    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. 1Calculate gross and adjusted revenue for each revenue type.
    2. 2Apply the matching user-entered designer share to each adjusted stream.
    3. 3Subtract payout costs, production, software, marketing, and overhead.
    4. 4Calculate pre-tax profit, reserve, margin, and after-reserve profit per hour.
    5. 5Estimate additional single sales needed after subscription and bundle baseline contribution.
    6. 6Keep unallocated platform share visible without labeling it as an official fee.

    Formulas

    • Gross revenue = single gross + subscription allocation + bundle allocation
    • Adjusted revenue = each stream × (1 − its adjustment rate), summed
    • Designer revenue = adjusted single × single share + adjusted subscription × subscription share + adjusted bundle × bundle share
    • Payout = adjusted revenue × payout rate + payout fixed × payout transactions
    • Pre-tax profit = designer revenue − payout − production − operating costs
    • After-reserve profit = pre-tax profit − max(0, pre-tax profit) × reserve rate
    • Break-even single sales = ceiling(max(0, fixed costs − baseline subscription and bundle contribution) ÷ single-sale contribution)

    Important assumptions

    • No official Creative Fabrica commission, royalty, or allocation formula is asserted. Enter the current designer rates for single sales, subscriptions, and bundles.
    • The 60% defaults are illustrative starting assumptions only and are not Creative Fabrica terms.
    • Subscription and bundle revenue fields are allocation amounts attributed to your designs, not a guessed share of a platform-wide pool.
    • Payout costs are kept separate from platform share. Software, assets, marketing, production, overhead, and tax reserve are creator operating costs.
    • Break-even uses single-sale volume as the adjustable unit while treating subscription and bundle contribution as a monthly baseline. It is a scenario, not a demand forecast.

    Worked example

    A mixed Creative Fabrica month

    Eighty single sales average $20, subscription allocation is $300, bundle allocation is $150, all three designer shares use illustrative 60% defaults, adjustments are 3%, 0%, and 0%, payout is 2.9% plus $0.30 across one payout, production is $2 per single sale plus $150 monthly, operating costs are $320, and reserve is 20%.

    Gross revenue is $2,050 and adjusted revenue is $2,002. The illustrative designer revenue is about $1,201.20, payout costs are about $58.36, production is $310, operating costs are $320, and pre-tax profit is about $512.84. After reserve, profit is about $410.27 across 60 hours. Replace the illustrative shares with current terms.
