Calculating your income
When you sell an item on Envato Market, the total purchase price is made up of your item price plus Envato’s fee to the buyer. Buyer fees are either calculated as a % of the item price or are set at a fixed amount. Fixed buyer fee amounts apply to categories where authors set the price themselves. See our help center for more details. You’ll earn your item price minus any Envato author fees. Those author fees are dependent on whether you sell exclusively and your all-time sales to date. The more you sell, the more you’ll make.
Non-Exclusive Authors
Our author fee to non-exclusive authors is 55% of the item price. So for example when an item sells for $100 the breakdown of fees looks like this:
$20 buyer fee
$80 item price

Exclusive Authors
Our author fee to exclusive authors is between 12.5%-37.5% of the item price. So for example when an item sells for $100 the breakdown of fees looks like this:
$20 buyer fee
$80 item price

Example $100 item
- buyer fee - $20
- item price - $80
Net Author Earnings for exclusive authors will adjust according to your earnings amount.
With total cumulative sales of $38,000 your Net Author Earning on a $100 item would be $60.

Supporting your item
Supporting your items is not a requirement of Envato Market, but some buyers tend to have questions about the item and require assistance. If you choose to offer support for your item, you’ll earn any sales of support extensions minus a standard author fee of 30%. There is no buyer fee associated with support extensions.
Read the item support policy for what it means to support your buyers and visit the Help Centre to learn how item support pricing works.
Envato Elite
The best of the best authors make it into Envato’s Elite program. If you’re a high flier you can look forward to exciting rewards ranging from advertising, care packs, extra marketing, and eventually maybe even a trip to space.
