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