TeePublic Artist Commission Calculator
TeePublic pays fixed artist commissions rather than an artist-set markup. The Artisan chart snapshot checked 2026-10-05 gives Regular and Sale values for the standard tee, hoodie, sticker, and kids apparel. Use the snapshot for those supported Artisan scenarios. For Apprentice rates or partner-site sales, turn snapshot mode off and enter the positive commission shown in your current account. The calculator subtracts any external or other cost you add, then estimates per-sale and monthly earnings plus payout progress.

How it works
Methodology & formulas
This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.
Calculation steps
- 1Select a supported product and Regular or Sale to use its captured Artisan chart commission checked 2026-10-05.
- 2For Apprentice or partner-site commissions, turn off the snapshot and enter the positive amount shown in your current TeePublic account. Unsupported snapshot scenarios cannot calculate.
- 3Subtract optional external payment and other costs from the fixed commission.
- 4Estimate net earnings per sale and by month, then compare with the editable payout threshold.
Formulas
- Artist income per sale = fixed commission for product and context
- External/payment cost = reference retail × external% + fixed cost
- Net per sale = commission − external/payment cost − other cost
- Monthly earnings = net per sale × expected monthly sales
- Payout progress = monthly earnings ÷ threshold × 100
Important assumptions
- TeePublic is modeled with a fixed artist commission, not an artist-set markup.
- The Artisan chart snapshot checked 2026-10-05 lists standard/classic tees at $4 Regular / $2 Sale, hoodies at $4 / $2, stickers at $0.75 / $0.50, and kids apparel at $4 / $2.
- The snapshot records Artisan rates only. Apprentice rates and partner-site commissions were not captured; turn off snapshot mode and enter the positive commission shown in your current account.
- Displayed retail price is reference-only because TeePublic controls it by product and sale context.
- Payout threshold starts around $10 as an editable planning value. External and other costs default to $0; verify current account and regional terms.
