Society6 Artist Profit Calculator
Review the outcome of a Society6 product or planned sale from the base price the platform controls to the net artist earnings your markup creates. Choose the standard 10% scenario, a higher or custom markup case, and the product discount that applies, then subtract any external marketplace commission, plan allocation, and other costs. The result is an artist-earnings view, not a claim about a universal payout schedule. Use pricing to choose markup and fees to inspect the mechanics before reviewing the full 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
- 1Record the Society6-controlled base price and calculate the discounted amount for the order.
- 2Apply the selected markup scenario to calculate artist markup earnings.
- 3Subtract external marketplace commission, allocated plan cost, and other order costs to find net artist earnings.
- 4Scale the per-order result by expected monthly orders and compare it with any entered payout threshold.
- 5Keep shipping promotion, clearance, and payout method visible as context rather than treating them as additional earnings.
Formulas
- Discounted base price = base price − min(base price, base price × productDiscount% + productDiscountAmount)
- Artist markup earnings = discounted base price × markup%
- Net artist earnings = artist markup earnings − marketplace commission − plan allocation − other costs
- Monthly earnings = net artist earnings × expected monthly orders
- Payout progress = monthly earnings ÷ payout threshold × 100 when a threshold is entered
Important assumptions
- Society6 controls the base price. Net artist earnings are modeled from the discounted base multiplied by the selected markup, then reduced by optional costs.
- Standard markup starts at 10%, while higher and custom scenarios remain editable. These scenarios do not establish universal plan eligibility or account limits.
- Third-party marketplace commission applies only when the marketplace-sale toggle is on. Plan cost is optional and allocated across expected monthly orders because plan terms can change.
- Product discounts reduce the base used for markup. Shipping promotions remain separate and do not reduce artist earnings by default.
- Thirty-day clearance, monthly PayPal payout, and no explicit minimum threshold are editable planning context, not a guarantee of current settlement timing.
- Taxes, returns, production costs, and account-specific deductions are outside net artist earnings unless entered as other order costs.
