When it’s time to understand your earnings — for planning, taxes, or just satisfaction — Klimb’s revenue and payout reports give you the full financial picture of your academy. You can see how revenue trends over time, which courses drive it, and how gross sales translate into the money that actually reaches your bank.
Revenue over time
The core report charts your revenue across a date range, so you can see the rhythm of your academy:
- Track day-over-day, week-over-week, or month-over-month performance.
- Line revenue spikes up with launches, emails, and coupon campaigns to learn what drives sales.
- Compare periods to confirm you’re growing rather than just busy.
Revenue here reflects the amounts learners actually paid — after any coupon discounts — charged through your connected Stripe Connect account.
Revenue by course
Breaking revenue down by course tells you where your money really comes from:
- Identify your top earners — the courses worth promoting harder and building follow-ups to.
- Spot underperformers that may need better positioning, pricing, or a free preview lesson.
- See how free courses feed paid ones by comparing enrollment counts against revenue.
Pair this with course and lesson engagement to find courses that earn and keep learners — your strongest assets.
Gross revenue vs. net payout
It’s important to separate what learners paid from what lands in your bank. The gap is fees and refunds:
- Gross revenue — the total learners paid.
- Platform fee — Klimb’s percentage, which varies by plan; lower on higher plans (see pricing).
- Stripe processing fee — Stripe’s standard per-transaction charge.
- Refunds — amounts returned to learners, deducted from your balance.
- Net payout — what remains and transfers to your bank.
For the mechanics and timing of how payouts land, see Understanding payouts and fees. Your Stripe Dashboard remains the authoritative record of every transfer.
Exporting your data
For accounting, taxes, or your own spreadsheets, you can export your revenue data — typically as a CSV covering the period and breakdown you’ve selected. Use exports to:
- Hand clean records to a bookkeeper or accountant
- Reconcile Klimb’s figures against your Stripe payouts
- Build your own dashboards or year-end summaries
Always reconcile against your Stripe Dashboard, since Stripe is the system of record for the money itself.
Reading the reports well
- Match revenue to actions. Annotate spikes with what you did so wins are repeatable.
- Look at net, not just gross. Net payout is your real take-home — plan around it.
- Export on a schedule. Monthly exports make tax season painless.
- Cross-check engagement. A top-earning course with low completion may be coasting on hype; reinvest in it.
From insight to action
These reports close the loop on your academy: the dashboard tells you something’s happening, engagement tells you why, and revenue reports tell you what it’s worth. Together they let you run your academy like a business — pricing deliberately, promoting what works, and knowing exactly what you’ll be paid.
