Example
iTunes charge: 0,99 / track

iTunes payout: 0,70 / track
We charge you (30% of 0,70): 0,21 / track
You get (70% of 0,70): 0,49 / track

Attention: Please check other competing distributor's rates closely. Some advertise commission rates like 15% or less. They indeed charge you 15% of what they get, but they don't get it directly from iTunes, but from some 3rd party distributor they partner with who also gets his share. Their calculation might look like this:

Example
iTunes charge: 0,99 / track
iTunes payout: 0,70 / track
3rd Party gets (20% of 0,70): 0,20 / track
Other distributor gets (80% of 0,70): 0,50 / track
Other distributor charges you (15% of 0,50): 0,075 / track
You get (70%): 0,425 / track

Always check what you will get exactly.
