This article will go over the details and rates of payout or transfer fees that a creator pays. These are the fees that are associated with transferring your earned creator funds from your Patreon account balance to your specified payout method, which you will receive in your selected billing currency.

Transfer Fees
Your Patreon account balance already reflects the removal of your platform fee and payment processing fees, which vary based on your patrons’ method of payment. When you manually withdraw your balance or have Patreon do an automatic withdraw on the 5th of the month, an additional fee is removed based on your payout method.
Below are the fees associated with each currency:
US Dollars ($)
- US creators receiving payout via direct deposit: $0.25 USD per payout
- US creators receiving payout via PayPal ($10 minimum to be able to pay out): 1% of the amount transferred with a minimum of $0.25, capped at $20.00 USD
- Non-US creators receiving payout in dollars via Payoneer ($25 minimum to be able to pay out): $1.00 USD per payout to your Payoneer account. Option to withdraw funds from your Payoneer account to your local bank account or the Payoneer Prepaid Debit MasterCard®, or $3.00 USD per global bank transfer.*
