Hi, I’ve released game on Steam some time ago. I have sales reports for current quarter and I need help with royalties. It’s not clear to me 😃

I’m aware that similar questions were posted here, but I mean the real product.

Let’s say I received this sales report (fictional data)

- Gross Sales 25.000$
- Refunds 10.000$
- Net Sales 15.000$ (Gross Sales - Refunds)
- Revenue 10.500$ ( -30% for Steam )
- And received 10.000$ directly onto my bank account.

First 3.000$ per calendar quarter is “royalty-free”.  
I have 45 days after calendar quarter to submit the form and pay royalties, right? (August 14th ???)

Should I take refunds into account? Or ignore them and use Net Sales. (more logical)
