Repo access cost calculator
Pick two ways of selling access to a private GitHub repository, enter your price and volume, and see what each costs you per month and per year, whether it takes sellers from your country, and who files the sales tax. Every fee comes from the provider's own pricing page, with the date it was read.

Stripe + RepoAccess Core leaves you $481 more a year.
Stripe + RepoAccess Core leaves the sales tax to you, so its figure is before any VAT or sales tax you owe on these sales. Polar files it for you.
Sales minus refunds minus the costs above, before income tax.
Fees are read from each provider's own pages; the date sits beside each figure. Payouts count as one a month to a bank in your country, and currency conversion as applying to international cards. A fee a provider does not publish as a single figure is listed under Not counted rather than guessed.
