Who does this plan apply to?
This policy is effective for creators who publish their creator page after August 4, 2025. If you are a creator who publishes your page on or before August 4, 2025, you will keep your existing platform pricing — this new plan will not apply to you, and you will not see a change in price as a result of this change. If you are a creator on a legacy platform plan and unpublish your creator page, or if Patreon unpublishes it for any reason, your plan will switch to the standard 10% pricing upon republishing.
What’s included in the 10% platform fee?
The standard 10% platform fee gives you access to all of Patreon’s core features, including:
-
- Hosted creator page
- Monthly and annual memberships
- Digital product sales (one-time purchases)
- Video hosting (up to 100 hours/month if you have paying fans)
- Community tools: chats, polls, comments
- Audience and growth insights
Payment processing rates
All creators on the standard 10% plan have standard processing rates, which vary by:
- Payment method (e.g., credit card, PayPal)
- Member’s location
- Currency

-

Payment processing fee
Varies by currency (e.g., 2.9% + $0.30 USD) standard payment process rate

Learn more about how sales work in our selling one-time purchases guide.
Currency conversion fees
A 2.5% currency conversion fee applies to any payment made in a currency different from your payout currency.
This fee is:
- Calculated on the full payment (including tax)
- Refunded if the member is refunded
- Shown under the Payment Fees column in your Earnings dashboard
You will receive your portion of membership payments in your payout currency based on the average exchange rate from the day before the payment was successfully processed.
Where supported and as applicable, we automatically convert the prices of offerings and memberships into a member’s local currency based on a currency conversion rate that may be determined at our sole discretion. You can learn more about how tiers are converted into other currencies.
If a paid member pays you in your payout currency, then there is no currency conversion fee applied.
Taxes applied to creator fees
Where required by law, Patreon collects VAT, GST, or sales tax on platform fees. These taxes:
- Are based on your business location and local regulations
- Are shown as a separate line item
Visit our Taxes on creator fees article to learn more about where Patreon applies taxes on fees and how it may affect you.
Payout transaction fees
Funds in your account balance already reflect the deduction of your platform fee, payment processing fees, and currency conversion fees. Patreon deducts a payout transaction fee when your balance is transferred from your Patreon account.
Your payout fee is not listed in the breakdown of fees within your creator earnings dashboard; however, you may find the payout fee for your payout method and currency of choice in the tables below.

iOS In-App purchase fees
All creators still using legacy billing will be required to switch to subscription billing by November 1, 2026. If you'd like one-to-one assistance during this transition, you must contact Support via your settings by September 30th, 2026.
Subscription billing offers a more predictable model for you and your members, and unlocks features like Free trials, Autopilot, Gifting, Discounts, and Tier Repricing.
Except for US customers who are purchasing memberships (see below), Apple requires that all digital purchases (including memberships and digital goods) made through the Patreon iOS app use their in-app purchase system, which comes with a 30% fee on the prices of these sales. Patreon does not charge any additional payment processing fees on iOS transactions, but our platform fee still applies.

U.S. customers
Due to ongoing legal developments, iOS users in the United States do not have to use Apple’s in-app purchase (IAP) flow. Instead, they have the option to complete purchases directly through Patreon’s mobile web checkout and are not subject to the 30% IAP fee. This experience reflects the outcome of the Epic v. Apple ruling, which prohibits Apple from blocking alternative payment methods
