Affiliate commission calculator
See how earning periods, retention and payout thresholds affect a scenario. Compare two offers on the same inputs, or start with one reviewed program.
These example numbers are not measured traffic, product prices or expected earnings.
Your assumptions
New qualifying referrals arrive every month. The first eligible payment happens in that month.
Your projection
- Gross commissions
- $3,325.12
- Balance after fee budget

- First threshold crossing
- Month 2
This is a balance milestone, not a payment date. Approval, active-referral requirements, holds and the provider schedule can delay or prevent withdrawal.

Only the base 12-month offer is modelled. Later tier-dependent rewards are excluded.
Research offer AThe threshold is left blank because the FAQ and agreement disagree. Active-referral and other eligibility requirements still apply.
Research offer BSame audience assumptions
Both offers use the same qualifying referrals, eligible customer bill, retention and horizon. These are assumptions, not measured performance or actual product prices.
Reviewed offers use USD. Selecting one labels all amounts as USD; it does not convert their values. Both offers each receive the full hypothetical audience. This does not model splitting traffic between them.

A has $2,216.74 more modelled commission over 12 months.
No cumulative commission lead change within this horizon. This compares commissions after reversals; fees and opening balances affect the balance figures separately.
A larger scenario amount is not a product recommendation. Real prices, audience fit, attribution, approval and promotion rules can differ. Threshold crossings are balance milestones, not payment dates. No withdrawals or payment holds are simulated.

An approved affiliate refers a new, genuine paying customer. Two active paying referrals are also required for payout; self-referrals do not qualify.

FAQ describes Friday settlements after a 30-day hold. Terms allow processing within 45 days after eligibility and additional review delays. Friday settlement is not a guaranteed arrival date.

FAQ: $100 USD minimum and two distinct sales. Terms: balance must exceed $100 and two active paying customers. The exact $100 boundary needs clarification.

A 30-day hold applies. Refunds, chargebacks and invalid referrals can reverse commissions, including deductions from future payouts after payment.

Recurring commissions
Each monthly cohort earns on its eligible bill. In later months, customers are multiplied by your retention assumption, until their earning period ends. For example, 10 new customers become 9 in the next month at 90% retention; a new cohort of 10 is added separately.
One-time rewards
New qualifying referrals × fixed reward, once in each referral month. This model does not assume recurring customer payments. Reversals reduce the estimated commission in the month it is earned.
A threshold is a balance rule
Opening approved balance + projected commissions after reversals − the assumed first-withdrawal fee budget. This model assumes commissions are validated when earned; actual approval and payout holds are not simulated.
What does comparing two offers tell me?
It isolates the modelled effect of commission terms using the same number of qualifying referrals, eligible spend, retention and horizon. Each offer receives the full hypothetical audience; traffic is not split between them. Actual product prices, audience fit, conversion, attribution and eligibility can differ. The larger scenario amount is not a recommendation or measured performance. Opening balances and fee assumptions affect balances separately from the cumulative commission comparison.
Why are some preset thresholds blank?
An unknown minimum or conflicting public documents cannot supply a reliable numeric value. You can enter a value from your approved offer as an explicit assumption. A blank field does not mean zero.
Does this predict my revenue?
No. These are hypothetical monthly cohorts, not measured conversion or retention. Customer counts can be fractional expected values. Monthly totals are rounded to two decimal places. Product prices, taxes, annual billing, upgrades, attribution losses and later commission tiers are not inferred.
When will the money arrive?
The calculator does not establish an arrival date. Provider approval, holds, country-specific payment access, required active referrals and processing rules remain separate. Read the linked program evidence before relying on a scenario.
