Work Out What Your Stated Refund Terms Actually Owe

A refund policy is only clear when the number it produces matches the number the customer expects.

What this guide helps you do

Turn a price, an undelivered share, and a payment fee into the refund your terms owe and the net the customer gets.

Who this guide is for

Sellers and freelancers who publish refund terms and want to check them against a real request.

Use the source document or official route that applies to your situation. This guide does not contact another person or verify external information.

Steps

  1. Enter the price paid

    Use the amount the customer actually paid, including any deposit.

  2. Set the undelivered share

    Enter the share of the work or goods that was not delivered, as a percentage.

  3. Add the payment fee

    Enter the processing fee you already paid if your terms deduct it.

  4. Read the net

    The net is what the customer receives. If it surprises you, the published terms are the problem.

  5. Publish the arithmetic

    State the share and the fee in the terms so the next request does not become a dispute.

Worked example

A $1,200 invoice with 25 percent undelivered and a $35 fee owes $300, and the customer nets $265.

  1. Refund = $1,200 × 25% = $300
  2. Net = $300 − $35 fee = $265

Use your own source and details. The example is not a record about a real person or organization.

Compare two worked cases

Two refund requests under the same written terms. Both are examples.

Both cases are examples, not records about a real person. The bars show the same numbers the free App computes.
