Gumroad Fee Calculator
See a creator's take-home from Gumroad sales once the service fee and payment processing are subtracted — for one sale or a batch.
Gumroad's fee is a flat % of each sale plus payment processing. Whether creators use the "you pay" or "customer pays processing" toggle changes the split — rates change, so verify against Gumroad's current pricing.
Gumroad charges a service fee per sale (commonly 10%) and payment processing (roughly 2.9% + $0.30) applies. Depending on your settings the processing may land on the creator or be added to the buyer's price. The defaults above are the common "creator absorbs processing" view.
How Gumroad fees work
Gumroad takes a flat 10% fee on each sale, and payment processing (about 2.9% + $0.30) is charged on top — the 10% does not include it. No listing fees — you pay only when you sell. Gumroad handles checkout, delivery, tax collection, and customer support for digital products.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Gumroad take per sale?
A flat 10% service fee plus payment processing of about 2.9% + $0.30 per sale. So a $15 sale nets about $12.77 after roughly $2.24 in combined fees.
Can I make buyers pay the processing fee?
Gumroad offers settings affecting whether processing is covered by you or passed to the buyer — which is exactly why you can dial the fee fields above.

How to verify this calculator
- Last verified
- — the calculation logic and the automated regression suite were re-run on this date. Fee and rate fields are editable estimates; confirm current values against the official schedule before relying on them.
- Official / methodology source
- This is a platform fee estimator. Its calculation is documented in the project source; we could not confirm the platform's official pricing/help page was reachable on 2026-11-08, so we do not publish an unverified link. Current fees: confirm the live rate on the platform's own pricing or help page before relying on this estimate. We deliberately do not link to a page we could not confirm as reachable on 2026-11-08.
- Method & testing
- All arithmetic runs locally in your browser — no input is uploaded. Calculation behaviour is exercised by the repository's regression suite: 39/39 checks passed (run 2026-11-08). Source & tests on GitHub.
