Envato Elements work simulator

Play a few minutes as a new Envato Elements seller. Every fee, payout delay and sign-up rule comes from Envato Elements’s real data where we have it, and everything else is labelled.

  • 15% cut (typical)
  • Paid after 30 d
  • Min payout $50
  • 3–6 minutes
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.

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