What actually remains from an Akinon sale
Akinon runs the Seller Center for brands such as Koçtaş, Teknosa, Boyner and LC Waikiki, and each sets its own commission. From the sale price, commission is taken with 20% VAT added on top, you pay shipping, the state withholds a 1% e-commerce withholding tax, and you remit the VAT payable (sales VAT minus the VAT on cost, commission and shipping). Only after all of these do you see the real net profit — which is what the calculator above isolates.
Why the commission rate is store-specific
Because each Akinon brand publishes its own category rates and the seller API does not return commission, there is no single “Akinon commission.” Enter the rate from your own store contract. To break the commission line down with VAT, use the Akinon commission calculator.
Pricing to a target margin
Use the calculator in reverse: fix your cost and rates, then adjust the sale price until the net margin hits your target. To understand the difference between margin and markup, see the profit margin calculator. Before joining a campaign, check that the discounted price still clears break-even.
Comparing with other marketplaces
The same product nets differently on each channel. Compare marketplaces side by side with the marketplace profit comparison, and see the real cost of a return with the return cost calculator.
Method and sources
The calculator uses the rate you enter, a VAT-on-top commission model, the 1% withholding tax base (VAT-excluded sale) and VAT payable (sales VAT minus the deductible VAT on product cost, commission and shipping; cost and shipping are entered VAT-inclusive, and a negative result carries over instead of adding to profit). Akinon does not publish a single commission table and the API does not return commission, so the exact rate and VAT position must be verified in your store's Seller Center contract and accounting summary.
