Percentage taken on movies/gallery pics?

[sultryshelley]

Hi Admin

Can someone please clarify the percentage cut that it taken on movie clips and private gallery sales please?

I was under the impression it was 36% as this is what is written on your site in the "how to calculate pay" section and also this makes sense as there is no 5% just cam fee on these.

However, I was working out my pay today and it was just over £1 short. However, when I charged my movie clip sales at a rate of 41% instead of 36% it worked out to exactly what I received in my account.

Out of interest (and too much time on my hands!) I went back over the last few days when I have also sold movie/gallery pics and did the sums for them too. I checked sales from the the 12th September and then the 5th, 7th and 8th as well. In all instances, the funds I received in my account tallied with a fee of 41% being applied to my movie/gallery pics. When I changed the rate to 36% for movie/gallery, pay was very slightly short on all these days. We are only talking a pound or so on each occasion so nothing major, but it does add up over time so I thought I had better check what percentage is meant to be charged?

If it is now 41% then if you can let me know that would be great as I may have missed an announcement on this. However if it is meant to still be 36% I thought I should make you aware of this in case someone at your end is not aware and is charging an incorrect rate in error.

Many thanks

Hi, I just checked your account for today's earnings and everything is correct our end. Content percentage is 36%, it hasn't changed. Your pay for today was spot on. I will be happy to breakdown your earnings for you and check any dates that you would like checked.

Thanks

Thank you Annabelle

Yes, if you could confirm how you work things out that would be great, as I just can't seem to make it add up when I charge the movie clips at 36%.

Here is what I am doing and this is in relation to yesterday the 12th September:

Direct cam earnings of 325.17 minus Direct cam positioning fees of 16.06 = 309.11 minus 41% = £182.37

Movie clips: 16.16 minus 36% = £10.34

Add the two together = £192.71

Amount received in bank account is £191.91

Difference = £0.80

As I say, it is not a huge amount, but I can't see where I am going wrong in my calculations, so if you can let me know it would be appreciated as I like to be able to work things out accurately, so if I am doing something wrong it would be good to know what.

Many thanks

Hi, I understand it is only a small amount that adds up. Your calculations are correct until you get to your direct cam positioning fees. We always take this off the 36% earnings.

Here's how it was worked out below:

Content (gallery, movies etc) 16.16 - 16.06 (DC frees) = 0.10.

0.10-36%= 0.06p

Directcam - 325.17 - 41% = £191.85.

£195.85 + 0.06p = £191.91 profit.

Thanks

Ahh, thank you for clarifying that.

I presumed that direct cam positioning came off the direct cam earnings rather than off movie clip earnings, my mistake

Thank for for clearing that up all makes sense now!
