Merchant of Record vs Direct Billing Profit Calculator

MoR이 수수료는 더 비싸 보여도 실제로는 세금·차지백·컴플라이언스·결제 운영 부담을 줄여 더 많이 남길 수 있습니다. 반대로 직접 결제 스택이 이미 충분히 효율적이면 MoR은 추가 비용일 뿐입니다. 이 계산기는 두 모델을 같은 월간 매출 기준으로 나란히 비교해 실수령액과 손익분기 MoR 요율을 보여줍니다.

Editable planning model: provider policies, tax treatment, refund handling, and dispute rules vary by country and platform. Treat this as an operator-side decision model, not accounting or legal advice.

Inputs

Use monthly assumptions. Direct billing models payment processing, tax burden, disputes, and internal overhead explicitly. The MoR side collapses those responsibilities into a fee stack plus any fixed platform cost.

Current MoR vs Break-even
Current MoR fee minus break-even rate.
Interpretation

If direct billing already runs lean, MoR becomes pure drag. If tax and ops overhead are real, MoR may buy back net margin even at a higher fee headline.

What to pressure-test next: if your break-even MoR fee rate is far above actual MoR pricing, the direct stack is probably undercounting tax, dispute, or operational burden. If the break-even rate is below current MoR pricing, focus on direct billing efficiency or reconsider whether you actually need outsourced tax/compliance coverage.
