Apple's 5% Core Technology Commission: what the EU fee swap changes for web shop math
By UA Ledger staff — Archive date: 5 min read
Revised
Apple's per-install Core Technology Fee is replaced in the EU by a 5% commission on digital transactions in apps distributed outside the App Store. Here is the chronology and the arithmetic for a web shop case.
Correction in progress
The archive treated a planned fee transition as completed and applied an install-fee example without the necessary eligibility and annual-install context. Do not use the original arithmetic for a budget decision.
The original copy remains in the editorial archive. The sources below are available while the replacement is reviewed.
- Apple's June 2025 transition announcement
- Apple's August 2026 terms announcement
- Core Technology Fee definitions
