Frequently asked questions
How much commission can I afford to pay affiliates?
Start from your gross profit per order, then subtract network fees and fixed costs per sale. The break-even commission shown here is the highest rate before each affiliate sale loses money.
What is a network override fee?
Many affiliate networks charge a fee on top of the commission you pay, often a percentage of it. Enter it so the true cost per sale is visible.
What is ROAS for affiliate programmes?
Return on ad spend: order value divided by what you paid to get the sale. A ROAS of 8 means €8 of revenue for every €1 of affiliate cost.
Should I include monthly platform fees?
Yes. Tracking software or network subscription fees are spread across your monthly affiliate sales to show the full cost per sale.
Is my data stored?
No. The calculator runs entirely in your browser.
