* calculated income is approximate since:

  • our commission is “per transaction”, not “per submission”. If each submission requires it’s own payment then the above will be accurate, however if you bundle submissions in 3 for 2 deals the transaction costs will be smaller than those quoted above.
  • our income calculations do not take into account any tax you may owe in the region you operate in.
  • this calculation does not include payment gateway fees which are variable depending on the payment method of the candidate.
