GLOSSARY

Take rate

Platform revenue as a share of GMV.

Interpretation

Higher take requires strong value; monitor impact on supply/demand and retention.

Benchmarks

B2C marketplaces: 5–20%; Services: 10–25%; B2B verticals: 5–15% (category-dependent).

Worked example

Platform revenue $27k; GMV $340k → Take rate = 27/340 = 7.94%.

Common pitfalls

Ignoring promo credits/subsidies; blended vs category rates; not excluding taxes/shipping.

How to show in your deck

Business model slide: take rate by category/tier; margin bridge from GMV → revenue.

Deck snippet

Take 8% blended (12% services, 5% goods).

Formulas

Take rate (%)
(Platform revenue / GMV) x 100%
