Guru Fee Calculator
Enter one Guru invoice and choose the plan context you want to test. With custom job fee off, the selected plan supplies Guru's researched 9%, 7%, 6%, or 5% context. Turn the toggle on only when you want the editable fee field to override the plan, including a deliberate 0%. The calculator keeps that fee separate from an employer-covered percentage-point contribution, then adds editable membership and withdrawal assumptions. Plan prices and payout terms can change, so verify the current agreement before you rely on a result.

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
- 1Use the selected plan's researched job-fee context unless custom job fee is on; then use the entered fee exactly, including 0%.
- 2Calculate the listed job fee from invoice value.
- 3Subtract the employer-covered percentage-point contribution, never below zero.
- 4Allocate membership and fixed withdrawal costs across monthly jobs.
- 5Subtract the freelancer job fee, withdrawal, and membership allocation from the invoice.
- 6Report the effective deduction from the freelancer's perspective.
Formulas
- Listed job-fee% = selected plan rate unless custom job fee is on, then the entered custom fee; Listed job fee = invoice × listed job-fee%
- Employer-covered = invoice × min(employer points, listed fee%)
- Freelancer job fee = listed job fee − employer-covered
- Withdrawal = invoice × withdrawal% + fixed fee × withdrawals ÷ monthly jobs
- Membership allocation = monthly membership ÷ monthly jobs
- Net take-home = invoice − freelancer job fee − withdrawal − membership allocation
Important assumptions
- With custom job fee off, the selected plan supplies Basic at 9%, Basic+ at 9%, Professional at 7%, Business at 6%, or Executive at 5%. Turn it on to use the editable job-fee field instead, including a deliberate 0%.
- Employer contribution is modeled as percentage points of invoice value, capped at the listed job fee. It depends on each Agreement and is not a guaranteed Guru discount.
- Membership allocation divides the entered monthly plan cost by monthly jobs. The calculator does not assume a mandatory monthly subscription for Basic.
- ACH and PayPal are shown with a researched $0 Guru-fee context, while wire has a researched $9 per withdrawal context. Account, minimum, and foreign-exchange rules may still apply.
- Guru client handling fees are explanatory context and are not deducted from freelancer take-home here.

Worked example
Professional plan with a 1,000 invoice
Custom job fee is off, so the Professional plan supplies its 7% context. The employer covers 2.5 percentage points, membership cost is 21.95 per month across four jobs, and the withdrawal charge is zero.
