@azzouzana Could you please help clarify this for me?

I'm no expert, especially with PPE/PPR 😆
What I know is that free users aren't included in the profit calculation since it's Apify who pays for platform cost not you
and the amount you're seeing is the one you'd be getting, I believe that Apify's 20% cut is already taken
70,766 are only from paid user => 70766/1000*$8 = $566 => that's how much it generated
Now, $566 -20% (Apify's cut) = $452
Now, you get $452 - $70 (the cost) = $382
numbers match (I'm still no expert 😆 )
Select everything except ‘No discount,’ since as @azzouzana mentioned, the free ones don’t count. That way you calculate based on the paid results (you don’t earn from the free ones, but Apify also doesn’t charge you internal costs like CU, Apify proxies, dataset writes, reads. However, if you have external costs such as external APIs or something similar, you need to be careful either limit free users more strictly or be ready to absorb that cost).

Thank you so much! I am new to APIFY so I don't know many many things
We learn together 🙌
Thanks for helping out here @azzouzana and @aciku! 🫶
Welcome @chinhfree :pikawave: I just have one small request that you ask questions like this in #apify-platform, so that the answers are easier for other people to find when they are looking. Things get buried here in #🗣general-chat, so the fantastic responses you got from other community members probably won't be read by anyone else ðŸ˜
Other than that, I hope you got the info you needed and we look forward to seeing you around here more often! :wauw:
