Patreon's fee model has changed over time (membership vs monthly aggregation) and varies by creator plan, country and currency. Treat this as an estimate and always check Patreon's current fee page.
Fee model note
Patreon earns a platform fee on membership income and separate payment processing fees may apply per charge. Whether processing fees are passed to members depends on the creator's settings and plan. Defaults above (5% + 2.9% + $0.30) are common approximations — edit them to match your situation.
How Patreon fees work
A creator sees the membership money before fees; Patreon deducts its platform percentage and, where applicable, payment processing per transaction before the payout lands. Actual take-home therefore varies with your plan, the members' card networks, currency conversion and your country.
