    How it works

    Methodology & formulas

    This calculator is transparent by design. Review the steps and formulas so you can trust the estimate and adjust assumptions when your dashboard differs.

    Calculation steps

    1. 1Start with gross paid newsletter or product revenue.
    2. 2Reduce gross revenue by the entered refund or credit rate.
    3. 3Apply the editable Kit commerce fee and external processor costs to collected revenue.
    4. 4Add the monthly Kit cost and payout or bank cost once.
    5. 5Subtract all modeled costs from collected revenue.
    6. 6Divide total deductions by gross revenue for the effective cost rate.

    Formulas

    • Refunds = gross revenue x refund rate
    • Collected revenue = gross revenue - refunds
    • Kit commerce fee = collected revenue x entered commerce rate
    • Processing = collected revenue x processor rate + transactions x fixed processor fee
    • Net proceeds = collected revenue - commerce fee - processing - Kit monthly cost - payout cost
    • Effective cost rate = (gross revenue - net proceeds) / gross revenue x 100

    Important assumptions

    • ConvertKit is now Kit. Current monthly costs, commerce percentages, and account terms can vary, so this calculator does not present a current official Kit price or commerce percentage.
    • Enter Kit's current platform or commerce fee from your account. The starting value is 0 only to avoid implying an unsupported current term.
    • External processing is separate from Kit and uses the editable rate, fixed fee, and paid transaction count.
    • Refunds reduce collected revenue before percentage fees. Payout and bank cost is a monthly external amount.
    • Net proceeds are before software, content, marketing, overhead, tax reserve, and creator labor.

    Worked example

    A hypothetical Kit paid-revenue scenario

    5,000 subscribers, 3,000 gross monthly paid revenue, 250 transactions, 29 monthly Kit cost, a hypothetical 1.5% commerce fee, 2.9% plus 0.30 processor terms, 25 payout cost, and 2% refunds. The values are illustrative and not current Kit terms.

    Refunds are 60, collected revenue is 2,940, the hypothetical Kit commerce fee is 44.10, and external processing is 162.75. After the 29 Kit cost and 25 payout cost, net proceeds are about 2,679.15. This is a hypothetical worked example only.
