Fraction Kings Fees: What Creators Pay

Launching is free. You pay 5.44% only on money you actually collect, plus standard card processing. No monthly fees.

The Fee, in One Line

Fraction Kings takes 5.44% of each payment: a 4.44% platform fee plus a 1% convenience fee. It comes out of the payment automatically when a supporter pays, so there is nothing to invoice and nothing to pay up front.

Card processing is paid by your campaign's payout account. The fee is never charged on sales tax.

A Worked Example

Say 100 supporters each pay $100, so your campaign collects $10,000.

  • Fraction Kings fee (5.44%): $544
  • Card processing, estimated at a standard US rate of 2.9% plus 30 cents per payment: about $320
  • You keep about $9,136

What You Never Pay

  • Nothing to launch or build your page.
  • No monthly or subscription fee.
  • No fee on money you never collect.
  • No fee on sales tax.

When You Get Paid

Pay at checkout: your share of each pledge is yours as soon as it is paid and goes to your payout account once it is set up. All-or-nothing: pledges are charged and pay out when your funded campaign settles. Get It Now: downloads and passes pay right away, merch pays when it goes to the printer, and pre-orders pay half now and half when you add tracking. New creators wait 7 days per payout during their first 30 days or first $25K.

Merch Costs

Merch from the Merch Studio is printed on demand and shipped for you. You set the price, and the print and shipping cost comes out of each sale together with the fee. No inventory, no packing.
