What 20% of a Subscription Pays at US Prices: The Commission on Every Plan

The Nutrola creator code pays 20% of the subscription price the subscriber actually paid. This is the complete table of what that means at US prices, on discounted prices, on local prices in other countries, and on trials. Understanding these numbers is the foundation for calculating what a code pays you over time.

What does 20% pay on the US plans?

The Nutrola code pays the same percentage for every creator who has one. At US prices, that translates to specific dollar amounts per payment. These amounts are what each subscriber's payment converts to.

Subscriber's plan	You receive per payment	Frequency	Annual example
US yearly: $39.99	$8.00	Every year the subscription renews	One subscriber pays you $8.00 once per year
US monthly: $9.99	$2.00	Every month it rebills	One subscriber pays you $2.00 once per month, $24.00 per year if they stay

The same 20% rate applies to every creator who has a code. There is no negotiation on the rate itself; it is set by Nutrola at 20% for everyone. Apple takes their cut and tax comes off before the money reaches Nutrola; the 20% is of the price after tax and platform fees are subtracted.

This is why a monthly subscriber who stays a full year is worth more than a yearly subscriber: two monthly payments at $2.00 each equal $24.00 per year versus one yearly payment at $8.00. The opposite is true on the payout side: yearly subscribers require fewer payments to hit the same annual payout, and their retention patterns are often more stable.

What about discounted and local prices?

The code pays 20% of whatever the subscriber actually paid, regardless of the price where they live or whether they purchased on sale. That means the commission scales with the price in that region. A sale price, a local-market price, or a currency-adjusted price all matter: you earn 20% of what that subscriber paid, not 20% of the US price.

Subscriber's plan and price	You receive per payment	Why it varies
US yearly on sale: $29.99 (example)	$6.00	20% of the sale price, lower than the list price
Yearly plan in a lower-income country: $20 (example)	$4.00	20% of the local price set for that market
Yearly plan in a higher-income country: $50 (example)	$10.00	20% of the price set for that region
Monthly plan discounted to $7.99: example	$1.60	20% of the discounted monthly rate

Every subscriber pays a price set by Nutrola for their country and device. The 20% is always of that price, not of the US price. This is important when you are thinking about international audiences: a creator in a market where the app's subscription is cheaper will earn less per subscriber, but may have access to a larger audience at that price point.

Nutrola's prices vary by country to match local purchasing power and app-store policies. Creators with followers across multiple countries may see a range of payouts per subscriber depending on where each referral comes from.

What do free trials pay?

Trials do not trigger commission until they convert to a paid subscription. A free trial that ends without a payment means zero commission. When the trial converts to a paid subscription, the commission is 20% of the first payment the subscriber makes after the trial ends. This is important: a trial subscriber who cancels during the trial period, or whose trial expires without converting, generates no commission for you at any point.

Trial outcome	You receive	Timing	Explanation
Trial ends without converting	Nothing	Never	No commission on an unpaid trial, ever
Trial converts to yearly subscription at $39.99	$8.00	When the first paid payment is made	When the subscriber's trial ends and the first paid month begins, you earn 20% of that payment
Trial converts to monthly subscription at $9.99	$2.00	When the first paid payment is made	When the subscriber's trial ends and the first paid month begins, you earn 20% of that payment
Trial subscriber changes plans mid-trial	20% of the converted plan's first payment	When conversion happens	If they choose yearly during a monthly trial, the conversion pays the yearly amount

This is why trial conversion is the critical moment: it is where the commission starts. A trial subscriber who spends two weeks using the app but never converts is not a subscriber, even though they saw your code. Only the actual payment matters.

What about refunds?

A refund reverses the commission within the month it happens. If a subscriber pays $39.99 on 15 September and you earn $8, then requests a refund on 20 September, that $8 is not included in September's payout. The refund is Nutrola's cost, not yours; nothing is clawed back from your next month's payout or held against your balance.

This is the refund guard built into the payout schedule: commission is paid the month after the subscription converts, so within that window, a refund simply never gets paid to you. Your monthly statement shows which referrals were refunded so you can see what happened. Refunded subscribers still show in your referral list if you ever need to audit it, but their payment does not hit your account.

What conversion means for your payout timing and trial extensions. How the whole code works end to end. What one subscriber is worth over their lifetime. How local prices affect your rate by country.
