Gumroad Earnings Calculator
Creator platform earnings.
Calculate Gumroad net earnings from sales volume, product price, and the platform plus payment processing fees taken off the top.
What this tool does
This calculator models net earnings from a creator platform by deducting platform and payment processing fees from gross sales. Enter your expected monthly sales volume, average price per product, and the fee percentages charged by the platform and payment processor. The tool then calculates what remains as net monthly and annual earnings after both deductions are applied. The result represents take-home revenue before any other business expenses like taxes, tools, or time costs. Monthly sales volume and average product price are the primary drivers of the final figure—small changes to either significantly shift net earnings. A typical scenario might involve a creator with seasonal sales patterns testing how different pricing strategies affect actual revenue received. The calculator assumes consistent fee percentages and doesn't account for refunds, discounts, or variable pricing models. This output serves as an educational illustration of how fees compound across your earnings.
Quick answer: with the default values, the result is $5,220.00 (Monthly Net Earnings). Adjust the values below for your own figures.

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 applies once monthly revenue exceeds 5-10k.
A worked example
With 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.
What moves the number most
The result responds to Monthly Sales Volume, Avg Product Price, Gumroad Fee %, and Payment Fee %.
The formula behind this
Gross = sales × price. Fees = gross × (Gumroad + payment %). Net = gross - fees.
300 × £20 - 10% - 3% = $5,220.00.

Sources & Methodology
Methodology
The calculator computes net creator earnings by multiplying monthly sales volume by average product price to derive gross revenue. It then applies a combined fee rate—the sum of the Gumroad platform fee and payment processing fee percentages—to the gross amount, subtracting this total from gross revenue to obtain net earnings. The model assumes a constant fee structure across all transactions and treats fees as a simple percentage deduction with no tiered pricing, volume discounts, or additional surcharges. It does not account for refunds, chargebacks, currency conversion costs, or any taxes owed on net income. Results represent a single-month projection based on static inputs and do not model seasonal fluctuations or changes in sales volume over time.
