# Fees

### How we get these data

Fees data is gathered from Transaction records to support precise financial tracking and transparent business management.

### Understand the dashboard

Fee is the total costs that the Developer must pay or be deducted before receiving money into the bank account. Fee structure includes:

* **Revenue Share:** Revenue share paid to Shopify.
* **Operational Fees:** Transaction processing fees or registration fees (if any).
* **Taxes:** Taxes applied according to local laws (VAT/GST) that Shopify collects on behalf or the Developer must pay.

**Shopify Fee Policy (Latest Policy)**

According to the latest regulations (applied to Shopify App Store):

* **0% Revenue Share:** For the first $1,000,000 USD revenue earned each calendar year (annually).
* **15% Revenue Share:** Applied to revenue exceeding $1,000,000 in that year.
* **Registration Fee:** $19 USD (paid once when creating a Partner account, usually not counted in monthly operational metrics).

Where Revenue Share is calculated cumulatively by year (Year-to-date):

* If Total Revenue (YTD) <= $1,000,000: Revenue Share = 0.
* If Total Revenue (YTD) > $1,000,000: Revenue Share = 15% \* (Revenue of this month). Note: This logic needs to reset to 0 on January 01 every year.

The “Total Fee” chart visualizes the daily fluctuations of your total fees over the selected time period (Day, Week, Month), with a percentage comparison against the previous 31-day period, helping you monitor cost trends relative to revenue.

### How Fees data can benefit you
