    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

    1. 1Revenue is sale price times quantity.
    2. 2Payhip fee is revenue times transaction fee percent based on plan selection.
    3. 3Processing fee is revenue times processing percent plus fixed fee per order.
    4. 4Total fees combine Payhip fee plus processing fee.
    5. 5Product costs combine any creation or maintenance cost times quantity.
    6. 6Net profit equals revenue minus total fees minus product costs.
    7. 7Profit margin equals net profit divided by revenue.
    8. 8Effective fee percent equals total fees divided by revenue.

    Formulas

    • Revenue = salePrice × quantity
    • Payhip fee = revenue × transactionFee%
    • Processing fee = (revenue × processing%) + processingFixed
    • Total fees = payhipFee + processingFee
    • Net profit = revenue − totalFees − productCost
    • Profit margin = netProfit ÷ revenue × 100
    • Effective fee % = totalFees ÷ revenue × 100

    Important assumptions

    • Payhip Free charges 5% transaction fee, Plus charges 2% plus $29 monthly, Pro charges 0% plus $99 monthly. This calculator uses percent only for per-order math; monthly costs are reference.
    • Payment processing via PayPal or Stripe is separate, typically 2.9% + $0.30 US domestic, varies by country.
    • Product cost can be zero for purely digital goods or amortized hosting/creation cost per sale.
    • VAT and EU digital VAT MOSS collection is not modeled; Payhip handles VAT based on your tax settings.
    • Affiliate program payouts, if you run Payhip affiliates, are not included in this calculation.

    Worked example

    Digital ebook bundle

    You sell an ebook bundle for $19.99, one copy, Free plan 5%, Stripe 2.9% + $0.30, product cost $0.

    Revenue $19.99, Payhip fee $1.00, processing $0.88, total fees $1.88, net profit $18.11, margin 90.6%, effective fee rate 9.4%. Moving to Plus at same price would be $0.40 Payhip + $0.88 processing = $1.28 fees, profit $18.71, margin 93.6%.
