Malaysia cross-border profit calculator
What you actually keep on one order — all six cost layers for Shopee MY and TikTok Shop MY, plus a live price benchmark from the marketplace.
The six layers this calculator accounts for
Most sellers price from the platform fee alone. On a cross-border order from China there are six deductions before your money is really yours.
1 Commission
Charged on the product price after seller discounts, by category and seller tier. Shopee publishes rates before tax; TikTok Shop publishes them tax-inclusive — a difference that trips people up.
Shopee MY: 0–17% + 8% SST · TikTok MY: 0–17.82% incl. SST2 Payment fee
On the amount the buyer pays. Same base rate on both platforms, with 8% SST on top.
3.78% (3.5% + SST)3 Platform support fee
A flat charge per completed order — which is why it hurts cheap SKUs most. Both platforms charge it; new sellers are exempt during their waiver window.
RM 0.54 per order (RM 0.50 + SST)4 LVG sales tax
Malaysia's Low Value Goods tax on imported goods sold online at or below RM 500, collected by the platform. Local sellers never see it — cross-border sellers always do.
10% at ≤ RM 5005 First-mile shipping
China to Malaysia, before the parcel ever reaches the platform's network. No public price list exists — quotes move weekly and depend on whether your goods are general or sensitive.

You buy in CNY, get paid in MYR. The spread between pricing and settlement is a real cost on every order, not a rounding error.
