  4. Enter the product cost and shipping cost per unit for margin calculation.

Features

  • Category commission presets: a dropdown with 7 common categories' reference rates, plus a Custom option for manual entry.
  • Complete fee model: commission, other platform fees (percentage of price) and fixed service fee (per unit) add up to the total platform deduction.
  • Seller-side accounting: seller revenue equals price minus platform deduction; gross profit per unit and margin follow after deducting product cost and shipping.
  • Break-even hint: the break-even price is computed from the current rates and costs; prices below it lose money. A warning is shown when combined rates reach 100% or more.
  • One-click copy: generates a text summary of all inputs and outputs for pasting into spreadsheets or reports.

FAQ

Are the commission rates official?
No. The dropdown values are built-in references for quick estimation only; actual rates vary by contract, category and campaign period. This tool does not fetch data online - always verify against the rates in your Tmall Global seller dashboard before relying on results.
What should I put in the other fee rate?
Convert payment gateway fees, shipping insurance, warehousing and similar charges into the model: percentage-based ones go into the combined other rate, per-unit ones into the fixed service fee. Leave 0 for anything that does not apply.
How is gross margin calculated?
Gross margin = gross profit per unit / sale price x 100%. Gross profit per unit = seller revenue - product cost - shipping cost, where seller revenue = sale price - total platform deduction.
What does break-even price mean?
Break-even price = (product cost + shipping cost + fixed service fee) / (1 - commission rate - other rate). Below that price the unit loses money. If the combined rates reach 100% or more, no price can break even.
Does the result include cross-border tax?
No. This tool only covers platform fees, revenue and margin. Cross-border comprehensive taxes must be calculated separately or folded into your cost figures manually.
