Start with a $25 monthly seat, then change the price, customer count, seats per customer, and optional AI Support add-on. The calculator shows recurring revenue, draft BuildWithHQ fees, shared AI-support economics, and what remains for the builder.
All values update instantly. Dollar amounts are monthly unless noted.
The BuildWithHQ Marketing Conference turns industry knowledge into a practical customer-acquisition plan: positioning, first customers, outreach, content, pricing conversations, and repeatable growth.
These scenarios use your current seat price, seats per company, AI Support price, and the same draft fee model.
| Paid seats | Base SaaS MRR | AI Support MRR | BuildWithHQ 10% | BuildWithHQ AI 25% | Builder AI 75% | System fee | Builder retains | Annualized |

The goal is to keep the economics simple: builders control pricing, BuildWithHQ participates in recurring revenue, and AI Support creates an additional shared-revenue layer instead of only being a support expense.
Charge $10, $25, $100, or whatever fits the market you understand.
BuildWithHQ earns 10% of modeled base SaaS subscription revenue, so platform revenue rises with builder success.
Set the AI Support resale price from $5/month per paid seat. The builder retains 75% and BuildWithHQ receives 25%.
The draft price-sensitive system fee remains separate from the revenue share. Unusually heavy AI, GPU, messaging, storage, or third-party consumption is outside this planning calculator.
We include a free template with all of the included features of the system. You can build your own industry-specific vertical from this template. We have a template marketplace, but it is optional to use. There are paid upgrades to optional features (such as document signing); these optional features are purely optional. If you build a heavy file-upload platform, such as a system that shares videos to be edited or a file-upload platform, you will need to connect your own AWS S3 buckets to the system for those files to go into.
The AI Support slider starts at $5 per paid seat per month. AI Support add-on revenue is modeled separately from the base SaaS 10% share: 75% remains with the builder and 25% goes to BuildWithHQ.
A low-priced SaaS should not be overwhelmed by a fixed per-seat platform cost. The draft calculator therefore uses 3% of the monthly seat price per paid seat, with no per-seat dollar cap.
No. It is the amount left after the BuildWithHQ fees modeled here. Your own payment processing, taxes, refunds, sales, support, payroll, unusually heavy AI or third-party usage, and other business expenses still matter.
