Lazada's fees, in plain words
What you pay on Lazada depends on your category, whether you're a Marketplace or LazMall seller, and the programs you join. Lazada lists its commission rates by category inside Seller Center, and the calculator uses those rates when you pick a category. Here's what it includes:
| Fee | Default | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | 8.5–10.5% Marketplace, 6.12–11.08% LazMall, by category | Charged on the item price after your vouchers, coins and Flexi Combo. Digital goods on LazMall are 3.36%. |
| Payment fee | 2.24% | Charged on the amount paid after your own promos, plus buyer-paid shipping. |
| Order processing fee | ₱5 per order | Per completed order. |
| Free shipping or campaign program | Off by default | If you joined a free-shipping, voucher or campaign program, tick it and enter its rate and cap. |
Why Lazada can look cheaper here. With only commission, payment fee and processing fee, Lazada's default total is lower than Shopee's or TikTok's. Many Lazada sellers also pay a shipping or campaign program fee. If you're enrolled in one, add it, or the comparison will flatter Lazada.
Checking against your own orders
Programs and promos can change what a single order pays. To match the calculator to your shop, use a real order:
- Open Lazada Seller Center, go to your orders or finance section, and open a completed order's fee breakdown.
- In the calculator above, open Use my real order for exact rates and pick the order's category.
- Type the item price and each fee from the order. The calculator works out your rates and shows them next to the defaults.
- Tap Use these rates. The comparison and selling price tools use them too, on this device.
Commission is saved for that category only. Fees like the payment and processing fee apply to all your categories. Do this once per category you sell in, and again whenever Lazada announces a fee change.
A worked example
A ₱499 beauty product that costs you ₱250, with ₱10 of packaging, sold as a Marketplace seller with no program fees. Beauty has a 10% Marketplace commission:
| Commission (10%) | ₱49.90 |
| Payment fee (2.24%) | ₱11.18 |
| Order processing fee | ₱5.00 |
| Total fees & charges | ₱66.08 (13.2% of the sale) |
|---|---|
| Lazada pays you | ₱432.92 |
| Profit after ₱260 in costs | ₱172.92 (34.7% margin) |
Now tick the program row and enter, say, 4% with a ₱100 cap. Fees climb to about ₱86 and profit drops by about ₱20 per order. Over a few hundred orders a month, that's a real decision, so check whether a program actually brings that many extra sales.
Tips for Lazada sellers
- Use the new-seller promo period. Lazada usually runs a 0% commission promo for new sellers. Tick "I'm a new seller" to see your payout during that window, then untick it to make sure your price still works afterward.
- Price your vouchers into the plan. Use the "Your discount" field for seller-funded vouchers. Commission is charged after the discount, but your product cost isn't, so margins shrink faster than the discount suggests.
- Mind your box size. Shipping is priced by the heavier of actual and volumetric weight. Check it with the volumetric weight calculator.
Frequently asked questions
What is Lazada's commission rate in the Philippines?
It depends on category and seller type. Lazada's tables put Marketplace commission at 8.5% to 10.5% (since July 4, 2025) and LazMall at 6.12% to 11.08%, with digital goods at 3.36%. Pick your category in the calculator to use the exact rate.
Is the payment fee charged on shipping too?
Yes. The 2.24% payment fee is based on the amount the buyer paid after your promos, including shipping the buyer paid.
Does Lazada withhold tax from my payouts?
Yes, once you pass the ₱500,000 yearly threshold under BIR Revenue Regulations No. 16-2023. Lazada withholds 1% of half your gross remittances, about 0.5%. You can credit it against your income tax. Tick the withholding box to see it.
Why does my payout differ from this calculator?
Usually because of a program fee you joined, a shipping fee difference, or a category different from the one you picked. Compare each line of your order's transaction details with the payout slip above.
