Mobile operator takes a revenue share on each transaction for handling billing, collecting money and covering credit risk. The operators then pay the remaining money (usually between 40% and 60% depending on end-user price) to Fortumo. Fortumo pays you the money received from operators minus a small commission (which can be only 2-3% of net price, depending on country, type of service and volume). The table above shows your revenue after the operator's share and Fortumo commission.
Presented revenue share is calculated from the Price excl. VAT (24%).
