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
- 1Read the target, subscriber context, and paid transaction count.
- 2Calculate collected revenue at a trial price after refunds.
- 3Apply the entered Kit commerce fee and external processor costs.
- 4Add Kit account cost, payout cost, delivery and content costs, and tax reserve.
- 5Solve the lowest price for target take-home and target margin.
- 6Compare the current test price and show each cost separately.
Formulas
- Gross = price x paid transactions
- Collected = gross x (1 - refund rate)
- Pre-reserve net = collected - Kit fee - processing - Kit cost - payout - delivery and content
- After-reserve net = pre-reserve net - max(0, pre-reserve net) x reserve rate
- Price for take-home solves after-reserve net = target take-home
- Price for margin solves after-reserve net / gross = target margin
Important assumptions
- ConvertKit is now Kit. No current Kit plan price or commerce percentage is presented as official. Enter your account values before using the output.
- The solver treats paid transaction count as fixed. It does not model list growth, conversion, churn, or price elasticity.
- Refunds reduce collected revenue before percentage platform and processor costs. Processor fixed fee is charged once per paid transaction.
- Kit monthly cost, payout cost, and delivery or content costs are fixed monthly assumptions.
- Target take-home and margin are after the optional reserve on positive pre-reserve net.
