Mathematical Audit

Skool Community Revenue Formula

Skool charges a flat monthly subscription ($9 for Hobby, $99 for Pro) plus a per-transaction fee on member payments: 10% + $0.30 on Hobby, or 2.9% + $0.30 on Pro. Community owners can also earn 40% recurring commissions by referring other creators to Skool.

Gross Membership Revenue = Number of Members × Monthly Membership Price
Transaction Fees = Number of Members × (Monthly Membership Price × Fee Rate + $0.30)
Fee Rate = 10% (Hobby Plan) or 2.9% (Pro Plan)
Net Community Revenue = Gross Membership Revenue − Transaction Fees − Platform Subscription ($9 or $99)
Affiliate Income = Affiliate Referrals × Plan Price × 40%
Total Monthly Income = Net Community Revenue + Affiliate Income
Annual Income Projection = Total Monthly Income × 12

The Hobby plan ($9/month) is generally more cost-effective below roughly $1,200-$1,400/month in membership revenue; above that, the Pro plan's lower 2.9% transaction fee outweighs its higher $99/month subscription cost.
