About AfterFees

AfterFees answers one question: you charged X — what do you actually keep? Every calculator here takes a sale price or an invoice amount and works out what lands in your bank account after platform fees, payment processing, and tax.

Who runs this

AfterFees is built and maintained by Ghanashyam D Raj, Founder and maintainer, AfterFees.

Independent, ad-free calculators that show what a sale, invoice, or paycheck actually nets after fees and tax — every rate cited to its source and dated, every calculation shown in full. See the disclaimer for what this site is and isn't.

Where the numbers come from

Every fee rate and tax figure on this site is stored in a versioned data file with a source URL, an effective date, and the date a human last checked it against that source. Those three facts are printed at the bottom of every calculator page. If a figure has not been verified since the platform last changed its rates, the page says so rather than quietly showing a stale number.

Fee schedules come from the platforms' own published pages — Amazon Seller Central, Etsy's fees and payments policy, eBay's selling fees page, Shopify's pricing page, and the processors' public rate cards. Tax figures come from the IRS revenue procedure for the relevant tax year, the Social Security Administration's wage base announcement, and each state's revenue department.

How this site is maintained

Fee schedules change without much warning, and tax tables change every year. The build refuses to publish a rate file that has no source URL or effective date, which is a small guardrail against the most common way calculator sites rot. Tax data is replaced annually — the tables for a given year are published the previous autumn, and this site is updated when they are.

How it makes money

Display advertising, and affiliate commissions on software that sellers and freelancers use. Affiliate links are marked as such wherever they appear. They have no effect on the numbers any calculator produces, and no advertiser has any input into the fee or tax data.

What this site will not do

No signup, no email wall, no "unlock the full result" gate. Every calculator runs entirely in your browser: the figures you type never leave your device and are never sent to a server, because there is no server. That is also why the tools keep working if you lose your connection after the page has loaded.

Corrections

If a number here disagrees with what a platform actually charged you, the platform is right and this site is wrong. Use the report button on the contact page with the discrepancy and it will be fixed and re-dated.
