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 equals salePrice times quantity.
- 2Gumroad fee equals revenue times gumroadFeePercent divided by 100.
- 3Processing fee equals revenue times paymentProcessingPercent divided by 100 plus paymentProcessingFixed.
- 4Total fees equal Gumroad fee plus processing fee.
- 5Product and marketing costs equal (productCost + marketingCost) times quantity plus taxWithholding.
- 6Net profit equals revenue minus totalFees minus total product and marketing costs.
- 7Profit margin equals net profit divided by revenue times 100.
- 8Effective fee percent equals total fees divided by revenue times 100.
Formulas
- Revenue = salePrice × quantity
- Gumroad fee = revenue × gumroadFee%
- Processing = revenue × processing% + processingFixed
- Total fees = gumroadFee + processing
- Net profit = revenue − totalFees − (product+marketing)×qty − withholding
- Profit margin = netProfit ÷ revenue × 100
- Effective fee % = totalFees ÷ revenue × 100
Important assumptions
- Gumroad Free plan charges 10% platform fee with no monthly, Pro charges $10 per month plus 5%. This calculator models percent only; add Pro monthly to marketingCost per order if needed.
- Payment processing is typically 2.9% + $0.30 US domestic, varies by country and card.
- Product cost can be zero for purely digital goods or amortized hosting and tools per sale.
- Tax withholding field is a flat buffer for international sellers who face withholding; not a tax calculator.
- Revenue is sale price times quantity. Fees scale with revenue plus fixed per transaction.
