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
- 1Choose direct, affiliate-driven, or Plus Partner Fund income.
- 2Reduce the entered eligible sale base by the refund adjustment for one-off sales.
- 3Apply the 75% direct or 50% affiliate designer research context, or calculate the Plus fund from net membership income and downloads.
- 4Show affiliate allocation and unallocated platform portions separately.
- 5Subtract editable payout or FX costs and an optional reserve from the designer share.
- 6Report the effective reduction and keep uncertain terms visible for verification.
Formulas
- Adjusted eligible base = eligible sale base × (1 − refund rate)
- Direct designer share = adjusted eligible base × direct share%
- Affiliate designer share = adjusted eligible base × affiliate designer share%; affiliate share = adjusted eligible base × affiliate share%
- Partner Fund = net membership income × Partner Fund%
- Plus designer share = Partner Fund × min(1, designer downloads ÷ total site downloads)
- Payout = designer share × payout rate + payout fixed cost
- Net designer proceeds = designer share − payout − tax reserve on positive pre-reserve proceeds
Important assumptions
- Current research contexts use a 75% designer share for a direct marketplace sale, a 50% designer share for an affiliate-driven sale, and a 25% affiliate share kept separate from the designer share. Verify the current agreement before relying on any rate.
- Plus uses 50% of net membership income after platform costs in the Partner Fund research context. Your allocation is that fund multiplied by your downloads divided by total site downloads.
- The eligible sale base is user-entered because exact discount, country tax or VAT, refund, price-floor, royalty-base, and timing rules can vary. The calculator does not infer them.
- Payout minimums and timing are not treated as designer payout rules. The $10 PayPal and $50 bank thresholds reported for affiliates are not used here.
- Payout or FX costs and the optional tax reserve are separate from platform allocation. Net designer proceeds are a planning result, not a payout statement.
