Buy Me a Coffee Fee Calculator

Buy Me a Coffee's published creator fee is a flat 5% platform cut on the money you receive. On top of that, the payment processor (Stripe or PayPal) takes its own fee — typically around 2.9% plus a small fixed amount per transaction. This calculator lets you set all three so you can see your net.

The platform fee, processing percentage, and fixed fee are all editable. We pre-fill the 5% platform cut Buy Me a Coffee publishes and a typical 2.9% + $0.30 processor fee, but rates change over time and vary by country and payout method, so confirm the latest figures on the official pricing page and adjust the inputs.

No. Amounts are treated as the same currency you enter (shown as USD), and changing the site language only changes how numbers are grouped and punctuated — it never converts the money into another currency.

No. The calculator runs entirely in your browser. The contribution amount, fee rates, and supporter count you type are never uploaded or stored on a server.
