How much should you charge after fees?
To keep $1,800 after a 10% fee, charge $2,000. Adding 10% to your target leaves you short: the platform takes its share of the full invoice.
When do you need this calculation?
A client asks for a price. You know what you want to earn, but the platform will keep part of the payment. Write the target and fee on separate lines. When the terms change, one edit updates the quote.
What should the invoice be?
- A 10% fee leaves you with 90% of the invoice.
- Divide your target by that share: $1,800 / 0.9 = $2,000.
- Check the result: $2,000 - $200 = $1,800.

Why is a $1,980 invoice too small?
Adding 10% to $1,800 gives $1,980. The platform takes $198, leaving $1,782. That is $18 short. Divide by the share you keep to reverse the deduction.
What changes with a 15% fee?
Change the fee from 10% to 15% below. The invoice rises to $2,117.65 while the income target stays at $1,800. Check how your platform rounds the actual charge.
Which costs are missing?
This example includes one percentage fee on the full invoice. Add taxes, fixed charges and currency conversion separately. The figures are illustrative: enter your own target and platform terms.
