Gumroad fees: 10% flat rate for sellers below 1,000 monthly GMV, dropping to 8%/6%/5%/4.5% as monthly volume crosses 1k/10k/100k/1M. Plus payment processing (Stripe, typically 2.9% + 30 cents). This calculator uses blended 10% Gumroad + 3% payment as typical starting rate.
300 monthly sales × 20 average product = 6,000 gross revenue. 10% Gumroad fee + 3% payment = 13% total fees = 780. Net earnings 5,220/month, 62,640 annually. Modest but consistent for digital products - no inventory, no shipping, 70-80% gross margin on products.
Gumroad excels for simple digital products (ebooks, templates, small courses). Limitations: lightweight checkout customization, no advanced marketing automation, simpler than full commerce platforms. For creators with growing businesses, graduating to Teachable/ThriveCart/Kajabi often makes sense once monthly revenue exceeds 5-10k.
A worked example
Try the defaults: monthly sales volume of 300, avg product price of 20, gumroad fee of 10%, payment fee of 3%. The tool returns 5,220.00. You can adjust any input and the result updates as you type — no submit button, no reload. That's the real power here: seeing how sensitive the output is to one or two assumptions.
What moves the number most
The result responds to Monthly Sales Volume, Avg Product Price, Gumroad Fee %, and Payment Fee %. Not every input has equal weight. Flip one at a time toward extreme values to feel which ones move the needle most for your situation.
The formula behind this
Gross = sales × price. Fees = gross × (Gumroad + payment %). Net = gross - fees. Everything the calculator does is shown in the formula box below, so you can check the math against your own spreadsheet if you want.
What the score tells you
Headline financial numbers — income, savings, debt — each tell part of the story. This calculation stitches several together into a single read you can track over time. The value is in the direction, not the absolute number.
What this doesn't capture
The score is a composite of the inputs you provide. Life context — job security, family obligations, health, housing — doesn't appear in the math but shapes the real picture. Use the number as a prompt, not a verdict.
300 × £20 £ - 10% - 3% = $5,220.00.
