All program-generated revenues shall be subject to specific deductions to ensure compliance and sustainability. A 16% tax (VAT) will be applied in accordance with the Kenyan VAT Act. In addition, a 10% platform deduction will be retained to cover Learning Management System (LMS) maintenance, digital hosting, and platform support. The remaining 74% (net) will constitute the tutor share, which shall be distributed among participating tutors based on their respective composition and contribution to the program.

The distribution of tutor earnings shall be based on the composition and level of contribution of each tutor within a program. For programs involving two tutors, the major tutor will receive 60%, while the minor tutor will receive 40%, with the major tutor responsible for overseeing the curriculum and the minor tutor supporting specific modules. In cases involving three tutors, the major tutor will earn 40%, and each of the two minor tutors will receive 30%, with the major tutor leading coordination activities. For programs with four tutors, the major tutor will be allocated 35%, while each minor tutor will receive 21.66%, with the major tutor supervising the overall structure as the minors contribute equally across modules.
