The affiliate revenue split is calculated from the subtotal after tax and Paddle fee. You can find a simple example in the full article.

How is Affiliate revenue split and calculated?

<p>For the purpose of this example we assume a UK seller that charges VAT as part of the total order amount on a Paddle Affiliate order. </p>
<p><strong>Example Calculations:</strong></p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Step</th>
<th>Amount ($)</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><strong>Total order amount</strong></td>
<td>120</td>
<td>The total amount charged in the order.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Product amount</strong></td>
<td>100</td>
<td>Because VAT is included in the price, the cost of the plan works out to $100.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>VAT</strong></td>
<td>20</td>
<td>Of the $100, the VAT for UK is 20%</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Paddle fee</strong></td>
<td>6.5</td>
<td>From the total ($120) we calculate our fee</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Subtotal</strong></td>
<td>93.5</td>
<td>We take our fee and VAT leaving $93.5</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Affiliate commission</strong></td>
<td>28.05</td>
<td>We then give the specified commission to the affiliate (in this example 30% of the subtotal)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Paddle affiliate fee</strong></td>
<td>4.67</td>
<td>We then take an extra 5% affiliate fee (beyond the normal fee, for using the affiliate app)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Seller revenue</strong></td>
<td>60.77</td>
<td>The remaining 65% goes to the seller.</td>
</tr>
