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
- 1Select product and sale context to load an approximate fixed commission.
- 2Use the editable commission field when current TeePublic terms differ.
- 3Subtract optional external payment and other costs from commission income.
- 4Estimate monthly earnings and progress toward the payout threshold.
Formulas
- Artist income per sale = fixed commission for product and context
- External/payment cost = reference retail × external% + fixed cost
- Net per sale = commission − external/payment cost − other cost
- Monthly earnings = net per sale × expected monthly sales
- Payout progress = monthly earnings ÷ threshold × 100
Important assumptions
- TeePublic is modeled with a fixed artist commission, not an artist-set markup.
- The 2026 US commission tables were not clearly published in the research. Product and sale-context amounts are approximate planning assumptions and are not official rates.
- Defaults start at $4 for a standard tee, $8 for a hoodie, $2 for a sticker, and $2 for kids apparel at full price. Discounted and partner-site values are also rough starting estimates.
- Turn off the scenario toggle and enter the commission shown in current TeePublic Artist documentation or your dashboard.
- Payout threshold starts around $10 and external or payment costs default to $0. Regional, product, and sale-context terms can differ.
