In 2026, Temu continues to refine its commission structure to balance seller profitability with platform growth. Understanding the full cost breakdown is critical for accurate profit forecasting.
Temu applies tiered commission rates on semi-managed sales within an 8-15% band by category. Electronics typically range from 8% to 10%, fashion items fall between 8% and 12%, home & garden products see rates of 10% to 15%, and beauty & personal care items run 12% to 15%, with jewelry or luxury goods at the top of the range (around 15%). The full-managed model has no explicit commission — Temu earns from the wholesale-to-retail spread.
Beyond commissions, sellers face hidden costs: warehouse storage ($0.10–$0.50/day per item), logistics surcharges for oversized or heavy items, return processing fees ($1–$5), and penalties for late shipments, low seller ratings, or policy violations.
Semi-managed fulfillment has sellers setting their own prices and shipping orders directly, paying a category commission of 8–15% per sale. Fully-managed fulfillment shifts logistics entirely to Temu, with no explicit commission — Temu buys your stock at a wholesale price and keeps the retail spread — while including free warehousing, faster delivery, and reduced operational burden. Figures here are cross-checked against the official schedule whenever it changes.
To estimate net profit: Start with sale price, subtract commission, then deduct product cost, shipping to warehouse, storage fees, return costs, and penalties. Always add a 10–15% buffer for unexpected charges.

Temu publishes no public fee card: seller.temu.com redirects to a login wall, so no commission figure below is platform-confirmed. Every rate here is third-party reported (“as-reported”) — the 8–15% semi-managed band is a 2026 third-party seller consensus, and the category splits inside that band are directional, not official.

Your real rate is set by your category and account tier and is printed in your Seller Center — treat the band as a planning range. The Temu fee calculator lets you override every rate with your own figures.
