How it is worked out
Each customer pays 12 invoices that earn you commission: the first at 20% off, the rest at full price. Commission is 30%, or 35% from your 10th sale, plus $20 per customer after their 3rd paid month on Agency or above. Program defaults; excludes tax.
How to use the affiliate commission calculator
- Pick the plan. Choose the plan most of your audience would buy. Solo suits freelancers; Studio and above suit teams and agencies.
- Enter new customers a month. A realistic number of paying sign-ups from your link or code each month. Start low; you can always change it.
- Set cancellations. The share of paying customers who cancel each month. A few percent is common for small-business software.
- Choose how far to project. Six months to three years. Each customer earns commission for 12 months, so long projections level off.
- Decide on the monthly perk. If you give your customers the monthly perk (10–20% off their renewals; the calculator counts 10%), tick it: commission is on what they pay, so you share the cost.
Worked examples
Two Studio customers a month for a year, 3% cancelling monthly

Affiliate commission FAQ
- How do I calculate affiliate commission?
- Multiply what each customer pays by your commission rate, for every invoice the program pays commission on, and add any bonuses. For a recurring program, repeat that for each month a customer stays, then add up every customer you brought.
- What is recurring affiliate commission?
- Commission paid on every invoice a customer pays for a set period, not only on the first sale. It grows as you bring more customers, because earlier customers keep paying while you add new ones.
- Why does the total level off over long projections?
- Each customer earns you commission for 12 months. After that, customers who joined first stop adding to your monthly figure while new ones keep starting, so it settles at a steady level set by how many you bring each month.
- Are these the rates I will get?
- The calculator uses the SkedCast program defaults. Your partner dashboard shows the terms that apply to you, which may differ if we agreed other terms with you in writing.
- Does the calculator include tax or currency conversion?
- No. Commission is calculated on what customers pay excluding tax, in US dollars. Any withholding or conversion depends on your country and payout method.
- Does the calculator store my numbers?
- No. The calculation happens entirely in your browser as you type, and nothing is uploaded or saved.
