Frequently asked questions
How is the affiliate program ROI calculated?
ROI is calculated as (net affiliate revenue minus total costs) divided by total costs (commissions + platform fee). The calculator uses your inputs to estimate how many new customers affiliates would bring and the resulting revenue, then subtracts commission payouts and Komissio's $49/month platform fee.
What commission rate should I offer affiliates?
Most SaaS affiliate programs offer 20-30% recurring commission. Higher rates attract better affiliates but reduce margins. Start at 20% and increase if you need to attract more partners. The calculator lets you model different rates to find your sweet spot.
How long until an affiliate program becomes profitable?
Most SaaS affiliate programs break even within 1-3 months thanks to the performance-based model: you only pay commissions on actual conversions. The payback period shown in the calculator accounts for both commission costs and the Komissio platform fee.
