Sharing profit rather than revenue aligns both sides but requires agreeing what counts as a cost. Put the cost definitions in the contract — that is where every one of these arrangements goes wrong.
How the Creator Revenue Share Calculator works
A 20% share of revenue can be half the actual profit on a thin-margin product. Revenue shares are simpler to agree and considerably more expensive than they look, which is why the base of the calculation matters more than the percentage.

Frequently asked questions
Should a creator share be on revenue or profit?
Profit aligns both sides but requires agreeing what counts as a cost. Revenue is simpler and shifts all the cost risk to you — fine on high margins, punishing on low ones.
What share is typical?
It ranges from 5% to 30% of revenue depending on how much the creator brings. A creator whose audience is the entire demand deserves more than one lending a name to an existing product.
What should the contract define?
The base, the costs deductible from it, the reporting cadence, and what happens to unsold stock. The last one is where collaborations most often end badly.
Who funds the inventory?
Usually the brand, which is another reason profit share is fairer — the party carrying the working capital risk should not also carry the full cost risk.
