Revenue sharing 75% client / 25% Dating Pro is calculated from the platform's gross profit, not from turnover when reselling partner services.
Applies to direct platform revenues: subscriptions, premium features, virtual gifts, advertising.
For resale of third-party goods/services (tours, tickets, physical products) where client's margin is less than 40% - revenue sharing is calculated individually based on actual profitability.

The project generates $100,000 in monthly revenue, and they wish to buy out my share. Can you give me an estimate of how much the payout would be?
Here’s a step-by-step overview of how your payout would typically be calculated for a dating business, using industry-standard methods:
1. Annualize the Revenue
Monthly revenue: $100,000
Annual revenue: $100,000 × 12 = $1,200,000
2. Estimate Profit (EBITDA)
Dating businesses often have profit margins between 10% and 40%.
Let’s assume a 25% profit margin for this example:
Annual EBITDA: $1,200,000 × 0.25 = $300,000
3. Apply Industry Multipliers
In the dating and online services sector, typical EBITDA multipliers range from 2x to 6x, depending on growth rate and market position:
2x: Slow growth or high risk
3x–4x: Moderate growth (20–50% per year)
5x–6x: Fast growth, strong market position
Let’s use a 4x multiplier for a healthy, growing business.
Estimated business value: $300,000 × 4 = $1,200,000
4. Calculate Your Payout
If you own 100%, your payout is $1,200,000
If you own 25%, your payout is $1,200,000 × 0.25 = $300,000
Adjust according to your actual ownership percentage
5. Other Considerations
Final payout may be adjusted for debts, outstanding liabilities, or special agreements.
The actual multiplier can vary based on negotiations, business uniqueness, and market trends.
Summary Table:
Ownership | Payout Estimate (with 4x multiplier) |
100% | $1,200,000 |
50% | $600,000 |
25% | $300,000 |
