Easy Profit Sharing by Percentage

How can I distribute profits in a project fairly using percentages?

When working on a project, it can be challenging to distribute the profits fairly among participants. This is especially true when everyone's share is based on a percentage. In the case of a blockchain project, each participant has a wallet that receives a percentage of the profits.

To simplify this process, I have created a straightforward interface that automatically adjusts the percentages to ensure an equitable distribution. Here are the rules I've implemented:

  • When adding participants, the percentages adjust automatically to ensure a fair distribution. For example, if there are two participants, each will receive 50% of the profits. This reduces the cognitive load on the user and avoids the need for calculations when an even distribution is the most common use case.

  • If a user modifies a percentage, that value remains fixed, even if more participants are added later. The remaining values will adjust automatically, but the user's input will not change. It is essential to give the user control over modifying their input if they desire.

  • If modifications are made to the profit sharing percentages, the interface indicates in red how much is missing or exceeds the 100%. The user can then adjust the percentages as they see fit. It is not necessary to indicate an input as incorrect, as having one participant receive more than another is not indicative of an error. The focus is on indicating the percentage that needs adjusting.

  • When the user has correctly distributed the full 100% of the profits, the interface indicates in green that the distribution is complete. It is essential to let the user know how much percentage they need to distribute, as there may be cases where the distribution is less than 100%.

I hope this simplified interface helps you in your projects. I have tried to find a logical, intuitive approach to profit sharing by percentage. If you found this helpful, please give it a like to help spread the word. Thank you for reading, and see you soon!
