For SaaS products, 20–40% recurring commission is standard. One-time products typically use 5–15%. B2B SaaS tends toward the higher end (30–50%) while consumer apps use 15–30%. Use our Affiliate Commission Calculator to find the right rate for your margin.
How do I calculate affiliate ROI?
Affiliate ROI = (Revenue from affiliates − Total program cost) ÷ Total program cost × 100. Total cost includes commissions paid + program management costs (tools, affiliate manager time, creative assets). Use our Affiliate Marketing ROI Calculator for a full 12-month projection.
When is the right time to launch an affiliate program?
You are ready to launch when: your product has positive unit economics (margin > commission rate), you have at least 5,000 monthly visitors or an existing customer base, and you can commit to paying affiliates monthly. Use our Readiness Score Calculator to get a personalized assessment.
How much does an affiliate program cost to run?
Costs fall into two categories: variable (commissions paid only on sales, typically 5–40% of revenue) and fixed (affiliate software like Rewardful from $39/mo, affiliate manager time). The best programs keep CAC below their LTV and maintain at least 3:1 ROI.
