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
- 1Choose the offer, Podia plan, billing context, and processor.
- 2Apply the plan-based Podia fee unless a custom override is enabled.
- 3Calculate processor fees and optional percentage or fixed charges from monthly sales.
- 4Add the visible monthly plan cost and compare total deductions with gross sales.
- 5Spread plan cost across sales only when volume is above zero so the result never shows Infinity.
Formulas
- Gross sales = average sale price × monthly sales
- Podia fee = gross sales × Podia transaction fee %
- Processing = gross sales × processing % + fixed fee × sales
- Optional charges = gross sales × (currency + other %) + other fixed charge × sales
- Total deductions = Podia fee + processing + optional charges + plan cost
- Net payout = gross sales − total deductions
- Plan cost per sale = monthly plan cost ÷ sales when sales are above zero
Important assumptions
- Podia's permanent free plan is retired in this model. The current planning contexts are Mover at $49 monthly or $42 annual equivalent, Shaker at $99 or $84, and Earthquaker at $179 or $150. All plan costs are editable.
- Mover starts with a 5% Podia transaction-fee assumption. Shaker and Earthquaker start at 0% platform fee, but 0% does not remove Stripe or PayPal processing, plan cost, or optional charges.
- Processing starts at 2.9% plus $0.30 per payment. It is the creator's processor cost, not a Podia transaction fee, and actual terms vary by processor, country, card, currency, and payment method.
- Podia may return its platform fee on a refund while processor fees may not be returned. Check the current refund policy before treating net payout as cash received.
- Taxes calculated or collected at checkout are not creator profit. The creator remains responsible for tax compliance, refunds, and customer obligations.
- Verify current Podia, Stripe, or PayPal terms before publishing prices or forecasting cash flow.
