Your "gross pay" is never what hits your bank account. Hidden costs like platform fees (5-50%) and currency conversion (2-4%) create significant revenue leakage. This tool shows your actual take-home pay so you can plan accurately.
π‘ Why Your Take-Home Pay Matters More Than Your Gross Income
Most platform earners focus on what they earn before feesβthe number platforms want you to see. But your actual take-home pay is what pays your rent, feeds your family, and funds your future.

This tool is built for creators wondering what they actually keep after YouTube's 45% cut, gig drivers calculating real earnings after Uber's fees, freelancers comparing Upwork's 10% to Fiverr's 20%, and any platform earner who's ever been surprised by how much less hits their bank account than their dashboard shows.

Step 2: Enter your monthly gross revenue.
Step 3: Choose your currency.
Step 4: Toggle currency conversion on or off.

Frequently Asked Questions
QWhat counts as a platform fee in this calculator?
The percentage β or flat fee, for platforms like Stan Store β that a platform deducts from your gross earnings before payout, ranging from about 3% up to 50% depending on which platform you select.
QDoes this calculator include withdrawal or transaction fees?
Only where we've verified a platform actually charges one. Select Uber/Lyft or Upwork and a "transaction fee" toggle appears automatically. Both are off by default since they only apply if you choose that specific payout method.
QWhy does this calculator include a currency conversion toggle?
If you're paid in a different currency than you bank in, currency conversion typically adds another 2-4% cost on top of the platform fee. Toggling it on shows that combined impact.
QDoes this calculator account for taxes?
No. It isolates platform fees and currency conversion only. Income tax and self-employment tax are separate and depend on your total annual income and country of residence. Use the Tax Deadline Clock to track estimated payment dates.
QIs there a version of this calculator for a specific platform?
Want to know exactly when a platform's payout lands, not just how much of it you keep? Each one below is a dedicated payout calendar for that platform alone.
