Fee rates are editable defaults — always verify current fees on Patreon's own fee page, since platforms change rates. FeeStack computes the math; you set the rate.

New vs. legacy creator plans
Patreon's platform fee depends on when you joined and which plan you're on. Creators onboarded from August 2025 onward default to the 10% tier used here. Legacy creators on older Lite/Pro/Premium plans may pay as little as 5–8% — check your creator dashboard for your exact rate and adjust the fee % field accordingly.
FAQ
Why is my Patreon fee different from this calculator?
If you joined Patreon before August 2025, you may be on a legacy plan with a lower platform fee (5%, 8%, or 10% depending on tier). Adjust the Fee % field to match your dashboard.
Does Patreon charge per-pledge or monthly?
The percentage and fixed fee apply per individual pledge/charge, not as one lump monthly deduction — this calculator models a single pledge.
