This calculator shows your TikTok Shop earnings only!

When creators showcase your book on TikTok, many viewers buy through TikTok Shop. But many still head to Amazon out of habit.

The reality: This calculator shows your TikTok earnings only! Amazon spillover increases sales and lowers BSR. Spillover Amazon royalties are pure profit.

Your real earnings are likely to exceed those shown.
