Home / Guides / What Are 'Operating and Management Costs'?

Introduction

Every week, operating and management costs are subtracted from Gross Earnings before your Account Owner Share percentage is calculated. Here's what that category is actually paying for.

Key Points

  • These costs cover the scale of operations, staffing, and management of your account, per Section 4.
  • They represent the "Starkworth Share" — what Starkworth retains for running the account.
  • They're deducted before Net Earnings — and therefore your percentage — are calculated.
  • The exact cost structure isn't itemized publicly, but the resulting Net Earnings figure is available on request.
