Creating a correct budget for your Crowdfunding Campaign is one of the most important things, and platform fees are crucial to consider since that fees can add up. That’s why I’ve created this free online tool: the Kickstarter Fees Calculator!
Did you know? Kickstarter charges you a flat fee of 5% of all the funds raised, and the payment processing fee is an additional 3%, plus $0.20 per transaction. You can learn more about their fees and pricing here.
So, let’s get to it. Fill in the fields in the following free calculator to know how much you would be paying in Kickstarter’s fees.
