Apple offers a 15% commission rate through two entirely separate mechanisms. The Small Business Program gives any qualifying developer 15% on every transaction from day one, regardless of purchase type. Separately, standard (non-program) developers automatically drop from 30% to 15% on a specific subscriber's auto-renewing subscription once that subscriber has remained subscribed for more than 12 consecutive months, a rule that applies subscriber by subscriber, not account-wide.
Developers who earned up to $1 million in App Store proceeds in the prior calendar year, plus brand-new developers, can enroll in the Small Business Program for the flat 15% rate. If a developer's proceeds cross $1 million during the current year, Apple applies the standard 30% rate for the remainder of that year, and re-qualification for 15% is possible the following year if proceeds fall back under the threshold.
This tool models Apple's standard worldwide commission structure only. It does not calculate the separate, often lower rates available to developers who adopt the EU's Digital Markets Act alternative business terms, which involve a different fee structure entirely, or any applicable taxes on the transaction.
