Profit Transparency

How Your Investment & Profits Are Calculated

Every purchase you make at a Wetopian business counts as a real investment. Here is exactly how your share of the profits is calculated — no gatekeepers, no hidden math.

Step Zero

When You Buy, You Invest

When you buy from a Wetopian business, the full price of the product before VAT and tax is counted as your investment for the current Fiscal Year (FY) in that company.

Every purchase — big or small — adds to your investment total. You're not just shopping. You're building something meaningful with every transaction.

At the end of the fiscal year, your cumulative investment determines your share of the profits that are distributed back to customers.

How it works — Example
Product price (incl. VAT)$115.00
VAT (15%)− $15.00
Your Investment (before VAT & tax)$100.00
Your investment accumulates across all purchases throughout the fiscal year. The more you buy from Wetopian businesses, the larger your share of the profits.

The more you invest (spend) at a Wetopian business in a fiscal year, the more shares you hold, and the larger your share of the ≥51% customer profit pool. Every purchase — no matter how small — contributes.

Employee profit shares are weighted by salary and bonuses — higher-earning employees hold more shares, but every employee participates. Work is directly linked to ownership of outcomes.
Other Distributions

How the Remaining Profits Are Distributed

Beyond customers and employees, every Wetopian business distributes profits to four additional stakeholder groups — each with a clear, transparent process.

≥5%

Wetopian Expansion

This portion goes directly to early-stage Wetopian startups as a grant — if the law of the respective country allows it. Otherwise it is invested into those startups. If the amount is large enough, it may also support Wetopian growth-stage startups. All recipients are vetted by Wetopian Foundation.

Grant or Investment
≥4%

Environmental Nonprofits

This portion goes directly to nonprofit organisations that actively work to save the environment. Recipients must be vetted and approved by Wetopian Foundation to ensure accountability and real-world impact.

Direct Donation
≥5%

Uplifting the Underprivileged

Wetopian businesses reserve a percentage of jobs for underprivileged candidates and use this fund to train those candidates. Additionally, businesses may donate this money to educational non-profit organisations vetted by Wetopian Foundation.

Jobs + Training + Education
≤25%

Shareholders

Shareholders may take up to 25% of net profit as dividend each financial year. If they choose not to withdraw, the retained profit stays in the company to fund expansion. Shareholders may also choose to redistribute more than 75% — up to 100% — if they wish.

Dividend or Retained
Shareholder Flexibility

Shareholders Can Always Give More

The Wetopian model sets a minimum for redistribution — not a ceiling. Shareholders who believe in the movement can choose to redistribute an even greater share of profits.

Retained net profit that is not withdrawn as dividend remains in the company and can be used to expand the existing business — creating more jobs, serving more customers, and generating more profit to share.

This flexibility means Wetopian businesses remain competitive and attractive to purpose-driven investors while never compromising on their core commitment.

75%+
Minimum redistributionThe mandatory floor — at least 75% of net profit must be shared with all stakeholders combined.
80%+
Mission-first optionShareholders who want to amplify impact can choose to redistribute 80%, keeping 20% or less.
90%+
High-impact optionOnly 10% or less retained by shareholders — maximum benefit flows to customers, workers, and communities.
100%
Full redistributionShareholders may choose to take no dividend and redistribute all profit among the other stakeholders.
Conditions

Profit Sharing Conditions

Profit sharing applies under the following conditions. These protect the integrity of the system and ensure only genuine stakeholders benefit.

Fiscal Year Limitation

Your investment is counted solely for the current Fiscal Year (FY). Profit sharing resets each year — purchases made in prior years do not carry forward to the next cycle.

Profitable Year Required

Profit sharing applies only if the company generates a net profit during the fiscal year. If the company records a loss, no profit distribution occurs for that cycle.

Eligibility Criteria

Profit sharing applies only if the investment qualifies under the company's profit-sharing eligibility criteria. Wetopia only shares profits with verified, legitimate entities — no anonymous or unverified parties.

Who Qualifies

Profits are shared only with the following types of entities:

IndividualsWetopian BusinessesGovernment OrganisationsNon-profit OrganisationsEducational InstitutionsCharitable OrganisationsCo-operatives
