App Store & Google Play Commission Calculator

The calculator applies the published service-fee rates from Apple and Google to the price your customer pays. Every rate below is a store-published commission, cited in the Sources section. The commission is worked out on your developer proceeds — the listed price — using two steps.

Step 1 — pick the rate. For the Apple App Store: a subscription drops to 15% once the subscriber has completed one year of paid service, otherwise it is 30% in the first year; a one-time app or in-app purchase is 15% if you are in the Small Business Program (proceeds at or below US$1,000,000 last calendar year), otherwise 30%. For Google Play: subscriptions are 15% from day one; one-time and in-app purchases are 15% on your first US$1,000,000 of earnings each year and 30% above that.

Step 2 — do the arithmetic. With rate r:

• commission = price × r
• net (you keep) = price − commission
• take-home % = net ÷ price × 100

The net is verified two ways — as price − price × r and as price × (1 − r) — which must agree to sub-cent precision. For the annual projection the per-sale net is multiplied by your sales per month, then by 12: annual net = net × sales/month × 12. Local consumption taxes (VAT/GST) a store may collect on top of your price, FX spread and withdrawal fees are out of scope here — the Related tools below cover those.

• Apple — App Store Small Business Program (15% commission, ≤ US$1M proceeds)
• Apple — Auto-renewable subscriptions (30% year one, 15% after one year)
• Google Play Console Help — Service fees (15% first US$1M, 30% above)
• Google — 15% subscription service fee from day one

The commission rates on this page were last cross-checked against these official sources on 2026-07-12. They are reviewed whenever Apple or Google announces a change to its App Store or Play service fees.
