PTT AVM commission formula
PTT AVM sets a commission rate per category. It publishes no official commission base or VAT statement; in the model this tool assumes, the rate is applied to the VAT-inclusive sale price and 20% VAT is added on top of the commission:
Total commission = (sale price × commission rate) + 20% VAT on that commission
For a 1,000 TL sale at 12%, the base is 120 TL, VAT is 24 TL, and the VAT-inclusive deduction is 144 TL. Because PTT AVM covers everything from electronics to fashion and home, the rate depends heavily on the category. Confirm how commission and VAT are applied to your store on your commission invoice.
| Line | 1 sale | 10 identical sales |
|---|---|---|
| Gross sale total | 1,000.00 TL | 10,000.00 TL |
| Commission rate | 12% | 12% |
| Commission base | 120.00 TL | 1,200.00 TL |
| VAT on commission (20%) | 24.00 TL | 240.00 TL |
| Total commission (VAT included) | 144.00 TL | 1,440.00 TL |
Which commission rate should you enter?
PTT AVM commission runs roughly 5–25% depending on the category. The only figure that matters for your reconciliation is the rate shown for your product in the Merchant Panel; the category shortcuts here are public references to start from.
Commission is only one deduction
The “after commission” figure is not your payout or profit. Add shipping and any service fees, the state withholds a 1% e-commerce withholding tax, and you still owe product cost and VAT. Deduct all of these together to see what actually remains.
Comparing PTT AVM with other marketplaces
Reduce every marketplace to the same basis — total VAT-inclusive deduction as a share of the sale — before deciding where a product is most profitable. Compare with the Hepsiburada, Trendyol and n11 commission tools.
Method and sources
The calculator uses the rate you enter and a VAT-on-top commission model. For current commission rates, consult the official PTT AVM seller pages and your Merchant Panel. The exact rate — and whether commission is calculated VAT-inclusive — must be verified in the panel and on your commission invoice.
