A discount lowers gross revenue. VAT shrinks the taxable base. Affiliate payouts take a cut. Refund reserve hides what you actually keep. Load a realistic course sale below, then push the numbers into the full calculator and see your real margin.
A generic calculator stops at Stripe's percentage and fixed fee. Course revenue rarely stops there. Discounts, VAT on the taxable base, affiliate splits, and a refund reserve all move the take-home number before you see it. The preset above stacks those costs in the order they actually hit a course sale, so the figure you walk away with reflects the deductions you are going to face.
Start with net profit and break-even list price. If the margin feels thinner than expected, test a smaller coupon, a lower affiliate share, or a higher list price before you open enrollment.
Yes. The preset is only a starting point. Once the calculator opens, change VAT rate, affiliate cut, refund reserve, product cost, or price to match your exact course business.
If your break-even price is higher than your planned public price, the sale is not truly viable yet. Use the calculator to test a higher list price, smaller discounts, or lower partner payouts until the margin works.
