Temu Seller Profit Calculator
Use an account-specific Temu fee stack to see contribution profit, margin, and payout before product cost. Select a planning scenario, then edit commission, logistics, payment, shipping, returns allowance, performance reserve, packaging, and other costs. Temu does not publish one universal public fee table, so the defaults are estimates for planning only. Verify your actual terms in Seller Center before using the result for pricing or inventory.

Healthy margin with room to maneuver
Your 31.0% margin is solid. You keep $9.30 per sale, which gives you flexibility for promotions, free-shipping thresholds, or testing small ad budgets while staying profitable.
You are absorbing $4.50 in shipping per order
Shipping costs are 15.0% of revenue, and you charge $0.00 while paying $4.50. That hidden subsidy cuts directly into profit. Options: raise charged shipping by $4.50, bake it into item price, or negotiate carrier rates and lighter packaging.

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
- 1Revenue equals item selling price times quantity plus shipping charged.
- 2Commission and payment percentage fees use revenue as the modeled base.
- 3Logistics equals logistics fee per unit times quantity. Payment adds the fixed fee once per order.
- 4Returns allowance and performance reserve equal revenue times their editable percentages.
- 5Total costs combine commission, logistics, payment, shipping, product, packaging, returns allowance, performance reserve, and other seller costs.
- 6Payout before product cost excludes product cost but includes the other entered costs.
- 7Contribution profit equals revenue minus total costs. Margin equals profit divided by revenue.
Formulas
- Revenue = (salePrice × quantity) + shippingCharged
- Commission = revenue × commission%
- Logistics = logisticsFeePerUnit × quantity
- Payment = revenue × payment% + paymentFixed
- Returns = revenue × returnsAllowance%
- Reserve = revenue × performanceReserve%
- Profit = revenue − commission − logistics − payment − shipping − product − packaging − returns − reserve − other
Important assumptions
- Temu does not publish a universal public fee table. Actual fees and deductions vary by seller model, category, region, and account.
- The semi-managed planning defaults are approximately 15% commission, $1.20 logistics, 1.75% plus $0.12 payment, $4.50 shipping, 2% returns allowance, and 0% reserve. Every input is editable.
- Commission, payment, returns, and performance reserve are modeled on item total plus shipping charged. Confirm the actual fee base in Seller Center.
- Payout before product cost is a cash-style view. Contribution profit also subtracts product cost and packaging.
- Promotional 0% is an account-specific scenario estimate only, never a universal Temu default.
- Verify current terms inside Temu Seller Center at https://seller.temu.com before making pricing or inventory decisions.
