0%-30% is applied on the item price, the item price is list price minus the buyer fee. Or in other words, it’s applied on 80% of the price you see on the item page if the item is not on Graphicriver.

If the sale of a $43 item is to a US buyer and the author is exclusive and has sold less than $3,750, and his country doesn’t have tax treaty with the USA (30%), here is how you calculate the net earnings:

  1. Take 20% of the list price as a buyer fee $43 * 80% = $34.4. (this is the item price)
  2. Apply US RWHT on the item price $34.4 * %30 = $10.32 to the IRS.
  3. 37.5% of the item price $34.4 * 37.5% = $12.9 as author fee to Envato.
  4. Give the IRS and Envato their shares from the item price $34.4 - ($10.32 + $12.9) = $11.18 your net earnings.
