Short Answer
Our commission table is the Daraz University PK commission rates, effective 1 June 2026, excluding VAT, exported from our database and cleaned of test categories. Fee mechanics such as VAT, payment fee and shipping were checked on real weekly statements that we do not publish. Tax rates are observed estimates, not legal rates.
Our free calculators and guides use real Daraz numbers. This page says where each number comes from, how far we trust it and where it stops. If something here is wrong, we want to hear it. I have sold on Daraz since 2015 and run 14 Daraz stores, and the checks below were done on my own stores' statements.
Where Does the Commission Table Come From?
Commission rates come from the Daraz University PK commission rates, effective 1 June 2026, excluding VAT, last updated by Daraz on 27 October 2026. We hold a copy in our own database and export it to the file that powers the Daraz commission list and both calculators. The latest export was on 13 November 2026.
The export has 7,840 category paths across 28 top-level categories. Each path has its own rate, and some paths have none because only their children are rated. We do not average or round rates. We show them as exported.
What Did We Remove?
The source table contains rows that are not real selling categories for a normal seller: test categories, a cutover drill, an operations category, services, samples, packaging material, top-up and similar internal entries. We remove 14 such top-level categories before publishing, so your search does not return them. We do not change any rate in the categories that stay.
How Were the Fee Mechanics Checked?
The table gives commission only. Everything else on a statement is a mechanic, and Daraz does not publish all of them in one place. We checked them against real weekly statements from three weekly statements in October 2026, line by line. On the statements we checked, we found:
- 15 percent VAT applies to the handling fee, Daraz shipping charges and Coins fees, and the commission on a statement is effectively VAT-inclusive.
- The payment fee is 2.25 percent of the item price plus 15 percent VAT, which is 2.5875 percent.
- The payment fee and the withholding taxes are charged on the item price, not on the shipping the buyer pays.
- The shipping charge minus the shipping discount, excluding VAT, equals the buyer shipping fee.
We do not publish those statements. They hold order numbers, product names and store figures, and none of that belongs on a public page. Every worked example on this site uses a fictional store and made-up prices, labelled Example.
Three statements is a small sample, and statements can differ by account. That is why we phrase these as "on the statements we checked".
What About Withholding Tax?
We do not state legal rates. What we saw on real statements was sales tax withholding of about 1.9 to 2.0 percent of the item price and income tax withholding of about 1.6 to 1.7 percent. The calculators use values inside those ranges as editable defaults. They are estimates, and you should check your own statement and FBR guidance. See the withholding tax guide for why published sources disagree.
What Do We Not Know?
- Handling fee tiers. The profit calculator fills in a handling fee by price tier. Those tiers come from a third-party summary of Daraz University, and we have not confirmed them on Daraz's own page. For that reason our guides do not state handling amounts as fact, and the calculator lets you type your own figure.
- Special arrangements. Some accounts may have rates or terms that differ from the public table. We cannot see yours.
- Return and cancellation charges. We do not have a sourced rule for every case, so our guides treat a return as a cost you estimate yourself.
- Changes after our export. Daraz can change a rate at any time. Check the effective date at the top of each page.
- Your tax position. We are not tax advisers. See the fees guide and talk to your accountant.
What Do We Claim About Competitors and Daraz?
We are not affiliated with Daraz. We use "Daraz" only as the name of the platform and "Seller Center" for its seller portal. If we compare ourselves with another tool, we describe only what we read on its public pages, with the date we read it.
How Do I Report a Wrong Number?
Send us three things: the page you were on, the number you think is wrong, and what you see in Seller Center or on your statement instead. For a statement, hide order numbers and customer details first.
- Email support@sellersrevolution.com
- WhatsApp 0303 9238866
When a report is right, we fix the data, update the date on the page and say what changed. To use the data, start with the commission list, the profit calculator or the seller fees guide, and see is Daraz selling profitable for the math end to end.
Questions
Is this data official?
The commission rates are taken from the Daraz University PK table, which is Daraz's own publication, but this site is not Daraz and is not affiliated with it. We publish a copy with the date it was effective. If Daraz has published a newer table, the newer one wins.
Do you publish the statements you checked?
No. Real statements contain order numbers and store figures, so we do not publish them. We describe what we checked and what we found, and we ask you to compare against your own statement.
Why are your tax figures a range?
Because they are observations from real weekly statements, not a legal rate. We saw sales tax withholding of about 1.9 to 2.0 percent of the item price and income tax withholding of about 1.6 to 1.7 percent. Rates depend on law and your own tax profile, so check FBR guidance.
What if my Seller Center rate differs from your table?
Your Seller Center and your statement are the final word for your account. Differences usually come from a deeper category, a newer table or a special arrangement on your account. Tell us and we will check.
How often do you update the table?
We re-export it when we see that Daraz has changed it, and every page that shows it prints the effective date and the last update date. We do not promise a fixed schedule.
