About App Store Fee Calculator

Commission is a straight percentage of gross revenue; small business programmes cap it at 15% for developers below the annual revenue threshold. Dropping from 30% to 15% raises net revenue by more than a fifth, which is why the qualification threshold is worth watching as revenue grows.
