Patreon Revenue Calculator

A Patreon Revenue Calculator estimates your net monthly and annual earnings from Patreon memberships after deducting platform fees and payment processing costs. Enter your patron tiers (prices and counts), select your Patreon plan (Lite, Pro, or Premium), and choose your billing model (monthly or per-creation) to see your projected take-home pay.

Patreon charges a platform fee based on your plan: Lite (5% of membership revenue), Pro (8%), or Premium (12%). Additionally, Stripe payment processing fees of 2.9% + $0.30 are deducted from each patron transaction. Lite plan requires no monthly subscription fee while Pro and Premium plans are free to get started. Our calculator shows the exact dollar impact of each fee.

Monthly billing charges patrons once per month regardless of how many posts you publish. Per-creation billing charges patrons each time you publish new content (up to a monthly maximum you set). Per-creation can generate more revenue for high-output creators but may have higher churn. Our calculator adjusts revenue projections based on your selected billing model.

Lite (5% fee) is best for creators just starting out with lower revenue. Pro (8% fee) offers the best balance of features and fees for most established creators. Premium (12% fee) provides the most features including team management and analytics. Use our plan comparison chart to see the dollar difference between plans for your specific patron base.

Chargebacks occur when a patron disputes a charge with their bank. We apply your chargeback rate as a percentage of net revenue to give a realistic estimate of actual payouts. Typical chargeback rates for Patreon creators range from 0.5% to 3%, depending on your niche and patron demographics.

Yes! Our calculator automatically shows net payouts for all three Patreon plans in the plan comparison section. The selected plan is highlighted, and you can see exactly how much more (or less) you would earn under each plan with your current patron base.
