How CAKE.PAD Taxes Work in Overflow Sales – With Example
Taxes are only charged if the CAKE.PAD event is oversubscribed
Oversubscription = Total deposits by all users > Raise goal amount.
Tax is only deducted from participants' excess committed funds. No fees are paid by the CAKE.PAD partner project.
The CAKE.PAD partner project receives 100% of its targeted raise amount.
CAKE.PAD taxes are collected in CAKE, and 100% of it will be burned.
Fees are based on the total subscription rate of the pool (% of raise goal):
Oversubscription rate <> Fee Tier
≥ 0x
1.00%
≥ 50x
0.80%
≥ 100x
0.60%
≥ 150x
0.50%
≥ 200x
0.40%
≥ 250x
0.30%
≥ 300x
0.25%

0.20%

Time period – When is tax charged
Tax is charged at the end of the CAKE.PAD event, when the user redeems their allocation.
Even if a user subscribes early (e.g., when the subscription is 30% of the raise goal), the final tax is based on the final pool oversubscription level.
Example: If the pool ends up at 50x over-subscribed, the applicable tax is the 50x tier (0.8%).
Calculation Steps
User allocation = % of total CAKE.PAD partner token pool the user receives
user_allocation = user_deposit_amount / totalAmountPool
User pay amount = Portion of the user’s deposit used to redeem CAKE.PAD partner tokens
user_pay_amount = raisingAmountPool * user_allocation
Refund amount = Excess from the user’s deposit not used for CAKE.PAD partner token purchase
refund_amount = user_deposit_amount - user_pay_amount
Tax amount = Deduction applied on the user’s refunded amount
Fee tier is based on the % of raise goal (see table above).
tax_amount = fee tier * refund_amount
Final output for the user
1. Token allocation = user_allocation * totalTokensOffered 2. User tax amount = tax_amount 3. final_refund = refund_amount - tax_amount (if applicable, else = refund_amount)
Numerical Example
Target raise (raisingAmountPool): 100 CAKE
Your deposit (user_deposit_amount): 10 CAKE
Total deposits incl. of Your deposit (totalAmountPool): 5,100 CAKE (51x subscribed = 5,100% of raise goal, implies 50x oversubscription rate)
Corresponding fee tier = 0.80% (based on the tax rate table above)
Steps:
user_allocation = 10 / 5,100 = 0.00196 (0.196% pool allocation)
user_pay_amount = 100 × 0.00196 = 0.196 CAKE
refund_amount = 10 − 0.196 = 9.804 CAKE
tax_amount = 9.804 × 0.008 = 0.0784 CAKE
final_refund = 9.804 − 0.0784 = ~9.72 CAKE
Final User received amounts
Token allocation: 0.196 CAKE worth of CAKE.PAD partner tokens
Final refund: ~9.72 CAKE (from 10 CAKE deposit − 0.196 CAKE for token allocation − 0.0784 CAKE tax)
