Key things to know
- Audiences who visit your page have your tiers priced in their choice of supported currencies. Patreon converts your tier prices into the audience’s preferred currency. Visit this help article for more information: Patreon’s supported currencies
- When receiving a pledge in a different currency than your payout currency, Patreon charges you a 2.5% currency conversion fee.
- Existing patrons who are already paying in your payout currency are not required to change anything at all.
How your tier prices are converted
In order to determine the prices to display in other currencies, we use current and historical exchange rates to arrive at an average exchange rate for each currency. After using that average rate to convert to a new currency, we add a 4.5% buffer to protect creators against potential currency fluctuations and then round up to the nearest 50 cents (USD), with the exception of SEK NOK and DKK where we round up to the nearest whole number, so that we show patrons a price with round numbers. The resulting price is what we display on your page.
Our price books below show how some common tier prices will be priced in other currencies. Patreon updates the price books if the exchange rate for any of our supported currencies has changed significantly, but we aim to keep changes to a minimum in order to maintain stable pricing. Our goal is to update the Price Book about every 6-12 months, depending on when large exchange rate fluctuations occur.

Preview Tier Prices
You can preview your tier prices in other currencies in the tier editor by clicking the preview link right below your tier price.
Previewing your page in different currencies
You can preview your public page and tiers in any of the available currencies. To do so, from your Creator Page click the button to view your public page. Scroll to the footer to view a Currency Selector next to the Region Selector, clicking the Currency Selector will allow you to choose which currency your page is previewed in. This is only visible to you and will not change any other creator or patron settings.
Earnings and Exchange rates
Patreon charges creators a 2.5% currency conversion fee on all patron payments made in a currency other than your payout currency. This fee will be reversed on any payments that are refunded to patrons. All fees will be calculated based on your payout currency.
For example, let’s say your payout currency is Euros and a patron pays in USD. You set your tier price at 5 EUR, and that gets converted to $6 USD for patrons in the US, inclusive of the 4.5% buffer and rounding up to the nearest 50 cents. When a patron signs up, their $6 gets converted to Euros in order to put it in your creator balance using the previous day’s exchange rate. Let’s say it gets converted to 5.40 Euros. We then calculate the 2.5% currency conversion fee and Patreon’s platform fee on the 5.40 Euros.
To make your earnings easier to track, creators who use this feature will also have access to a new CSV download in their Earnings dashboard. This will be a detailed earnings report at a transaction level which will include a breakdown of the patron payment, creator share, currency conversion rate, and more.
Your Dashboards
Patron Relationship Manager will display the patron’s currency in their pledge amount. This is also detailed in the individual patron information, but each patron’s Lifetime Value and the amount you receive is shown in your currency. Similarly, when you download your CSV report from the Patron Relationship Manager, this will show amounts in your payout currency.
For more currency detail, you now have access to a CSV in your Income Dashboard with a row per patron payment breaking out basic earnings information, plus:
- Patron amount and currency charged
- Patron tax amount/currency
- Daily exchange rate
- Creator earnings
- Currency conversion fee
To download this CSV, head to your Earnings dashboard and then in the top right of the screen click the “Download Detail CSV” button.

Frequently Asked Questions
In order to determine the prices to display in other currencies, we’ve used current and historical exchange rates to develop a conversion table. When we convert a tier price to a new currency, we add a 4.5% buffer to protect creators against potential currency fluctuations, and then round up to the nearest 50 cents so that we show patrons a price with round numbers
We will evaluate exchange rates on an ongoing basis. If there is a major change in exchange rates that causes our converted prices to be unfair to creators or patrons, we will update our converted prices.
What happens to the difference once it’s rounded?
The rounding difference goes to the creator.
Who pays currency conversion fees?
This fee is to cover the cost of Patreon handling the currency conversion. Currency conversion fees are commonly charged by any company converting currency such as payment processors, banks, or other platforms that process payments as part of their business, for example Etsy, or PayPal.
I’m not in the US and Paypal/Payoneer already charge a conversion fee. Will I be subject to both fees?
For creators in the UK and EU who are interested in switching their payout currency, in order to avoid being subject to additional conversion fees on your balance, we’d recommend waiting to opt in until we roll out the ability for creators to change their payout currency to GBP and EUR. We expect this to be available in the next couple of months.
Will I be notified if a current patron changes their currency?
To avoid inundating creators with notifications, we do not notify you when a patron changes their currency. You can check the currency choice of your patron in Patron Relationship Manager by downloading the .csv available to you.
How will my audience and patrons find out about newly available currencies?
We recommend letting your audience know about the ability to pledge in their local currency where supported. We’ve compiled some suggested messaging you can use to share a post with existing patrons, as well as some suggestions for how to message this across your socials.
Sample post or message copy Post title: Pledging in your local currency
For those of you outside of these support currencies, you’ll continue to see your pledge priced in my currency. |
