Merchant of Record keeps more at this revenue level
Merchant of Record fee assumption: 5% of gross. Tax collection and remittance are handled by the provider; the tax liability card shows what you would owe under the self-managed model. FX friction uses a fixed 2.2% planning assumption.
Runway assumes a flat monthly run-rate. Seasonal spikes, refunds and marketplace-facilitator sales can move the real registration date.

Rate context
The calculator uses a planning rate, not every rate
GST uses multiple slabs (5%, 12%, 18%, 28%) plus special rates; the calculator uses 18%.
The estimate is useful for sizing exposure, not for preparing a return. Product-specific rates, exemptions, reverse-charge rules and place-of-supply tests can change the amount you actually owe.
