What determines your Starkworth profit-sharing percentage, why it's individual to your agreement, and how to clarify it before signing.
Your profit-sharing percentage is the specific split, defined in your individual signed agreement, that determines how earnings from your account are divided. This number is set before you sign anything — it's presented and explained during onboarding, and you review the exact figure as part of the agreement before committing.
Account Owners specifically — Annotator pay works differently, based on task performance rather than a percentage split.
This is the single number that determines your actual weekly earnings, which is exactly why it's worth reading more than once before signing, and why it's individual to your agreement rather than a marketing figure.
Your percentage is explained during the onboarding explanation step, presented again in your draft agreement, and finalized only once you sign. See How to Become a Starkworth Account Owner for how this fits into the full sequence.
Set once, at signing, and applied consistently to every weekly payout for as long as the agreement remains active — it doesn't change without a documented update to the agreement itself.
Because it's individual to each agreement rather than a fixed company-wide rate, the only reliable source for your actual percentage is your own signed document, not general marketing copy or what another Account Owner has mentioned to you.
If a payout ever doesn't seem to match your agreement, that's worth raising directly through Support so it can be checked against your signed terms.
Illustrative example — not a real customer case study
Two Account Owners with different agreements compare notes and notice their percentages differ. This isn't unusual — each agreement is individually set during onboarding, so a direct comparison between two different Account Owners' percentages isn't meaningful without knowing the full context of each agreement.
Raise any concerns during the explanation step, before you've signed — that's the point in the process where terms are discussed.
Each agreement is set individually during onboarding, so differences between Account Owners aren't unusual and don't indicate an error.
Only through a documented update agreed by both parties — it doesn't change unilaterally.
Apply your agreement's percentage to your account's tracked earnings for the week — if this doesn't match an actual payout, raise it with Support.
In your individual signed profit-sharing agreement — refer to that document directly rather than any general guide.
Contact Support now to get clarity — it's never too late to confirm your own agreement's terms.
