When to Use a 2:5 Ratio

Real-World Example
A creator and a platform split $1,000 in subscription revenue at 2:5. The creator gets $285.71 and the platform takes $714.29 for handling distribution, billing, and discovery.
Our take: A 2:5 split means the smaller party gets less than 30%. Before agreeing, calculate the absolute numbers — ${formatCurrency(200)} out of ${formatCurrency(700)} might feel fine, but ${formatCurrency(20000)} out of ${formatCurrency(70000)} stings more. Always think in dollars, not just percentages.
How We Calculated This

Verification: $285.71 + $714.29 = $1,000
