What does NetAfterFees help with now?
The site is positioned as a broader pricing, profit, and payout toolkit. Fee calculators still exist, but evergreen pricing and profit tools come first.
Are the calculators meant to replace accounting software?
No. They are planning tools built to help you sanity-check a price, margin, invoice, or payout quickly before you open a spreadsheet.
