App Store & Google Play Fee Calculator

Both Apple and Google operate a tiered commission model: 15% for developers earning up to $1,000,000 annually under their respective Small Business Programs, 30% for earnings exceeding $1M, and a reduced 15% rate for auto-renewing subscriptions after year one.
