How to Calculate IPTV Reseller Profit

Profit in a reseller business comes from the gap between what you pay per credit and what you charge customers per subscription. The calculation is straightforward once you know the variables. This guide walks through the methodology with worked examples using actual pricing from our IPTV reseller plans.

The Four Variables

• Cost per credit — determined by your chosen package (e.g. Standard 100cr = £2.30/credit)
• Credits per subscription — determined by duration (1mo=1cr, 3mo=3cr, 6mo=6cr, 12mo=12cr)
• Number of customers — your volume
• Your selling price — what you charge each customer per subscription

The Formulas

Worked Example 1 — Standard, 1-Month Subscriptions

Package: Standard 100 credits (£229.99) | Customers: 20 | Duration: 1 month | Selling price: £8/customer

Worked Example 2 — Premium, 6-Month Subscriptions

Package: Premium Business 500 credits (£999.99) | Customers: 15 | Duration: 6 months | Selling price: £25/customer

How Package Size Affects Your Margin

Buying a larger credit package reduces your per-credit cost, which directly improves margin. Standard 50 credits at £2.80/credit versus 1,000 credits at £1.65/credit saves £1.15 per 1-month subscription and £13.80 per 12-month subscription. At scale, this is a meaningful margin difference.

Trial Subscriptions and Profit

The 6-hour trial costs 0 credits — no direct cost to you. Trials are a conversion opportunity: customers who trial and convert become paying subscriptions. Factor your trial-to-paid conversion rate into your planning. For a full explanation of how credits work across durations, see the reseller credits guide.
