## Revenue Formula

```
Total Revenue = Listing Fees + Marketplace Commission + Rental Commission + Promotions + Subscriptions

Monthly Revenue = (N_listings × $5)
                + (GMV_marketplace × 0.05)
                + (GMV_rental × avg_commission_rate)
                + (N_promos × avg_promo_price × avg_days)
                + (N_pro × $9.99 + N_business × $29.99)
