Which WordPress themes make over $10K/month now?

Why is it so hard to tell which WordPress themes make $10K a month?

WordPress theme revenue is surprisingly hard to verify because the numbers people usually quote—active installations, lifetime sales and company revenue—do not tell us how much one theme is making today.

ThemeForest gives us the cleanest data. Its latest complete monthly ranking shows recent unit sales for individual products, and its current weekly bestseller page lets us check whether those sales are still holding up. That gives us something much better than lifetime totals.

Direct-sale themes are trickier. Divi, Astra, GeneratePress, Kadence and Blocksy sell outside ThemeForest, and their companies generally do not publish theme-level monthly revenue. Some also bundle the theme with plugins, AI products, templates or other subscriptions. We can still identify likely $10K businesses, but the confidence level has to be different.

There is one more wrinkle. A $69 ThemeForest sale does not mean the developer earns $69. Envato's current rules include a $12 buyer fee for WordPress themes and a 50% author fee on the remaining item price. Once we account for that, the $10K club gets much smaller.

Which WordPress themes definitely make over $10K a month now?

Six ThemeForest WordPress themes currently clear $10,000 a month with enough public data for us to say it confidently: Avada, WoodMart, Flatsome, Betheme, Uncode and Salient.

ThemeForest's latest complete monthly ranking gives us both sales volumes and prices. We then apply Envato's current WordPress buyer fee and 50% author fee. The estimate excludes taxes, refunds, extended licenses and paid support renewals, so it is deliberately conservative and standardized.

The current weekly ranking backs up the result. Avada recently sold 527 copies in one week, WoodMart 250, Flatsome 135, Uncode 118, Salient 105 and Betheme 87. All six remain around or above the weekly pace needed to support more than $10,000 a month under today's fee structure.

Theme	Latest complete monthly sales	Customer spend	Approx. author revenue
Avada	2,200	$151,800	$62,700
WoodMart	1,200	$82,800	$34,200
Flatsome	591	$34,869	$13,889
Betheme	393	$27,117	$11,201
Uncode	472	$27,848	$11,092
Salient	452	$27,120	$10,848

Is Avada still making serious money today?

Avada is still the clearest $10K-a-month WordPress theme we can verify, with estimated monthly author revenue above $60,000 from ordinary ThemeForest sales alone.

Its latest complete month brought roughly 2,200 purchases at $69, equal to about $151,800 spent by customers. Under Envato's current fee structure, our standardized estimate leaves ThemeFusion with roughly $62,700 before taxes and other adjustments.

The fresher weekly data looks just as healthy. ThemeForest currently shows 527 Avada sales in a week. A straight four-week comparison would already put it above 2,100 sales, very close to the previous monthly figure.

Avada's 1.07 million lifetime sales could easily tempt us to confuse past success with present demand. The current numbers remove that problem: buyers are still showing up at a rate of several hundred every week.

Avada could lose most of that volume and remain above $10,000 a month. At its $69 price, roughly 351 ordinary monthly purchases are enough under the current fee structure. Avada is doing around six times that in the latest complete month.

Is WoodMart actually catching Avada?

WoodMart is clearly the strongest current challenger to Avada, although Avada still sells roughly twice as many copies.

WoodMart recorded about 1,200 sales in ThemeForest's latest complete monthly ranking at $69 each. We estimate that at around $34,200 in author revenue. Its recent weekly count of 250 sales also puts it on a pace of roughly 1,000-plus monthly purchases if demand stays similar.

The interesting part is how quickly WoodMart has climbed relative to its age and lifetime total. It has around 119,000 cumulative ThemeForest sales, while Avada has more than one million and Flatsome roughly 270,000. Yet today's sales ranking puts WoodMart comfortably in second place.

WoodMart is a good example of why lifetime bestseller lists can mislead. Its historical footprint is much smaller than several older themes, while its current commercial activity is much stronger.

Are Flatsome, Betheme, Uncode and Salient safely over $10K a month?

Flatsome is comfortably above $10K for now, while Betheme, Uncode and Salient are much closer to the cutoff and could move below it after a weak month.

Flatsome sold 591 copies in the latest complete month at $59. That works out to roughly $13,900 for the author using the current Envato formula. Its recent weekly sales count is 135, which remains consistent with roughly the same monthly range.

Betheme sits lower at an estimated $11,200. Uncode comes in around $11,100, while Salient is around $10,850. Their margins over the threshold are therefore only about $1,200, $1,100 and $850 respectively.

Current weekly sales still support their inclusion. Betheme recently sold 87 copies, Uncode 118 and Salient 105. At their respective prices, those figures remain around the pace needed to stay above $10K.

Flatsome looks like a fairly solid member of the group. Betheme, Uncode and Salient are in too, but their position can change quickly.

Which famous WordPress themes no longer clear $10K a month on ThemeForest?

Enfold, The7, Newspaper, Impreza and Bridge still sell meaningful volume today, but their ordinary ThemeForest sales currently fall short of $10,000 a month in estimated author revenue.

Enfold is the closest interesting case. Its 314 monthly sales at $59 generated roughly $18,500 in customer spending, yet the estimated amount reaching the author is only about $7,400 after the current marketplace fees.

The7 produced roughly $18,600 in checkout value from 270 sales at $69, translating to around $7,700 for the author. Newspaper lands around $6,700, Impreza around $7,000 and Bridge around $6,800.

These are still successful themes. The public price and sales counter simply make it very easy to overestimate what the creator actually keeps.

Theme	Monthly sales	Customer spend	Approx. author revenue
The7	270	$18,630	$7,695
Enfold	314	$18,526	$7,379
Impreza	244	$16,836	$6,954
Bridge	240	$16,560	$6,840
Newspaper	286	$16,874	$6,721

How many ThemeForest sales does a WordPress theme need to make $10K now?

A typical ThemeForest WordPress theme needs roughly 350 to 425 regular sales a month to put $10,000 into the author's account under Envato's current fees.

Envato currently charges a $12 fixed buyer fee on a regular WordPress theme license. It then takes a 50% author fee from the remaining item price.

For a $69 theme, $57 remains after the buyer fee and the author keeps roughly half, or $28.50. About 351 regular purchases therefore produce $10,000 before taxes.

At $59, the developer keeps roughly $23.50, so the threshold rises to about 426 sales. A $60 product earns around $24 per ordinary sale and needs roughly 417.

That calculation explains the sharp drop after Salient in today's ranking. Enfold's 314 monthly sales may look substantial, but a $59 theme needs roughly 112 more sales at that price to cross the line.

From the customer's side, a $59 ThemeForest theme needs roughly $25,000 in monthly checkout value before the author reaches $10,000.

Are WooCommerce themes taking over the high-revenue WordPress theme market?

WooCommerce themes are unusually strong among today's biggest sellers, with WoodMart and Flatsome occupying two of the top three spots on ThemeForest.

WoodMart alone generated around 1,200 monthly purchases, while Flatsome added 591. Combined, customers spent almost $118,000 on those two themes during the latest complete monthly period.

Their current weekly sales are still strong too: roughly 250 for WoodMart and 135 for Flatsome. No other explicitly WooCommerce-led products come close to WoodMart's current pace.

General-purpose products remain powerful, though. Avada is still number one overall, while Uncode, Salient and Betheme also clear our $10K threshold without being narrowly positioned as store themes.

The better reading is that paid WordPress themes are increasingly concentrated around commercial use cases where buyers can justify paying for better design and functionality. WooCommerce is one of the strongest of those use cases, which helps explain why WoodMart and Flatsome continue to sell at such unusual volumes.

Can lifetime sales tell us which WordPress themes make the most money today?

Lifetime WordPress theme sales are a weak guide to current revenue, and WoodMart versus The7 shows just how far the rankings can diverge.

The7 has accumulated well above 300,000 ThemeForest sales. WoodMart has only around 119,000. Yet the latest complete month shows roughly 1,200 WoodMart sales against only 270 for The7.

Betheme offers another good comparison. Its lifetime sales are also above 300,000, but current monthly volume is around 393. Avada remains exceptional because it leads both historically and today.

The gap becomes even clearer in the present weekly leaderboard. WoodMart recently sold 250 copies in one week while The7 sold 72 and Bridge 53. The old cumulative leaderboard tells us far more about who dominated WordPress themes over the past decade than who has the strongest business right now.

For a current revenue question, recent sales velocity deserves much more weight.

Which direct-sale WordPress themes probably make over $10K a month?

GeneratePress, Divi and Astra are highly likely to clear $10,000 a month commercially, while Kadence and Blocksy also look plausible; public data simply does not let us audit them with the same precision as ThemeForest products.

GeneratePress is one of the easier cases to frame. GP Premium currently costs $59 a year, renews annually and can be used on up to 500 sites. WordPress.org reports more than 500,000 active GeneratePress installations. GeneratePress would need only about 2,034 full-price GP Premium annual payments across an entire year to average $10,000 a month.

Two thousand paying accounts would represent well below 1% of its 500,000-plus free installation base. That does not prove current revenue because one license can cover many sites, old customers can have different pricing, and installations do not equal customers. Still, the commercial hurdle is tiny compared with GeneratePress's footprint.

Divi operates at another scale. Elegant Themes currently advertises roughly 975,000 Divi customers, an $89 annual Divi plan and a $249 lifetime option, alongside its much larger Pro ecosystem. Divi clearly belongs in a business generating far beyond $10,000 a month. What we cannot cleanly extract is how much of each month's cash belongs specifically to the theme rather than the builder, Divi Dash, AI, Cloud and other services.

Astra has more than one million active WordPress.org installations and sells Astra Pro alongside a large Brainstorm Force product ecosystem. Again, the commercial footprint makes a sub-$10K overall business extremely difficult to believe, while exact theme-only revenue remains private.

Kadence currently has more than 500,000 active installations, and Blocksy more than 300,000. Blocksy also sells annual Pro plans starting at $69, with higher tiers at $99 and $149. Both have enough distribution to make $10K a month plausible, but there is less evidence for us to call either one confirmed.

Theme	Our current judgment	Why
GeneratePress	Very likely over $10K/month	500K+ installs, $59 annual premium product
Divi	Almost certainly far over $10K/month	~975K customers, $89 annual and $249 lifetime offers
Astra	Almost certainly over $10K/month	1M+ active installs and established Pro business
Kadence	Probably over $10K/month	500K+ active installs, large commercial ecosystem
Blocksy	Plausible to likely	300K+ active installs, $69–$149 annual plans

Are new WordPress themes breaking into the $10K-a-month club?

ThemeForest's $10K-a-month tier is still dominated by old, established WordPress themes, and the sales drop below the leaders is steep.

After Avada, WoodMart, Flatsome, Uncode, Salient and Betheme, the latest complete monthly ranking falls to Enfold at 314 sales. Farther down, Porto sold about 150 copies, Houzez 115, XStore 95, Soledad 89 and JNews 84.

A new $59 theme would currently need around 426 ordinary monthly sales to reach our $10K author-revenue threshold. Most products outside the top handful are nowhere near that.

The current weekly ranking tells a similar story. Avada, WoodMart and Flatsome remain at the top, followed largely by names WordPress users have known for years. Recent launches can still have excellent months, especially when discounted, but we are not seeing a broad wave of new themes regularly replacing the old leaders at the top.

These days, reaching $10K through a marketplace appears to require more than launching a visually good template. Reviews, years of search visibility, demo libraries, WooCommerce compatibility, update history and an existing customer base all compound over time.

So which WordPress themes actually make over $10K a month now?

The clearest answer today is Avada, WoodMart, Flatsome, Betheme, Uncode and Salient on ThemeForest, with GeneratePress, Divi and Astra very likely joining them among independently sold themes.

Avada sits in a different league from the cutoff, at roughly $62,700 in estimated monthly author revenue from ordinary ThemeForest sales. WoodMart follows at around $34,200. Flatsome is around $13,900.

Betheme, Uncode and Salient round out the confirmed marketplace group at roughly $10,800 to $11,200 each. Their current weekly sales still support those monthly estimates, so we are not relying on a stale ranking.

GeneratePress looks highly likely to clear $10K given its 500,000-plus active installations and $59 annual premium product. Divi and Astra operate at an even larger scale, although bundling makes a clean theme-only figure impossible from public data. Kadence and Blocksy probably deserve to be watched, but we do not have enough evidence to put them in the same confidence tier.

Enfold, The7, Newspaper, Impreza and Bridge are the useful counterexamples. Thousands of dollars still flow through those products every month, but after applying Envato's current fees they sit well below $10,000 in estimated author receipts.

The market looks like a small, defensible group of $10K-plus WordPress themes rather than dozens of them. Avada and WoodMart are well ahead. Flatsome has a decent cushion. Betheme, Uncode and Salient are the borderline members worth rechecking regularly. Among direct sellers, Divi, Astra and GeneratePress are the strongest candidates, even though private sales data prevents the same level of verification.
