Is your AI revenue actually profitable?

Calculate the contribution profit left after refunds, payment fees, and AI model cost. Nothing is estimated or filled in for you.

Enter one period of real numbers

Use the same period and currency for every field.

Your margin starts with your numbers.

Complete the four fields to see net observed revenue, contribution profit, and contribution margin.

What this result means

AI contribution profit answers a narrower question than accounting profit: after refunds, payment processing, and model usage, how much product revenue remains? It deliberately excludes payroll, hosting, taxes, support, and other operating costs so the formula stays transparent.

Calculation method

Net revenue = gross revenue − refunds − payment processor fees. Contribution = net revenue − AI cost. Contribution margin = contribution ÷ net revenue × 100.

Worked example · synthetic

In one currency and reporting period: revenue 100 − refunds 5 − fees 3 = net revenue 92. Subtract AI cost 12 to get contribution 80, or 86.96% of net revenue. The currency selector only formats amounts; it never converts them.

This calculator has no model-price catalog: you supply actual AI cost. It is not net profit because unentered hosting, payroll, taxes and other expenses are excluded. If net revenue is zero or negative, the percentage is unavailable rather than divided by zero. Negative contribution remains negative. Missing costs are unknown, not zero.
