Comprehensive Payout Structure and Revenue Distribution for DBSU Instructors
Once all platform-level deductions are completed, instructors receive 75% of the total course revenue. This ensures creators are fairly compensated for their work while the platform handles the technical, administrative, and operational responsibilities required to support course delivery at scale.
A 5% fee is deducted from every course sale to maintain the DBS University platform. This covers server costs, security, software infrastructure, platform updates, support tools, and continuous improvements that enable instructors to publish and manage their courses reliably.
After the maintenance fee is deducted, the remaining amount is subject to a 20% administrative charge. This fee supports essential operational activities such as payment processing, marketplace management, compliance checks, customer service, and verification systems that keep the platform functioning smoothly.
No. All platform-related deductions are clearly defined upfront, including the maintenance fee and administrative charge. Instructors keep full visibility into their earnings with transparent reporting.
100% = Course Price (total student payment)
5% = Maintenance Fee (supports platform stability)
Remaining 95% = Net Amount
From this 95%, a 20% Admin Charge applies
The final result is that the instructor receives 75% of the original course price
