How the estimate works
The calculator multiplies each entered tier price by its entered patron count, then subtracts the selected platform fee and a modeled processing fee for every payment. For USD payouts on the standard plan, Patreon lists 2.9% + $0.30 for cards, Apple Pay, and US PayPal or Venmo, and 3.9% + $0.30 for non-US PayPal or Venmo.
Eligible legacy Pro and Pro + Merch plans use Patreon's published micropayment rate at $3 or less: 5% + $0.10 for cards, Apple Pay, and US PayPal or Venmo, or 6% + $0.10 for non-US PayPal or Venmo. Payments over $3 use the standard rate.
Eligible Founders creators on original USD processing use 1.6% + $0.30 for cards or Apple Pay and 2.65% + $0.28 for PayPal or Venmo. Patreon says a Founders creator who changed payout currency retains the 5% platform fee but becomes subject to standard processing rates, so the calculator provides separate Founders selections.
The annualized result is the modeled monthly net multiplied by 12. The churn scenario rounds patrons × the entered churn percentage to a whole patron. The target solver divides the gap between the entered target and current modeled net by the current weighted net per patron, then rounds up; it adds no growth, conversion, or churn benchmark. Calculations use the exact validated inputs, while displayed currency is rounded to cents.
The estimate does not include currency conversion, payout fees, taxes on creator fees, refunds, shared payments, or iOS in-app purchase fees. Patreon says a 2.5% currency-conversion fee may apply when a member pays in a currency different from the creator's payout currency.

Answers limited to what this calculator can support
For creator pages published after August 4, 2025, and legacy pages republished after that date, Patreon currently lists a 10% standard platform fee. Eligible continuously published legacy pages may retain 5% Founders, 8% Pro, or 11% Pro + Merch pricing. Payment processing and conditional currency-conversion, payout, tax, refund, shared-payment, and iOS fees can change the actual payout.
Yes, but keep scenarios and actual payouts separate. Use the calculator for fee scenarios, then use the blank CSV to record each reporting period, gross membership revenue, fees, adjustments, and the net payout shown in your Patreon records. The page does not store, import, or verify tracker data.
For USD payouts, the selected plan and one member payment-method/location profile determine the modeled processing schedule. The standard plan uses the published standard rates; eligible Pro and Pro + Merch plans use legacy micropayment rates at $3 or less; and eligible Founders creators can select original Founders USD processing or standard processing after a payout-currency change. Actual payouts may contain a mix of member payment methods and locations, and Patreon says processing can be calculated on the total payment including applicable sales tax or VAT; those tax effects are not modeled here.
No. It includes the selected platform fee and modeled USD payment processing. Currency conversion, payout fees, taxes on creator fees, refunds, shared payments, and iOS in-app purchase fees are excluded because they depend on circumstances not entered here.
It divides the gap between your entered target and current modeled net revenue by the current weighted net revenue per patron, then rounds up to a whole patron. It assumes the same entered tier mix, plan, and payment profile; it does not supply a growth, conversion, or churn forecast.
