How much does Kajabi take from a $199 sale?

Nothing as commission. On the Basic plan the only charge is Kajabi Payments processing: $6.07, leaving you $192.93, an effective 3.05%. Growth costs $5.87 and leaves $193.13; Pro costs $5.67 and leaves $193.33. The plan is the only thing that moves the card rate.

Does Kajabi take a percentage of my course revenue?

No. Kajabi's fee schedule lists payment processing and add-on charges only — it says "The following fees can apply... You'll only be charged for the ones relevant to your transaction" — and no revenue share appears among them. What you pay Kajabi is the monthly plan, which is a subscription rather than a per-sale fee and is never deducted here.

What does a subscription or payment plan cost extra?

0.7% on every recurring charge, the first one included. On a $199 charge that takes the fees from $6.07 to $7.46 and your net from $192.93 to $191.54, an effective 3.75% instead of 3.05%. It is added to whatever base rate your plan carries.

What happens when my buyer's card is issued abroad?

Kajabi adds a 1.5% international card surcharge when the card is issued in a different country from your registered business location. On a $199 sale on Basic that is $2.99 on top of $6.07, so the fees are $9.06 and you keep $189.94, an effective 4.55%.

Is ACH cheaper than taking a card?

Much, on a large sale. ACH Direct Debit is 0.80% capped at $5.00 and replaces the card rate rather than adding to it, so a $199 sale costs $1.59 instead of $6.07 and a $1,000 sale costs $5.00 instead of $29.30. Kajabi also lists a verification fee and a failed-payment fee on ACH, which have no rule here and are not priced.

What should I charge to keep $199?

$205.25 on the Basic plan, on which the fee is $6.25. Adding 2.9% and 30 cents to your target lands a little short, because the rate is charged on the higher price too. The calculator's "I want to net" mode solves it to within a cent on any plan.
