    Apple and Google take a percentage of every paid download, in-app purchase and subscription made through their billing. The percentage depends on how much you earn, what you sell, and for Google Play, where your customers are.

    Apple App Store

    • 30% standard commission on paid apps and in-app purchases.
    • 15% for members of the App Store Small Business Program (developers earning up to $1 million a year), which you have to apply for.
    • 15% on subscriptions once a subscriber has been paying for more than a year, or from day one for Small Business Program members.

    Google Play

    • Since 30 June 2026 in the US, UK and EEA, Google splits its charge into a service fee and a 5% billing fee if you use Google Play Billing. One-time purchases pay 10% + 5% on your first $1 million a year, and 20% + 5% above that for new installs (25% + 5% for existing ones).
    • Subscriptions pay 10% + 5% = 15% at any size.
    • Other regions move to the new structure between late 2026 and 2027. Until then it's 15% on the first $1 million, 30% above it, and 15% on subscriptions.

    The formula

    store fee = sales × fee rate
    you keep = sales − store fee

    Worked example

    A $4.99 app selling 1,000 copies a month earns $4,990 a month ($59,880 a year). At 15% on both stores the fee is $748.50 a month, so you keep $4,241.50, or $4.24 per sale.

    Enter prices before sales tax or VAT, because the stores take tax out first. This calculator uses headline rates checked on 9 October 2026 and leaves out special programmes, alternative billing and regional deals such as the EU's Digital Markets Act terms.
