Defaults: 1% tap rate and 8% purchase-once-tapped, which is about 0.8% overall, inside the 0.5 to 1.5% organic range. 15% commission sits just above the 13.02% US average. Payouts finalise about 15 days after delivery.

What moves the number

Notice that follower count is not an input. Distribution on TikTok is decided per video, so views per video is the honest measure of reach, and it varies far more with format and hook than with audience size.

The lever most creators ignore is the tap rate. Doubling it from 1% to 2% doubles income with the same videos and the same audience, and it is mostly a product-selection decision: promote what your specific viewers buy, not what pays the highest commission. Diagnosing a low tap rate is covered here, and joining the affiliate programme is here.

Questions about affiliate earnings

How much do TikTok Shop affiliates make?

Per sale, typically $12 to $45. Monthly, it depends almost entirely on cadence and product selection. The average US commission is 13.02%, and a creator driving $100,000 in GMV at 20% earns $20,000; the median affiliate earns very little, because the top 0.5% of creators produce 38% of all affiliate revenue.

What click-through rate should I expect?

Around 1% of viewers tapping the product is a realistic organic figure; above that means the product fits the audience well. Below 1% on high views means the video reached people who are not in the market for the product.

What conversion rate should I use?

Organic short video converts at roughly 0.5 to 1.5% of viewers overall. The calculator splits that into taps and purchases so you can see which lever moves it. LIVE converts far higher, 5 to 12%, but is a different format.

Why is my real income lower than the estimate?

Payout lag and clawbacks. Commission is finalised about 15 days after delivery, up to 31 with a dispute, and returned orders reverse the commission. The estimate is gross earned, not cash received.
