How does the Dealokr Free plan commission work?

The Free plan is modeled as 5% per protected deal with a 1 EUR minimum per deal. The calculator estimates freelancer plan cost from your deal volume and number of deals.

When does Pro usually become cheaper?

At a 5% rate, Pro at 29 EUR per month usually breaks even around 580 EUR of monthly protected deals, before considering the 1 EUR minimum on very small deals.

Is this calculator a final invoice estimate?

No. It is a planning estimate for Dealokr plan comparison and checkout fee modeling. Actual provider fees, taxes, refunds, chargebacks, and billing states can differ.

Estimate

Compare Free and Pro using your monthly deal volume.

This calculator separates freelancer plan cost from the visible client checkout fee. It remains a planning estimate, not a final invoice or legal/tax calculation.

Monthly protected deal volume (EUR) Total amount of protected freelance deals you expect to process through Dealokr in one month.

Number of protected deals per month Used to estimate the 1 EUR minimum per deal on the Free plan.

How to read the result.

If the Free estimated cost is below 29 EUR, Free is probably the lighter starting point. If the Free estimated cost is above 29 EUR, Pro can make more sense because it removes Dealokr commission after the paid subscription is active.

The usual break-even is easy: 29 EUR divided by 5% equals 580 EUR. If you process around 580 EUR or more in protected deals each month, Pro becomes worth considering.

Why deal count matters.

The Free plan includes a 1 EUR minimum per protected deal. For normal deal sizes, the 5% rate is the main factor. For many tiny deals, the minimum can make the result slightly different from a pure percentage estimate.

How the client checkout fee is modeled.

The checkout fee estimate uses a conservative card-processing model of 3.25% plus 0.25 EUR, grossed up so the fee also covers processing applied to the fee itself. The client sees the full checkout total before paying.

What this does not calculate.

This page does not calculate taxes, refunds, chargebacks, exchange rates, custom offers, or final provider pricing. It is a planning tool for choosing between Dealokr Free and Pro and understanding the checkout fee model.

Does Pro remove checkout fees?

No. Pro removes Dealokr commission after the subscription is active. A visible client checkout fee may still apply so service and payment-provider costs are covered before payment.

Is Free bad for beginners?

No. Free is designed to let freelancers start without a monthly subscription. It can be a good fit before Dealokr becomes part of your regular workflow.

Can pricing change later?

Pricing and plan rules can evolve. Always rely on the current pricing page and checkout state before making a billing decision.
