How this calculation works
This scenario counts expected orders, removes the assumed fully reversed share and applies a constant average eligible order value and commission rate. It then subtracts your costs. Actual attribution, approval and reversal rules must come from the relevant programme.
Net = clicks × conversion × (1−reversals) × eligible order value × commission − costsA worked example
2,000 clicks at 2% conversion gives 40 orders. After 10% reversals, 36 orders at 1,000 and 5% commission yield 1,800; subtracting 500 costs leaves 1,300.
Good to know
A transparent arithmetic model using your inputs. Example prices, rates and multiples are demonstrations, not benchmarks or offers. No tax, exchange-rate conversion, live account access or automatic attribution is supplied. Monetary display is rounded; calculations retain additional precision.
Clicks, orders and payable orders are different stages
The conversion assumption translates referred clicks into expected orders. The reversal assumption then removes the share whose commission is fully reversed. Applying the average eligible order value and commission percentage gives the remaining gross commission scenario.
The average eligible value may differ from a displayed cart total if a programme excludes certain items or fees. Enter a value consistent with the commission agreement rather than assuming every part of an order is commissionable.
Keep acquisition cost and payout timing separate
Subtracting acquisition costs helps distinguish commission revenue from modeled contribution. A campaign can produce approved commissions and still lose money after those costs.
A payable amount is not necessarily cash available immediately. Approval windows, attribution changes, partial refunds, withheld commissions and payment thresholds are not modeled. The refund input here assumes a full reversal for the selected share of orders.
A few questions, answered
Can order counts be fractional?
The output is an expected count from a conversion scenario. Actual individual orders are whole events.
Is the commission rate supplied by the tool?
No. You enter the applicable or hypothetical rate; the calculator does not verify a programme’s terms.
