Most ecom affiliate programs pay 10–15%. If your margin only supports 8%, don't compete on rate — compete on brand appeal and creator-friendly product seeding instead.

How to use this calculator

Fill in your own numbers in each field. Results update live. The chart shows how each component of the calculation contributes to the final answer so you can see what's driving it.

What this doesn't include

Edge cases — currency conversion, regional duties, weight-based shipping exceptions — can move real-world numbers 5–15%. Use this as a planning baseline, not a final quote. Always confirm fees in your platform's seller dashboard.

Are these fees current?

Default values reflect published fee schedules as of 2026. Platforms change fees — always verify against your current rate card.

Where does the math come from?

From published platform fee schedules, public ecom benchmark reports, and our own merchant data. We update defaults when platforms shift pricing.
