Calculate the revenue your online course keeps after refunds, platform charges, payment processing, and other sale-linked costs. Percentage fees are applied to sales after refunds, while fixed processing charges use the transaction count. The result includes a retained margin and net revenue per transaction so you can see whether sales volume is translating into usable revenue.
Net revenue is the portion of adjusted sales left after the deductions entered here. It is not accounting profit because general overhead, payroll, tax, and unrelated operating expenses may still remain.
Fee bases vary by provider. Check your statements and adjust inputs if a platform charges fees on taxes, shipping, or pre-refund sales.
From $10,000 gross sales, subtract $500 in refunds. On $9,500 adjusted sales, 10% platform fees are $950 and 2.9% processing is $275.50. With 250 fixed fees of $0.30 and $350 other costs, net revenue is $7,849.50, or 82.63% of adjusted sales.
No. Net revenue removes the entered sale-linked deductions, but it does not automatically include payroll, overhead, taxes, or every operating expense.
This calculator applies percentage fees after refunds and discounts. Adjust the inputs if your provider uses a different fee base.
The calculator multiplies the fixed fee per transaction by the transaction count and includes that amount in total deductions.
Yes. Refunds and sale-linked costs can exceed adjusted sales. A negative result means the entered period did not retain revenue before broader overhead.
Use revenue excluding taxes collected on behalf of authorities unless your internal reporting deliberately treats those amounts differently.
