The net profit from the sale of a project is split 80/20 between the Creator and Lulu. The net profit of a sale is found after subtracting the manufacturing cost from the total price.

Example:
If the net profit for an item is $5.00, the Creator Revenue is $4.00 (80%) and Lulu's Commission is $1.00 (20%).

Total Price »  13.50
Manufacturing Cost » - 8.50
Net Profit »    5.00
Lulu Commission 20% » - 1.00
Creator Revenue 80% »    4.00

If the Creator is a member of a publishing program, the agreed on percentage is also subtracted.

Example:
If the net profit for an item is $5.00, the Creator Revenue is $3.00 (60%), the Publishing Program's Commission is $1.00 (20%), and Lulu's Commission is $1.00 (20%).

Total Price »  13.50
Manufacturing Cost » - 8.50
Net Profit »    5.00
Lulu Commission 20% » - 1.00
Program Commission 20% » - 1.00
Creator Revenue 80% »    3.00
