Revenue-share calculator · Built for software platforms
Estimate what your platform earns from payments.
Dial in your monthly processing volume and see the revenue share your platform receives. Pulse handles every part of the payments business — your software earns a share of the net revenue on every transaction your merchants run.
Step 01 · Your platform
Tell us about your volume.
Model assumptions
- Net payments revenue ≈ 0.71% of volume (blended across interchange, fees, markup)
- Partner revenue share = 35% of net payments revenue
- Average per merchant ≈ $209/mo
Step 02 · Your earnings
Here's what your platform earns.
How we calculate this
- Net payments revenue: approximately 0.71% of processing volume, blended across interchange, processor fees, and platform markup. Actual rate varies by card mix, ticket size, and vertical.
- Partner revenue share: 35% of net payments revenue flows to your platform under the standard Pulse partner agreement. No software fees are charged against this amount.
- Effective rate: 0.71% × 35% ≈ 0.25% of gross volume. At $18.4M/mo this yields approximately $45,990/mo.
- Settlement: revenue share is settled monthly on a fixed cycle (e.g., Cycle 10 settling the 1st of each month) with full MID-level rollup reporting in your Pulse dashboard.
Indicative estimates only. Actual revenue share varies by processor mix, merchant vertical, card-present vs. card-not-present split, and contractual terms. Pulse will validate these numbers against your specific platform during onboarding.
