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
- 1GrossSales = salePrice × salesPerMonth.
- 2PlatformFee = GrossSales × platformFeePercent.
- 3ProcessingFee = GrossSales × processingPercent + processingFixed × salesPerMonth.
- 4BackOfficeFee = GrossSales × backOfficePercent.
- 5OtherFees = GrossSales × (currencyConversionPercent + otherFeePercent) + otherFeePerSale × salesPerMonth.
- 6TotalFees = platform + processing + BackOffice + other fees + monthly plan cost.
- 7NetPayout = GrossSales − TotalFees and EffectiveFeeRate = TotalFees ÷ GrossSales × 100.
Formulas
- Gross sales = average sale price × monthly sales
- Platform = gross sales × platform fee %
- Processing = gross sales × processing % + fixed fee × sales
- BackOffice = gross sales × BackOffice %
- Other = gross sales × (conversion % + other %) + other fixed fee × sales
- Net payout = gross sales − platform − processing − BackOffice − other − plan cost
Important assumptions
- Starter is shown as 39 monthly or 29 monthly equivalent on annual billing, Builder as 89 or 69, and Growth as 189 or 139. Custom is a contact-sales context. These are editable starting assumptions, not guarantees.
- Starter uses a visible 7.5% base platform-fee starting assumption. Builder, Growth, and Custom use 0% base platform fee starting assumptions in the researched model.
- A 0% base platform fee does not mean payment processing is free. Processing percentage and fixed fees stay separate and editable.
- BackOffice is optional. The researched allowance is around 2% to 2.8%, but this calculator starts at 0% so the fee is never hidden when you do not use the service.
- Currency conversion, other fees, plan prices, and custom gateway costs vary by country, account, payment method, and time.
- Processing fees may not be returned when a sale is refunded. Check the applicable payment policy before using this as a cash forecast.
