Description

Calculate a crowdfunding fee line and net raised amount.

Venture calculations depend on funding scope, fee bases, repayment terms, equity conventions and reporting periods. A post-money investor fraction differs from a pre-money valuation ratio, while constant-burn runway is conditional on a positive burn assumption. Interview consent and reported hypothesis support remain source-record assertions rather than verified evidence.

Calculate a crowdfunding fee line and net raised amount.

When to use this tool

Use Crowdfunding Platform Fee Line when you already have grossRaised, suppliedFeeFraction, fixedFee and need to calculate a crowdfunding fee line and net raised amount.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter grossRaised, suppliedFeeFraction, fixedFee. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read totalFee, netRaised. Use the output convention below.

Require grossRaised/fixedFee>=0 and fee fraction in [0,1]; totalFee=gross*fraction+fixed, net=gross*(1-fraction)-fixed.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • Net may be negative when fixed fees exceed proceeds. No platform schedule, tax, settlement or actual payment obligation is selected.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
  • Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Reconcile the actual cash-flow forecast, financing agreement, cap table and experiment records for a venture decision. Use the full vesting and funding terms and inspect evidence quality; one balance, status label or supplied fraction does not establish feasibility, ownership or customer demand.
