Is there a way to know how much portion I got from payout?

Hi! Thanks for clicking. I received some generous donations to my game earlier (the last one is 50 days ago), and I'm not sure how are the payouts calculated. I have deducted the taxes and the revenue sharing, but the available payout is still lower than it. So is the payouts page showing the final amount of donations I got? Or is there something else apart from taxes and revenue sharing? Thanks in advance!

Also, can I still adjust the revenue sharing after such a long time? Might raise it a little bit higher because this is just a very great platform.

As far as I’m aware, the payout should be 30% for taxes (unless you are in a country with a treaty, in which case it is lowered) and 10% (default) for Itch. I’m not aware of any extra charges, but I don’t know if donations are treated the same as actual payments. Could your payment method be charging something extra?

Also, can I still adjust the revenue sharing after such a long time? Might raise it a little bit higher because this is just a very great platform.

You should be able to change the revenue at any point without any issue. To do that go to “Account Settings” -> “Publisher” -> “Revenue sharing”. There you can adjust a slider for what percentage to give to Itch. I’m not sure if this happens at the moment of a purchase, or once you request a payout.

Ah, I see it now! I was afraid to click the initiate payout button, but after I clicked it everything just comes out haha! There are also fees for payment processing and adjustments, but not high. Thanks for telling me!

Hiya there!

For each payout on the payout page, there should be a link to view more details around it; 'Payout Details'.

There you'll see all the different adjustments that go into the payout amount before it's sent to you. Such as tax, itch'io's cut, payment processor fees, and then a bunch of additional things that could potentially be affecting things, such as chargebacks, refunds and the additional payout fee.

Hopefully that'll help to get to the bottom of things regarding any potential deductions!

I see! It's actually more detailed than I have thought, I was just too afraid to click the initiate payout button XD Yea there are some tiny stuffs that take parts of the revenue as well. Thank you for letting me know!
