Earnings calculator
Velvet's earnings calculator shows what you keep at your own monthly sales volume. Creators join free and pay one flat commission on what they sell, so the page works the sum through in full: sales in, Velvet's cut out, what is left over the month and over a year. Agencies still choose a plan, so for them the calculator compares every agency tier at the same volume.

MYM deducts 7% bank charges before its split, so 80% of paid content is 74.4% in hand. Subscriptions are 75% of the same remainder, a 30.3% cut.
Rates as published by each platform, checked September 15, 2026. Velvet is not affiliated with any of them.
Break-even
Every step up the ladder costs more each month and takes less of each sale. These are the monthly sales figures at which that trade turns profitable.
