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