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
- 1TotalCosts = productCost + marketingCost.
- 2CombinedRate = (gumroadFeePercent + paymentProcessingPercent) / 100.
- 3FixedFee = paymentProcessingFixed.
- 4RecommendedPrice = (TotalCosts + FixedFee + TargetProfit) / (1 − CombinedRate).
- 5GumroadFeeAtPrice = RecommendedPrice × gumroadFeePercent / 100.
- 6ProcessingAtPrice = RecommendedPrice × processingPercent / 100 + FixedFee.
- 7EffectiveMargin = TargetProfit / RecommendedPrice × 100.
Formulas
- Costs = product + marketing
- CombinedRate = gumroad% + processing%
- Recommended = (costs + fixed + target) ÷ (1 − combinedRate)
- GumroadFee = recommended × gumroad%
- Processing = recommended × processing% + fixed
- Margin = target ÷ recommended × 100
Important assumptions
- Recommended price formula: (costs + fixed + target) / (1 − combinedRate) where combinedRate = Gumroad% + processing%.
- Combined percent is Gumroad platform percent plus payment processing percent; fixed fee is $0.30 default per transaction.
- Monthly Pro $10 charge not included in per-order price; compare total monthly savings separately.
- When combined percent approaches 100%, formula breaks; validation prevents that.
- Price is tax-exclusive; Gumroad VAT handling not modeled.
Worked example
