Creator earnings calculator
Estimate your fees before choosing a platform.
A percentage alone does not tell you what you will keep. Compare an identical scenario and separate platform fees, payments, plans and expenses.
A clear offer. One useful link. A next step.
At a glance
The answer in a few words
To estimate proceeds after platform fees, multiply the paid price by the number of purchases, then deduct the fee calculated per purchase. Add fixed fees and the compared option's plan. The result is not net profit: payment fees, taxes, refunds and expenses still need reviewing.

What remains after the platform fee?
Simulate content sales or memberships over the same period. This is neither net profit nor a sales forecast. It does not apply to tips or Booking.
These references cover platform fees only. Patreon standard applies to new pages published after 4 August 2025. Ko-fi and Beacons have other plans. Adjust rates and fees if your terms differ.
€200.00 gross sales. Example: €10.00 VIFLY fee and €20.00 for a 10% option.
Do not compare only these results: separately add each service's payment fees, any referral fees, refunds, currency conversion and taxes. LinkHub and Booking plans are not included.
The criteria that matter
What the calculator measures and excludes
| Item | Included | Check separately |
|---|---|---|
| Gross sales | Paid price after discounts × purchase count. | Actual demand, refunds and offer prices. |
| Platform fee | VIFLY content rate and the selected rate for the other option. | Exact calculation base, legacy plan and transaction type. |
| Other option's fees | Entered fixed fees per purchase and plan cost. | Payment, currency conversion, taxes and options not entered. |
Why these results are not net profit
The simulator isolates platform fees and the amounts you enter. It predicts neither sales nor profitability. To assess your actual result, also account for expenses, payment fees, refunds, taxes and obligations related to your activity.
The Patreon, Ko-fi and Beacons references apply to the plans identified in the form. They do not cover every plan or transaction type. If your fees are in another currency, enter your own conversion assumption before comparing in euros.
Choose based on the customer journey, not just fees
A suitable platform also needs to explain your offer, make purchasing straightforward and provide the expected access. Compare essential features before deciding. With VIFLY, LinkHub, Booking and tips have terms separate from the content rate.
Before you get started
Your questions answered.
Does the calculator guarantee the displayed earnings?
No. The purchase count is your assumption. The calculator does not measure demand or include every fee; it guarantees neither sales nor profit.
Why calculate the fee per purchase?
VIFLY's content rate is applied to the paid amount per purchase with rounding, then the fees are added together. Applying a rate only to the total can produce a small difference.
Can I compare tips or Booking?
Not with the content rate used here. Check the terms specific to tips and Booking, together with applicable payment fees.
