How Patreon Membership Income Works
Patreon charges creators a platform fee (5–12% depending on plan) plus a payment processing fee (~2.9% + $0.30 per transaction). Your actual net is roughly 85–92% of gross membership revenue.
Most Patreon revenue comes from the middle tier. Premium tiers convert only 5–10% of total patrons but generate disproportionate revenue — always include all three tiers.
