Indie devs under $1M, are you tipping Apple extra 15%? AppStore Small Business Program drops the Apple tax from 30% to 15% on paid apps and IAP. Ā Manual enrollment only. It never happens by default. Who qualifies: ā Under $1M USD in proceeds last cal year ā New developers, from day one ā Proceeds means net of Apple's cut, so ~$1.3M gross can still qualify Reduced rate only kicks in 15 days after the fiscal month your enrollment is approved. Every month you wait is margin handed back to Cupertino. Ā PS. EU alternative terms devs get a further cut to 10%
