    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. 1Revenue is sale price multiplied by quantity.
    2. 2Gumroad fee is revenue times platform fee percent based on plan.
    3. 3Processing fee is revenue times processing percent plus fixed fee per transaction.
    4. 4Total fees combine Gumroad fee plus processing fee.
    5. 5Total costs are product cost times quantity.
    6. 6Net profit equals revenue minus total fees minus product costs.
    7. 7Profit margin equals net profit divided by revenue.
    8. 8Effective fee percent equals total fees divided by revenue.

    Formulas

    • Revenue = salePrice × quantity
    • Gumroad fee = revenue × gumroadFee%
    • Processing fee = (revenue × processing%) + processingFixed
    • Total fees = gumroadFee + processingFee
    • Net profit = revenue − totalFees − productCost
    • Profit margin = netProfit ÷ revenue × 100
    • Effective fee % = totalFees ÷ revenue × 100

    Important assumptions

    • Gumroad Free plan charges 10% platform fee with no monthly cost, Pro charges $10 per month plus 5%. This calculator uses percent-per-sale only; monthly $10 is reference.
    • Payment processing is separate, typically 2.9% + $0.30 US domestic via Stripe/PayPal, varies by country and card type.
    • Product cost can be zero for purely digital goods or amortized hosting/tools per sale.
    • VAT and sales tax handling by Gumroad is not modeled; enter tax-exclusive price for margin view.
    • Gumroad Discover and affiliate cuts, if you use them, are additional and not included here.

    Worked example

    Notion template pack

    You sell a $29 template pack, 10 sales this month, Free plan 10%, Stripe 2.9% + $0.30, $0 product cost.

    Revenue $290. Gumroad fee $29, processing $8.71, total fees $37.71, net profit $252.29, margin 87%, effective fee rate 13%. On Pro at 5%, Gumroad fee would be $14.50, processing same $8.71, total $23.21, profit $266.79 before $10 monthly, so $256.79 net including monthly. Pro saves about $4.50 at this volume.
