Percentage is kind of irrelevant on a token-based site though. You get 5 cents for every token earned and that's really all that matters.
Unless you go into private shows and whatnot, right?
Nope, MFC and CB give you a flat .05 cents per token, whether it's earned through tips or privates. It really doesn't matter what percentage of the purchase price per token it is, because you're getting a flat rate per token that you can always count on. On MFC, taking a Private will earn you 60 tk per min, and a Tru-Private will earn you 80 tk per min. To figure out how much you've earned on either of these sites, go to your token stats and take whatever the number is and multiply it by .05 to convert it to your earnings in US dollars.
On sites like SM where it's a percentage (in the case of SM, it's 35% if you sign up directly through them), you will have the option to change what you charge for a Prem/Excl chat (this can be anything from .99 per min. all the way up to over $14 per min., depending on how you want to price yourself) and you earn a set percentage of what you earn. You do have the option to offer 'block sessions' on SM where guys can pay less per minute for your Prem/Excl chat... but you still earn 35% of what they're paying per minute. So say you decide to charge $5.99 per min. for Prem; so if someone stays in your chat for 5 min., then that's 5.99*5/100*35=$10.48 your take-home for that Prem. chat. However, on SM you do NOT have to do this math yourself; whatever you see under the 'Earnings' tab is your cut. (This may be my favorite thing about SM, no need for calculators, lol!)
Note: I do realize that you don't cam on SM (anymore?), but someone else might come along who's confused and wants a breakdown between tokens/percentage!
