The formula

Deducted model: tutor receives listed rate x (1 - fee) - fixed fee. Added model: student pays listed rate x (1 + fee) + fixed fee.

Questions

Tutoring Platform Fee Calculator FAQ

Why are there two fee models?

Some platforms subtract commission from tutor earnings, while others add a service charge to the student-facing price. The financial effect is different.

Can this model payment processing fees?

Yes. Add the percentage and fixed per-lesson charge shown by your payment provider or tutoring platform.

Are platform fee rates kept automatically up to date?

No. Fee structures can change and may vary by tutor, plan, or lesson history, so enter the current rate published for your account.
