# Worked fee examples

These examples explain the planned fee rates and approved allocation. They do not describe live revenue, a forecast, a guarantee or a payment already made.

Assumptions: the stated volume is eligible, the target fee applies, the underlying protocol takes 20% of the gross trading fee, and the relevant collection rights receive the full remaining amount. Other pool arrangements can produce different actual collections.

## Business token: $100 of eligible trading volume

Dollar amounts make the arithmetic easy to read. Actual fees may be collected in the pool's configured assets.

| Step                       | Calculation   | Amount |
| -------------------------- | ------------- | -----: |
| Gross trading fee          | $100 × 2.25%  |  $2.25 |
| Protocol share             | $2.25 × 20%   |  $0.45 |
| Eligible distributable net | $2.25 − $0.45 |  $1.80 |
| Business allocation        | $1.80 × 75%   |  $1.35 |
| Launcher allocation        | $1.80 × 10%   |  $0.18 |
| Market allocation          | $1.80 × 15%   |  $0.27 |

The business allocation is 75% of the eligible **$1.80 net**, not 75% of the $100 volume and not 75% of the $2.25 gross fee.

## Business token: $100 already received as distributable net

Once an amount is already stated as eligible protocol-net fees, do not deduct the protocol share a second time.

| Recipient | Allocation |
| --------- | ---------: |
| Business  |        $75 |
| Launcher  |        $10 |
| Market    |        $15 |

A verified business recipient who is also the original launcher has a combined $85 allocation in this example. Actual payment still requires the applicable verified claim and payout steps.

## Official $MARKET: $100 of eligible trading volume

| Step                                                        | Calculation   | Amount |
| ----------------------------------------------------------- | ------------- | -----: |
| Gross trading fee                                           | $100 × 1.5%   |  $1.50 |
| Protocol share                                              | $1.50 × 20%   |  $0.30 |
| Remaining amount under the example's collection assumptions | $1.50 − $0.30 |  $1.20 |

The business token 75 / 10 / 15 allocation does not apply to the official $MARKET token. Its intended fee recipient is described in the [$MARKET guide](https://market-launchpad-com.gitbook.io/docs/market/token). Holding $MARKET does not grant a right to this $1.20.

## Reading a real receipt

Check the asset, period, pool, actual collected amount and state of the claim. A token's price, total trading volume or a theoretical calculator cannot establish an amount that has been paid.
