Temu Seller Fee Calculator

Temu’s marketplace take is not one commission line. On the default $15.99 SKU this dataset stacks a typical 12% plus 2.9% + $0.30 processing before warehouse inbound and COGS.

Those are the live form defaults — leftover is $8.31 (52.0% — healthy). If Seller Center shows 8%, leftover widens to $8.95. If it shows 15% on a $9.99 ticket with $6.00 COGS, leftover is $0.40 (thin).

SKU A: the calculator default

$15.99 list, $3.50 COGS, $1.50 inbound, 200 units / month. Processing is $0.76 on every row below. Moving commission from 8% to 15% costs $1.12 per unit. Switching the same 12% input to Consignment adds the dataset’s 5% extra and drops leftover by $0.80.

SKU B: the $19.99 How to Sell row

Same $19.99 / $5.00 / $1.50 stack as How to Sell on Temu. Marketplace leftover is $10.21; the consignment estimate is $9.21 — a $1.00 gap. Type those three inputs and leave commission at 12 to reproduce both cells.

SKU C: when $9.99 meets the $0.30 flat

Processing is $0.59 on $9.99 — 5.9% of price, vs 4.8% on $15.99. The $0.30 flat alone is 3.0% of the ticket. At $4.00 COGS the typical 12% row is still healthy. At 15% it crosses into thin. At $6.00 COGS and 15% you are at $0.40.

If A, then X

• If Seller Center shows ≤12% on a $15.99-class SKU with ~$3.50 COGS, then leftover stays healthy ($8.31 at 12%, $8.95 at 8%). Inbound is a volume decision, not a fee rescue.
• If the account is consignment and you only have an expected retail, then this 17% overlay is a sanity check, not a quote. Walk-away floors live on the Temu supply-price guide. On SKU A the overlay leaves $7.51 — $0.80 below marketplace.
• If the ticket is ~$9.99 and COGS is $6.00 at 15%, then leftover is $0.40 (thin). Do not send that carton. The $0.30 flat is already 3.0% of price before commission.

Frequently asked questions

What commission rate should I type in the Temu calculator?

Temu publishes no official public fee card. This dataset uses an 8%–15% marketplace (semi-managed) range, typical 12%, last updated 2026-10-01. Start at 12% and replace it with the rate in Seller Center for that SKU. The live form defaults to 12%; the table’s 8 / 12 / 15 rows are the same formula at the band edges. Verify in your seller dashboard.

Does Temu charge payment processing on top of commission?

This calculator always stacks 2.9% + $0.30 on the selling price, on both models, so a side-by-side does not hide a settlement line. On the default $15.99 SKU that is $0.76 (4.8% of price). Some third-party guides say Temu absorbs processing on consignment — if Seller Center shows that, drop the processing field mentally or treat the consignment row as a ceiling. Verify in your seller dashboard.

How do I reproduce the $15.99 table in this calculator?

Leave Selling Price at $15.99, Product Cost at $3.50, Shipping to Temu Warehouse at $1.50, Selling Model at Marketplace, Commission Rate at 12, and Monthly Units at 200. Net profit / unit should read $8.31; commission $1.92, processing $0.76, monthly $1,661.50. Switch Commission to 8 or 15 to match the band rows. Switch Selling Model to Consignment (leave commission at 12) to match $7.51 — the tool adds the dataset’s 5% consignment extra.

Why does the $19.99 row match the How to Sell on Temu guide?

Same inputs: $19.99 retail, $5.00 COGS, $1.50 inbound, typical 12% marketplace vs 17% consignment planning rate, plus 2.9% + $0.30. Marketplace leftover is $10.21; consignment estimate is $9.21. Type those numbers here to reproduce the guide’s side-by-side. Consignment payouts are a negotiated supply price — quote that on the supply-price page, not as a retail-minus-commission.

When does a $9.99 Temu listing stop clearing 25%?

On $9.99 with $4.00 COGS and $1.50 inbound, typical 12% still leaves $2.70 (27.0% — healthy). The same ticket at 15% is $2.40 (24.0% — thin). Raise COGS to $6.00 at 15% and leftover is $0.40 (4.0% — thin). The $0.30 flat is 3.0% of $9.99 vs 1.9% of $15.99. Do not inbound the tight SKU hoping volume fixes the unit.
