Worked example

A $299 course with a 20% launch coupon, VAT, and a 30% affiliate still keeps $107.32.

The preset uses a $299 list price, $15 delivery cost, a 20% coupon, 20% VAT, a 30% affiliate cut, a 5% refund reserve, and standard 2.9% + $0.30 Stripe fees.

Result

You keep $107.32 per sale — 53.84% of the $199.33 you collect after VAT.

At this cost stack, you break even at a $27.82 list price. To clear a 20% margin on net-of-VAT revenue, list at $41.23 or higher.

List price
$299.00 before discounts. The 20% coupon brings the sale price to $239.20.
VAT and fees
$39.87 to VAT, $7.24 to Stripe.
Partner and risk
$59.80 to the affiliate, $9.97 set aside as refund reserve.
Net profit
$107.32 per sale after the full stack, including $15.00 delivery cost.

Coupons and VAT, in the right order

When VAT applies to the discounted sale price, a 20% coupon shrinks the VAT base before it shrinks your revenue. The calculator runs the deductions in that order so the take-home figure matches what actually lands in your account. Confirm the rule that applies to your jurisdiction and seller-of-record setup before pricing.

Affiliate cut and refund reserve, together

A launch usually pays an affiliate percentage and holds back a refund reserve. Both come out of net-of-VAT revenue before delivery cost. Together they often decide whether a discounted launch price still earns what you planned for.
