Selling on Testkart costs nothing upfront. There are no plans to buy and no monthly charges. Testkart keeps a flat 28% platform fee from each sale, and the rest goes to your Testkart balance. This guide explains how the fee works, where to check it, and what happens if you already have a paid subscription.
How Much Does Testkart Keep From Each Sale?
Every teacher pays the same standard platform fee of 28% on each sale. It applies to everything you sell on Testkart: test series, courses, study notes, bundles and live tests.
The fee is worked out on what the student actually paid, after any promo code discount. For example:
A student buys your test series for ₹100. You keep ₹72 and Testkart keeps ₹28.
A student buys a ₹500 course with a 20% promo code and pays ₹400. You keep ₹288 and Testkart keeps ₹112.
The fee covers payment gateway charges, secure hosting of your content and student support. Free content and free enrollments are never charged.
Do I Need a Subscription to Sell?
No. Testkart no longer sells teacher subscription plans. Every teacher gets the full set of tools, including the AI question generator, and pays only the platform fee when a sale happens. If you don't sell anything, you pay nothing.
Where Can I See My Platform Fee?
In the sidebar, under Management, click Fees & billing.
The Your platform fee card shows the rate that applies to your next sale.
Your Earnings page also lists the fee charged on every past sale, next to the amount you kept.
Do Past Sales Change When the Fee Changes?
No. Each sale keeps the fee it was sold at. The standard fee moved from 30% to 28% on 13-10-2026, so sales made before that date still show 30%, and sales from that date onward show 28%.
What Is a Special Rate?
Sometimes Testkart agrees a different fee with a teacher, for example as part of a partnership. If you have one, your Fees & billing page shows Special rate with the percentage and the date it is valid until. After that date, your sales move to the standard 28% fee. Special rates are set by the Testkart team. Contact support if you have questions about yours.
I Already Have a Paid Subscription. What Happens Now?
If you bought a plan before plans were withdrawn, nothing changes for you while it is active:
You keep your plan's platform fee until your plan ends.
If autopay is on, your plan keeps renewing as before, and your fee stays the same.
Your Fees & billing page shows your plan, its fee, the date it renews on and your billing history.
Cancelling Your Subscription
Go to Fees & billing.
Click Cancel Subscription and confirm.
Autopay is turned off with your bank or UPI app, and you won't be charged again. You keep your plan until its end date. After that, your sales move to the standard 28% fee.
Restarting Autopay
If you cancelled by mistake, you can turn autopay back on before your plan ends. On the Fees & billing page, use Restart Autopay under Renew your plan. Once a plan has ended, it can't be bought again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any monthly or yearly charge for teachers?
No. Testkart only keeps the 28% platform fee when you make a sale.
Can I buy a plan to lower my platform fee?
No. Plans are no longer sold, and every teacher pays the same standard fee unless the Testkart team has agreed a special rate with them.
Is the fee taken before or after a promo discount?
After. The fee is taken from what the student actually paid.
Why do some of my older sales show 30%?
Those sales were made before 13-10-2026, when the standard fee was 30%. Each sale keeps the rate it was sold at.
Where does the money I keep go?
It goes to your Testkart balance on the Earnings page, and you can withdraw it to your bank account once your bank details are added.
