Refund Amount = Gross Sales × Refund Rate
Sales After Refunds = Gross Sales − Refund Amount
Discount Amount = Sales After Refunds × Discount Rate
Qualified Sales = Sales After Refunds − Discount Amount
Percentage Commission = Qualified Sales × Affiliate Rate

Base Commission depends on the chosen model:
Override Amount = Base Commission × Override Rate
Commission Subtotal = Base Commission + Override Amount + Bonus Amount
Network Fee Amount = (Commission Subtotal × Network Fee Rate) + Fixed Platform Fee
Tax Withholding = Commission Subtotal × Tax Rate
Total Affiliate Cost = Commission Subtotal + Network Fee Amount + Tax Withholding
Net Revenue After Fees = Qualified Sales − Total Affiliate Cost
Effective Fee Rate = (Total Affiliate Cost ÷ Gross Sales) × 100
