## Where a gross dollar goes (monthly, at current velocity)

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $1.6k |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $1.4k |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $1.3k |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $877 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (23 months)

231, 26, 73, 13, 12, 17, 4, 7, 29, 11, 12, 6, 4, 6, 2, 7, 9, 1, 6, 10, 9, 5, 5

## Estimated acquisition range

$21.0k to $42.1k (2-4x the trailing net annuity of $10.5k/year). Same error range applies.

## Methodology

Units are estimated from Steam-purchase reviews times a release-cohort multiplier (Boxleiter method, 20-75x by year). Revenue uses an effective price (lifetime discounts and regional pricing) and nets out VAT (~13%), refunds (~9.5%) and Steam's 30% cut: roughly 55% of gross reaches the developer.
