What you actually net on YouTube, Twitch, Patreon, Substack, or OnlyFans — after the platform cut AND the processing layer nobody advertises. Computes a creator’s real monthly payout after every fee layer on five platforms. Platform fees drift constantly and general AI quotes stale ones — Patreon moved new creators to a flat 10% on 4 Aug 2025 (models still recite the old 5/8/12 tiers), Twitch restructured its split into Plus Points in 2024, OnlyFans changed its payout minimum in Apr 2026. And the advertised "platform cut" is never the whole story: payment processing adds 3–7 points on the subscription platforms, and the per-transaction fixed fee makes small pledges dramatically more expensive — a $3 Patreon pledge loses about 8% to processing alone, a $50 pledge about 3.5%. This tool computes the all-in take rate, which no advertised number states.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| platform | string | no | Platform Each platform has a completely different fee structure — this decides everything below. |
| monthlyGross | number | no | Monthly gross platform revenue ($) Before ANY cut. For YouTube: the ad revenue allocated to your videos (for Shorts, your allocation from the creator pool). For subscription platforms: total pledges/subs at list price. |
| youtubeStream | string | no | YouTube revenue stream YouTube only — ignored for other platforms. Shorts revenue is 45% of an allocation from a shared creator pool (computed after music licensing), so the allocation itself varies before this split applies. |
| twitchSplit | string | no | Twitch sub split tier Twitch only. Plus Points come from paid subs sustained over 3 months: Tier 1 = 1 point, Tier 2 = 2, Tier 3 = 6; gifted subs and Prime subs do NOT count. 100 points unlocks 60%, 300 points unlocks 70%, with a 12-month rate lock once qualified. |
| patreonPlan | string | no | Patreon fee plan Patreon only. Pages created after 4 Aug 2025 pay a flat 10%. Older pages keep their legacy 5/8/12% plan — but unpublishing your page permanently converts you to 10%. It is a one-way door. |
| avgTransaction | number | no | Average pledge / sub size ($) Patreon and Substack charge processing per transaction, so the average pledge size changes the all-in rate. Patreon pledges of $3 or less use the micro rate (5% + $0.10) instead of the standard 2.9% + $0.30. |
