How the calculator works

LoyalFans' terms state: "Our fee is 20% of the total Fan Payment and will be deducted from each Fan Payment" (LoyalFans Terms, Creator Payouts). Its payout page lists 80% for creators on live streaming, subscriptions, video store sales and messaging (LoyalFans payout page). The calculator applies that fee to what your paying subscribers spend, subtracts any agency commission, and shows what's left.

  • Fans spend = paying subscribers × (subscription price + video store and message sales per subscriber + tips per subscriber).
  • LoyalFans fee = fans spend × 20%.
  • You take home = fans spend − LoyalFans fee − agency commission.
