Mathematical Audit

How X Subscriptions Net Income Is Calculated

The calculator deducts platform fees, app store commissions, web processing fees, and content costs from gross subscription revenue.

Gross Revenue = Monthly Subscribers × Subscription Price
App Store Fees = Gross Revenue × Mobile Purchase % × 30%
Web Processing Fees = Gross Revenue × Web Purchase % × 2.9%
Platform Fee = Gross Revenue × 3%
Net Income = Gross Revenue - All Fees - Content Production Cost
Churn Loss = Gross Revenue × Churn Rate %

X takes a 3% platform fee plus payment processing. Mobile purchases through iOS/Android incur an additional 30% app store fee. Creators keep up to 97% of earnings until $50K total payouts, then the rate adjusts to 90%. Subscription prices typically range from $2.99 to $9.99/month.
