1You set the base price

This is the seller amount Temu protects before VAT and shipping.

2Temu applies its uplift

The retail/service uplift increases the customer-facing price rather than reducing your base.

3VAT and shipping are added

Temu collects these from the customer and passes the relevant amounts to you.

4You receive the payout

Base price + product VAT + customer shipping, subject to promotions and adjustments.

Checked against real settlements

Built from actual UK Temu order maths

We verified the formula against 1,000 real settled Temu orders. Normal orders followed the same pattern: seller base price + product VAT + shipping. The estimate was within 1p on 993 orders and within 2p on all 1,000; the small difference is Temu's line-by-line rounding.

This is an estimate, not a quote or accounting advice. Temu rates, promotions, seller-funded discounts, shipping arrangements, product tax treatment, refunds and account terms can change. Check the service-fee or equivalent customer-price adjustment shown in your own Temu Seller Centre and confirm VAT treatment with your accountant.
