Lemon Squeezy Fee Calculator accuracy and testing

Formula source

• Gross order revenue = order price x orders. Net revenue = gross revenue x (1 - refund rate) - platform fee - processing fee - fixed fees - tax/reserve adjustment - fulfillment costs.

Assumptions

• All fees, rates, commissions, CPMs, conversion rates, refund rates, and costs are user-entered assumptions.
• No current Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy, Patreon, podcast advertising, or brand deal pricing is hardcoded.
• Platform and deal estimates depend on the assumptions entered and should be checked against your current agreement, dashboard, or invoice.
• Calculations are deterministic and run locally in the browser without storing private creator revenue data.
