Fee Calculations

TutorCruncher fees are made up of two components: a fixed monthly fee and a usage fee which is proportional the revenue Companies put through TutorCruncher.

Fixed monthly fees are charged retrospectively via invoice. Usage fees are calculated and charged in two steps:

For “electronic payments” (eg. where money is collected by Stripe or GoCardless) linked to TutorCruncher an “application fee” is applied at transaction time based on the usage fee percentage.
The total revenue for a company (eg. sum of charges for complete or “cancelled but chargeable” appointments and undeleted Ad Hoc Charges) for each calendar month is calculated. The sum of electronic payments is then subtracted to arrive at “total non-electric revenue”, the percentage usage fee is then calculated and added to the invoice along with the monthly fee.
