    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. 1GrossRevenue = salePrice × salesPerMonth.
    2. 2PlatformFee and ProcessingFee follow their visible percentage and fixed inputs.
    3. 3ServiceFees = GrossRevenue × (BackOffice% + conversion% + optional service%) + optional cost per sale × sales.
    4. 4RefundReserve = GrossRevenue × refundReservePercent.
    5. 5OperatingCosts = marketingMonthly + otherOperatingCosts.
    6. 6NetProfit = GrossRevenue − platform − processing − services − reserve − plan cost − operating costs.
    7. 7BreakEvenSales = (plan cost + operating costs) ÷ contribution per sale when contribution is positive.

    Formulas

    • Revenue = price × sales
    • Processing = revenue × processing% + fixed × sales
    • Services = revenue × (BackOffice% + conversion% + optional%) + optional fixed × sales
    • Reserve = revenue × reserve%
    • Profit = revenue − all fees − reserve − plan − operating costs
    • Break-even sales = fixed costs ÷ (price − variable cost per sale)

    Important assumptions

    • Starter uses a 7.5% base platform-fee starting assumption. Builder, Growth, and Custom use 0% base platform fee starting assumptions in the researched model. Processing is separate in every case.
    • Plan prices, processing, BackOffice, currency conversion, affiliate costs, and custom gateway fees are editable starting assumptions, not guarantees.
    • BackOffice is optional. Test an allowance around 2% to 2.8% only when it applies to your agreement.
    • Refund reserve is a planning allowance. It does not claim that a particular Teachable or gateway fee is returned or retained on refunds.
    • Taxes collected or handled on behalf of students are not creator profit or income-tax expense. Enter only creator-controlled costs here.
    • Break-even sales use contribution after variable fees and reserve, before the plan and fixed operating costs.
