Also, it would be good to show these calculation explicitly imho.

Important: in general for monetization, I miss some mention how the profit is computed! This is vital info for creators. I think this article should contain more information from docs to make it more self-contained. It can also link to docs for more details.

Also a link to each pricing model section in docs for people who would want to learn more, and here just a small explanation + example.
