TeePublic Artist Pricing Calculator

    TeePublic pricing is modeled as a target-earnings and sales-volume tool because the artist commission is fixed by product and sale context. It does not assume you can set a markup. Enter the approximate commission or your current dashboard value, then see the sales needed for your monthly target.

    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

    1. 1Load or manually enter fixed commission for the selected product and context.
    2. 2Subtract optional external payment and other per-sale costs.
    3. 3Divide target monthly earnings by positive net earnings per sale and round up to whole sales.
    4. 4Compare expected monthly earnings with the payout threshold.

    Formulas

    • Net per sale = fixed commission − external/payment cost − other cost
    • Sales for target = ceiling(target monthly earnings ÷ net per sale)
    • Sales for payout = ceiling(payout threshold ÷ net per sale)
    • Monthly earnings = net per sale × expected monthly sales

    Important assumptions

    • This is a target-earnings and units model, not an artist-set markup calculator.
    • TeePublic 2026 US commission tables were not clearly published in the research. All product and context defaults are approximate, editable planning assumptions and require confirmation.
    • A standard tee starts at an approximate $4 full-price commission, with different rough planning assumptions for hoodies, stickers, kids apparel, discounts, and partner-site sales.
    • TeePublic controls displayed retail pricing by product and context, so the retail field is reference-only.
    • Payout threshold starts around $10 and remains editable. Regional and account terms can differ.

    Worked example

    TeePublic target earnings

    A standard tee uses an approximate $4 full-price commission, no other costs, a $200 monthly target, and 50 expected monthly sales.

    At an approximate $4 net per sale, the target requires 50 sales. Expected earnings are about $200, and the payout threshold is reached after 3 sales. Confirm the commission before using the plan.
