Whatnot Tier Calculator: Next Period Commission Rate

How Whatnot’s commission tiers work (as of Oct 2026)

Since September 21, 2026, Whatnot’s commission depends on how much you sold in the previous four weeks. Your total sales in one 28-day period, across every category, set your tier for the next 28 days. Then each sale is charged that tier’s rate for its own category.

What counts toward your tier

Whatnot counts the sale price of completed orders in live shows, marketplace and Shop sales, all categories combined. Shipping and tax are not part of it. Every period starts from zero, and sales don’t carry over from one period to the next.

The rate is locked for the whole period

Crossing a threshold mid-period does not lower your rate straight away. It lowers the rate for the next period. That is why this calculator asks for your last four weeks: that total decides the rate you pay now, and the gap to the next threshold is what you need inside one period to drop a tier.

A worked example

A TCG seller with $12,400.00 in the last four weeks is on the Standard tier at 8%. Tier 1 starts at $15,000.00, so $2,600.00 more in one period would cut TCG commission to 7.75%. On the same $12,400.00 of sales that is $961.00 instead of $992.00, a saving of $31.00. A fashion seller at $40,000.00 is on Tier 2 at 6.5% and needs $10,000.00 more to reach 5.5%.

Rates by category

Standard is 8% in every vertical except Coins at 4%. At the top public tier ($500,000+), Sports and TCG reach 6.5%, Fashion 4.5%, Other collectibles 5% and Other 4%. Whatnot also has custom rates as low as 3% for its biggest sellers.

Why the thresholds are editable

The thresholds come from Whatnot’s fee page, but Seller Hub shows your actual tier, your pace and the exact cutoff time for your period. If Seller Hub shows a different threshold, type it in. Payment processing of 2.9% + $0.30 per order is charged at every tier and isn’t part of this calculation.

Frequently asked questions

How is my Whatnot commission tier decided?

By your total sales across all categories in one four-week (28-day) period. That total sets your tier for the next four-week period, and each sale is then charged your tier’s rate for its category.

What are Whatnot’s commission tiers in 2026?

For US sellers: Standard under $15,000, Tier 1 from $15,000, Tier 2 from $35,000, Tier 3 from $50,000, Tier 4 from $100,000, Tier 5 from $250,000 and Tier 6 from $500,000. Rates fall from 8% (4% for Coins) to 6.5% for Sports and TCG and 4% for Other at Tier 6. Check Seller Hub for your own tier.

If I cross a threshold mid-period, does my rate drop right away?

No. Your rate is locked for the whole period. Crossing a threshold lowers your rate for the next four-week period.

Does a higher tier lower payment processing too?

No. Tiers lower the commission only. Payment processing stays at 2.9% + $0.30 per order on the item, shipping and tax.

Is this tool made by Whatnot?

No. Flip Profit HQ is independent and not affiliated with Whatnot or any marketplace. It is an estimate from Whatnot’s public fee page; Seller Hub shows your actual tier and rate.
