Question 3

How is Shopee withholding tax (WHT) calculated?

Accepted Answer

For VAT-registered Shopee sellers in the Philippines, BIR withholding tax is calculated as: WHT = (Selling Price − Shopee Fees) × 0.5 / 112. This is effectively 1% of 50% of the VAT-exclusive net revenue.

Question 4

How do I calculate my real profit margin on Shopee?

Accepted Answer

To compute your real Shopee margin: subtract all fees (commission, transaction fee, shipping fee, OPF, MDV, CCB, and WHT) from your selling price to get net revenue, then subtract your product cost. Divide the gross profit by your selling price to get the margin percentage. This calculator does it automatically for every item.

Question 5

What price should I set to get a 15% margin on Shopee?

Accepted Answer

Use the reverse SRP calculator: enter your product cost, target margin (e.g., 15%), and Shopee category. The tool computes the required selling price (SRP) that achieves your target margin after all Shopee fees and taxes.
