Revenue-Linked Billing
Tie a subscription's cost to a percentage of a recurring income stream — with min and max fee caps.
Some tools (payment processors, marketplace fees, agency revenue shares) cost a percentage of revenue rather than a flat monthly price. LemSubs models this natively: link a subscription to a recurring income source, set a percentage and optional min/max caps, and watch the forecast adjust as your revenue moves.

How it works
- Add a Recurring Income: Set up the income stream (retainer, salary, marketplace earnings)
- Add a Subscription: Choose 'Revenue-linked' billing and link to the income
- Set Percentage & Caps: Enter the % rate and optional min/max fee
- Watch the Forecast: Costs update automatically as income changes
Frequently asked questions
What if my fee has a minimum?
Set the min fee cap — LemSubs uses it whenever the calculated % falls below.
Can I link more than one subscription to the same income?
Yes — chain as many fee-based subs to a revenue source as you need.
Does the forecast respect a max fee cap?
Yes — both min and max caps are applied to every forecast period, so projections never exceed your real exposure.
