Audit-Ready Fee Calculation

Audit-ready fee calculation with traceable evidence

Calculate fees and deductions from source revenue, then keep the rule version, refund, adjustment, locked run, statement, and export evidence needed to reconstruct the result. Audit-ready means the calculation is traceable, not that Allocora certifies an audit or moves money.

What teams usually need to know first

What is audit-ready fee calculation software?

Audit-ready fee calculation software calculates fees and deductions from source revenue, then preserves enough evidence to reconstruct the result later. In Allocora that evidence is the source row, revenue type, mapped payee, rule version, calculation run, statement, export, and audit log — not an audit certificate.

Which evidence should a fee calculation preserve?

Preserve the imported sale, refund, or adjustment row; the mapped product and payee; the versioned rule that applied the fee or split; the locked calculation run; the statement output; the export file; and the audit record of those workflow events. Allocora records those events through its audit trail and evidence bundles.

How does Allocora handle fees, refunds, and adjustments?

Canonical revenue types are sale, refund, and adjustment. Refund rows require a negative amount. Adjustment rows accept a signed credit or debit. Versioned rules allocate the reviewed base, and statements are generated from locked runs. Allocora calculates and exports the obligation; the payout rail still moves money.

Worked Example

Synthetic fee example — not customer data

This example uses the same default inputs as the revenue split calculator: gross revenue minus platform fees minus reserves, then a signed adjustment. Recalculate it on the free tool, then keep the workspace evidence listed below when the same logic repeats every period.

gross revenue - platform fees - reserves + signed adjustment

Gross revenue
$50,000.00
Platform fee (12%)
$6,000.00
Reserve (5%)
$2,500.00
Signed adjustment
$0.00
Net split base
$41,500.00
Payee A 50%
$20,750.00
Payee B 30%
$12,450.00
Payee C 20%
$8,300.00

The three payee shares sum to the $41,500.00 net split base. In a workspace, sale, refund, and adjustment rows stay immutable, the rule version is snapshotted on the run, and statements plus exports are generated from the locked result.

Signed adjustments apply after the percentage deductions. A -$500.125 adjustment on these inputs yields a $40,999.875 net split base in the same calculator.

Problem

Fee calculations are hard to defend when deductions live in spreadsheets

Allocora keeps revenue settlement work in controlled workflows instead of scattered spreadsheets, side notes, and manual payout files.

Platform fees, refunds, reserves, and signed adjustments often live in separate files from the final statement.

Historical fee logic becomes unclear when formulas or mappings change after close.

Dispute resolution slows down when teams cannot show which rule, refund, or adjustment produced each line.

Workflow

From source revenue to reviewed settlement output

  1. 01

    Import source revenue and preserve immutable sale, refund, and adjustment rows.

  2. 02

    Map products and payees before calculation.

  3. 03

    Use versioned allocation rules, including fee and deduction terms, with conflict checks.

  4. 04

    Create deterministic calculation runs with snapshot context.

  5. 05

    Generate statements, exports, and audit evidence from reviewed runs.

Product Fit

What Allocora brings to this workflow

Allocora calculates and governs settlement logic before payout execution. It produces reviewed outputs for finance workflows and payout rails; it does not move money.

Audit-ready means the source, rule, refund, adjustment, run, statement, and export evidence can be reconstructed later. Allocora does not certify audits, provide legal or tax advice, or move money.
