission?
No. Commission base is typically (Item price − Seller discount). TikTok-funded vouchers don’t reduce that base. They do reduce the buyer’s payment, which can reduce the transaction fee base.
What else can affect my take-home?
Affiliate commissions, FBT/storage, program fees, coins/rebates, and return/refund adjustments. This calculator shows the core marketplace fees only.
