--- name: creator-revshare-economics description: "Use to model a creator collaboration's potential operator earnings after revenue shares, platform fees, refunds, taxes and operating hours, distinguishing scenario math from forecast." --- # Creator collaboration economics Define period, US dollars, retail price before taxes, customer count, refunds/chargebacks, sales tax treatment, platform/processing fees, extra costs, contract-defined share of NET receipts (only if agreement says so), payout timing, founder and creator hours. Do not assume Monetise marketing figure 'up to 30%' is a standard term or likely result. Formulas: gross = orders * price. Net receipts = gross - customer refunds - payment/platform fees - contract-permitted deductions (excluding sales taxes collected/remitted as appropriate). Operator share = net receipts * negotiated share. Operator operating margin = operator share - operator's variable costs - fixed costs. If fees refundable or taxes apply, adjust per actual rules. In scenario models illustrate zero, conservative and high order cases and amount of work required, not 'expected'. Compute break-even orders from positive contribution only; estimate hourly realized compensation. For example **illustrative only** $39 price × 50 sales × 80% net retention × 20% operator split = $312 before operator costs and taxes. No implied current demand. Model best/worst cash timing, payout delays, refunds and time commitment, with no more than $50 initial spend. Seek actual written split and real funnel data before a forecast. Gate payments/account eligibility with platform-and-compliance-check. Provide founder vs creator responsibilities and go/no-go condition.
