1. Informational Purpose Only

All calculations, charts, and country-level breakdowns generated by the Global App & SaaS Revenue Simulator (“the Service”) are provided strictly for educational and planning purposes. The Service is designed to help software developers develop rough intuition about the interaction between platform commissions, consumption taxes, and withholding taxes — not to produce authoritative accounting figures.

2. Not Tax, Legal, or Financial Advice

The information presented by the Service does not constitute tax advice, legal advice, accounting advice, investment advice, or professional consultation of any kind. No attorney-client, accountant-client, or fiduciary relationship is created by your use of the Service. Before making any decision that has financial, tax, or legal consequences — including pricing strategy, market entry, entity structuring, or Small Business Program enrollment — you should consult a qualified tax advisor, certified public accountant, or attorney licensed in the relevant jurisdiction.

3. Data Accuracy & Freshness

Tax rates and platform commission schedules are sourced from publicly available documentation as of the “Last updated” date, but they change frequently and without notice. Apple, Google, Stripe, and PayPal may adjust commission rates, transaction fees, or geographic coverage at any time. National and sub-national tax authorities may enact new VAT/GST rates, digital services taxes, or withholding regimes on short timelines. We make no warranty that the rates embedded in the calculator reflect the current state of any specific jurisdiction on the date of your calculation.

4. Calculation Simplifications

To keep the model tractable, the Service applies several simplifying assumptions that may not match your real-world situation:

• Gross sales are divided evenly across selected target markets, which rarely reflects actual geographic distribution.
• Bilateral tax treaties, foreign tax credits, and permanent establishment considerations are not modeled.
• Currency conversion, foreign exchange fees, and platform-specific rounding rules are ignored.
• Chargebacks, refunds, promotional pricing, and family sharing revenue splits are not considered.
• Corporate income tax, employment taxes, and other post-net-revenue obligations are outside the scope of this tool.

5. Platform Trademarks

“App Store”, “iTunes”, and “Apple” are trademarks of Apple Inc. “Google Play” and “Google” are trademarks of Google LLC. “Stripe” is a trademark of Stripe, Inc. “PayPal” is a trademark of PayPal Holdings, Inc. This Service is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or associated with any of these companies. All trademark references are nominative and used solely to identify the platforms being modeled.

6. No Guarantee of Outcomes

Any financial projections, margin estimates, or market comparisons produced by the Service are hypothetical. They should not be interpreted as forecasts of actual business performance. Real revenue outcomes depend on numerous factors — including product-market fit, marketing spend, competitive dynamics, refund rates, and regulatory changes — that no calculator can capture.

7. Assumption of Risk

By using the Service, you acknowledge that any decisions you make based on its output are made entirely at your own risk. The site operator shall not be held liable for any tax underpayments, missed filing obligations, business losses, or other consequences arising from reliance on the calculator's figures. When in doubt, verify directly with the platform's current developer documentation and the tax authority of the relevant jurisdiction.
