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
- 1Select the plan, billing context, payment setup, and sale type.
- 2Apply plan-based Kajabi Payments processing when enabled, or the entered processor rate.
- 3Apply the plan-based Stripe platform example only for third-party Stripe unless a custom platform override is enabled.
- 4Calculate percentage surcharges, fixed optional charges, refund retention, dispute allowance, and monthly plan cost.
- 5Subtract every visible bucket from gross sales to show payout and effective deduction rate.
Formulas
- Gross sales = sale price × monthly sales
- Platform fee = gross × effective platform rate
- Processing = gross × processor rate + fixed fee × sales
- Surcharges = gross × (subscription + international when selected + currency rates)
- Refund and dispute allowance = refund rate × retained fee + dispute rate × dispute fee, per sale
- Net payout = gross − all visible fees − plan cost
Important assumptions
- Starting monthly plan contexts are Starter or Kickstarter $89, Basic $179, Growth $249, and Pro $499. Prices and annual equivalents can change, so the monthly plan cost is editable.
- Kajabi Payments US card starting rates are 2.9% for Starter and Basic, 2.8% for Growth, and 2.7% for Pro. They are country and account dependent and can be overridden.
- Third-party Stripe platform-fee examples are 5% Starter, 2% Basic, 1% Growth, and 0.5% Pro. PayPal has no extra Kajabi platform fee in this default scenario, while PayPal processing remains editable.
- Subscription, international-card, currency-conversion, sales-tax, invoice, BNPL, ACH, instant-payout, refund, and dispute charges vary. They remain visible as editable inputs.
- Kajabi does not file or remit creator taxes. Tax collected at checkout is not creator profit, and refunds or processing-fee retention depend on the applicable policy.
- Verify current Kajabi and gateway terms before publishing prices or forecasting cash flow.
