Mobile App Store Fee Calculator

A mobile app store fee calculator helps app developers calculate their net revenue after Apple App Store and Google Play Store commissions. Both stores charge a standard 30% commission on paid app downloads, in-app purchases, and subscription payments. Apple offers a reduced 15% rate through the App Store Small Business Program (for developers earning under $1M/year), and Google offers a similar reduced rate on the first $1M of revenue. The calculator shows you exactly how much you keep from each sale after store commissions and payment processing fees, and helps you determine the right price to hit your target net revenue.

Enter your app or subscription price, the number of paid downloads or subscribers per month, and select the store (Apple, Google, or both for side-by-side comparison). Choose whether you qualify for the reduced 15% commission (small business program) or the standard 30% rate. The calculator instantly computes the gross revenue, store commission (15% or 30%), payment processing fee (typically 1.5-2.9% + $0.30 depending on the store), your net revenue per sale, total net revenue per month, and annual projection. The reverse calculator mode tells you what price to set to achieve a specific net revenue target after all fees.

Both stores charge a standard 30% commissionon paid apps, in-app purchases, and subscription payments (after the first year for subscriptions on Apple, which drops to 15% after 12 months). Apple's App Store Small Business Programreduces the commission to 15% for developers earning up to $1M in proceeds per year. Google's service fee reduction offers 15% on the first $1M of revenue earned through Google Play each year. Beyond $1M, the standard 30% rate applies. Payment processing fees also differ: Apple processes payments through its own system with a flat commission, while Google uses Google Payments with additional processing fees. Our calculator models all these differences for an accurate comparison.

Understanding your net revenue after store commissions is essential for setting the right app price. A $0.99 app at 30% commission gives you only $0.69 per download. At 15%, you keep $0.84. For subscription apps, the difference is even more significant over time. Our calculator includes a reverse price feature: enter your target net revenue per download or per month, and it tells you exactly what price to set on each store to hit that goal. This is especially useful when comparing the price difference needed to maintain the same net revenue across Apple and Google stores.
