How this simulation works
Each game is one of ten templates for a kind of work, filled with this platform’s real data where we have it. Anything we don’t know is either the typical value for its platform type or a plain assumption, and is labelled so below. Demand, job volume and luck are simulated.
| What | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Platform cutNo cut is taken from your earnings. | 0% | Platform data |
| Days before money can be withdrawnPublished: "First Stripe payout up to 14 days, then about 2 to 7 business days, or daily, weekly, or monthly" | 14 d | Platform data |
| Minimum payoutThe game treats it as no minimum. | Not stated | Assumed |
| Listing fee per item listedNo listing fee in our data. | $0 | Assumed |
| Shoppers who see each listing per week | 45 | Assumed |
| Shoppers who buy at a normal price | 3% | Assumed |
| Shipping cost per order | $5.5 | Assumed |
| Orders refunded or returned | 4% | Assumed |

A simplified simulation based on Big Cartel’s published rules, for learning only. It is not an earnings promise: real results depend on your skills, location, demand and Big Cartel’s current rules.
