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

| Stage | USD/month |
|---|---|
| Gross storefront sales | $494 |
| After VAT / sales tax (-13% blended) | $429 |
| After refunds (-9.5% median) | $389 |
| Net to developer (after Steam 30%) | $272 |

## Monthly review counts, oldest to newest (18 months)

189, 197, 34, 48, 38, 28, 14, 15, 7, 14, 19, 12, 11, 10, 2, 8, 3, 5

## 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.
