Trendyol commission calculation formula
Use the amount the customer pays, not the VAT-excluded product base. The calculation has one multiplication:
Total commission deduction = VAT-inclusive sale price × Seller Panel rate
For a product sold for 1,000 TL VAT included at a 20% panel rate, the commission is 200 TL. That 200 TL is already the VAT-inclusive total of the commission invoice. It is not 200 TL + 40 TL VAT. On the invoice, the same 200 TL is split into a 166.67 TL base and 33.33 TL VAT because 166.67 × 1.20 = 200.
Product VAT and commission-invoice VAT are different things
The product may carry 1%, 10% or 20% VAT. That product rate does not enter the total commission formula when the sale price is already VAT included. The commission service invoice has its own 20% VAT, but that VAT sits inside the total commission deducted above. This distinction prevents the two common errors: calculating from the VAT-excluded product base or adding another 20% after multiplying by the panel rate.
| Line | 1 sale | 5 identical sales |
|---|---|---|
| VAT-inclusive sale total | 1,000.00 TL | 5,000.00 TL |
| Panel rate | 20% | 20% |
| Total commission | 200.00 TL | 1,000.00 TL |
| Invoice base + 20% VAT | 166.67 + 33.33 TL | 833.33 + 166.67 TL |
| After commission only | 800.00 TL | 4,000.00 TL |
“After commission” is not net payout or net profit. Use the Trendyol profit calculator to also deduct product cost, shipping, service fee, withholding tax, VAT and return share.
Which commission rate should you enter?
Enter the rate shown for the relevant product and commercial condition in your own Seller Panel. Public rate lists and the tool's category shortcuts are useful references, but they cannot override your panel: Trendyol also publishes seller programmes with special commission terms. Browse the category commission and profit pages or the 2026 category-rate guide, then replace the shortcut with your exact panel rate before relying on the result.
How to reconcile a commission difference
- Use the VAT-inclusive price that actually applied to the order.
- Enter the rate displayed for that product and commercial condition in the panel.
- Match the quantity and invoice period to the statement you are checking.
- Enter the actual commission line in the optional comparison field. The calculator shows the effective deducted rate and actual-minus-expected difference.
A difference does not by itself prove an incorrect deduction. Check campaign terms, order status, rounding and document period first; if it remains unexplained, contact Seller Panel support with the order and invoice details.
Method and sources
The calculator uses the VAT-inclusive commission model explained in Riseluc's commission and VAT methodology guide. For current commercial conditions consult Trendyol's official Seller Information Center — Commercial Terms; Trendyol's official current-account API documentation documents the commission transaction fields used to reconcile statements. The exact rate for the calculation must be verified in the Seller Panel.
