The commission classes
The policy sets out six classes. Each one pairs a video earnings threshold with a commission rate:
| Class | Video earnings threshold | Commission |
|---|---|---|
| A | Above ₹2 lakh | 5% |
| B | ₹3 lakh | 6% |
| C | ₹5 lakh | 7% |
| D | ₹8 lakh | 8% |
| E | ₹10 lakh | 10% |
| F | ₹30 lakh | 15% |
How commission is worked out
Agency commission is determined by two things: your hosts' qualifying video earnings and the commission rate that applies to your class.
As a purely illustrative example, an agency whose confirmed rate is 6% and whose hosts have ₹3,00,000 in qualifying video earnings would calculate 6% of ₹3,00,000, which is ₹18,000. This shows the arithmetic only. It is not a prediction of what any agency will earn.
You can run your own numbers with the commission calculator.
Why growth matters
The rate rises with each class, and the steps get larger towards the top: one point per class from A to D, then 8% to 10% at Class E and 10% to 15% at Class F. An agency with more active, well-supported hosts is therefore rated at a higher percentage, not only on a larger base.
What the policy leaves unclear
We show the table exactly as it appears in the policy, including its gaps:
- Threshold wording. Class A is labelled “above ₹2 lakh”. Classes B to F show a single amount, with no “above”, “from” or range.
- Between classes. It is not stated which class applies to an amount that falls between two listed figures.
- Below Class A. No rate is shown for video earnings of ₹2 lakh or less.
- Period. The table does not state the period over which video earnings are added up.
- Qualifying earnings. The table refers to video earnings. Whether message and gift earnings count is not stated.
For these reasons our calculator asks you to select your confirmed class instead of choosing one for you. Please confirm your class and rate with us.
