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
- 1Calculate retail price as base price × (1 + markup%).
- 2Calculate artist markup earnings as base price × markup%.
- 3Apply excess-markup fee to earnings above the threshold for Standard and Premium.
- 4Apply the selected platform fee to remaining artist earnings.
- 5Allocate any monthly account fee and subtract other costs from per-order earnings.
Formulas
- Retail price = base price × (1 + markup% ÷ 100)
- Artist margin = base price × markup% ÷ 100
- Excess fee = max(0, markup earnings above threshold) × excess fee%
- Platform fee = remaining artist earnings × tier or override rate
- Net earnings = remaining earnings − platform fee − account allocation − other costs
Important assumptions
- Redbubble base price is controlled by Redbubble; artist markup controls the artist margin and retail price.
- Tier planning defaults are Standard 50%, Premium 20%, and Pro 0% platform fee on earnings remaining after excess-markup treatment.
- Standard and Premium apply an editable excess-markup fee to markup earnings above the editable 20% threshold. Pro defaults to no excess-markup fee.
- Markup defaults conflict in public references between 10% and 20%, so the field remains editable.
- Buyer-paid shipping is shown separately and is not counted as artist margin. Account fee, payout threshold, and other costs are editable planning assumptions.
- Verify tier eligibility, country, currency, current dashboard terms, and payout rules before acting.
