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 selected product type and plan to choose the editable planning context for the platform fee.
- 2Apply the platform fee to retail revenue.
- 3Apply the selected payment-processing rate and one fixed charge for each paid transaction.
- 4Subtract the modeled base or manufacturing cost and the selected plan cost once.
- 5Return net creator proceeds and show effective cost and net-margin percentages.
Formulas
- Platform fee = retail revenue x product and plan platform-fee rate
- Processing = retail revenue x processing rate + paid transactions x fixed fee
- Plan cost = 0 for Free, or entered estimated Pro monthly cost
- Net creator proceeds = retail revenue - platform fee - processing - base cost - plan cost
- Effective total cost rate = (retail revenue - net creator proceeds) / retail revenue x 100
- Net proceeds margin = net creator proceeds / retail revenue x 100
Important assumptions
- Planning contexts start at 0% for catalog physical and self-fulfilled products, 5% for digital on Free, 0% for digital on Pro, and 5% for membership on either plan.
- The platform-fee contexts are editable planning inputs. They are not a promise of current Fourthwall terms, and a custom rate can represent the current account or product agreement.
- Processing starts at cards domestic 2.9% plus $0.30, cards international 3.9% plus $0.30, PayPal domestic 3.49% plus $0.49, or PayPal international 4.99% plus $0.49. These values remain editable.
- Free is modeled at $0. Pro uses the estimated monthly cost entered in the calculator. Replace the estimate before making a plan decision.
- Net creator proceeds are before refunds, marketing, tax, software, and other operating costs. Platform fees and processing are counted as separate deductions once each.
