FAQ
What's regional price averaging?
Selling in markets with lower purchasing power means your blended realized price sits below the US list price, often by 10–20%.
Do store cuts ever drop?
Some storefronts reduce the cut above revenue thresholds, and others run lower base rates to attract developers. Adjust the input to model yours.
Accuracy and limitations
- Results are estimates before tax, fees, and inflation unless an input explicitly covers them.
- Rates are treated as fixed for the whole period — variable-rate products will drift from this projection.
- This is educational maths, not financial advice. Check anything contractual with the lender or your accountant.
