These percentages apply to the sale price itself, not a post-fee remainder. If a sale comes through an affiliate, the affiliate's cut comes off the top first (40% on Standard, 90% on Premium). The 80/20 split above applies to whatever's left, not to the full sale price. Worked out in full:

03 — The charities
-
Team Water / WaterAid
Funds clean-water projects in communities that don't have reliable access, run with WaterAid. Donations go on Team Water's public donor leaderboard, so you can confirm the money went out, in the amount stated, without taking our word for it.

DonorsChoose — Detroit Public Schools Community District
Funds specific classroom needs teachers ask for (books, supplies, lab equipment) for DPSCD, which serves about 49,000 students across 115 schools. Money goes to a named classroom project, not a general fund.

04 — Payout status
Standard tier donations
Updated each payout cycle
Premium tier donations
Updated on sale
Funds are sent to charity as soon as they clear our payment processor and we can move them, which is the same payout cycle. Any lag here is standard processor hold time, not us sitting on the money. Team Water donations are independently confirmed on their public leaderboard once logged; DonorsChoose funds a named classroom project you'll be able to see by name.
05 — Affiliate program
Standard tier: open. Affiliates earn a commission on sales they refer, disclosed wherever the link is shared, as the FTC expects. Rate on request.
Nothing Premium: a 90% commission is offered to any affiliate who closes a $100,000 sale. This is not a typo. We don't expect it to convert, and it's not a way to move money. Any account that looks like it's trying will be reported to the relevant authorities. Treat it as what it is: a standing offer nobody's expected to take.
06 — Everything else, plainly
- This is a real product. You are, literally, buying nothing. Nothing physical is shipped unless otherwise stated at checkout.
- No purchase is required to see this page or to know where the money goes.
- Percentages above are fixed and public. They don't change based on how a sale is made (direct, affiliate, or otherwise). Only what they're calculated from changes.
- Questions about a specific transaction, receipt, or figure on this page: send them to the contact address in the site footer.
