About Patreon Fee Calculator
Patreon takes a platform percentage of what patrons pledge (8% on the common Pro plan) plus payment processing of roughly 2.9% + $0.30 per pledge. Enter your monthly pledge total to see both fees and your net; all rates are editable to match your plan or the higher micropayment processing rate on small pledges.
Common uses

- Compare Patreon's total cut against Ko-fi or Fourthwall
- See how many $3 pledges are lost to micropayment processing
Limitations
- Rates are editable defaults based on publicly listed standard fees — always confirm current fees with the platform
- Payout transfer fees and currency conversion are charged separately from these per-pledge fees.
