Core Formula & Spreadsheet Expression Reference:
=SUMIFS(patreon_gross, SKU, A2) - VLOOKUP(A2, patreon_fees!A:D, 4, FALSE)

⚠️ Why Manual Formulas Fail at Scale: Manual spreadsheet formulas break on multi-row patreon substack adjustments, tiered fees, and CSV delimiter shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions for CreatorPayout Studio ❓

Everything you need to know about privacy, local memory execution, and buyouts.

Why am I losing nearly 20% of a $5/month Substack subscription when Substack says their fee is 10%?▼

Because three fees stack on every payment: Substack takes 10% ($0.50), Stripe takes 2.9% + $0.30 ($0.445), and Stripe Billing charges an extra 0.7% ($0.035) for recurring subscriptions. On a $5.00 monthly charge, $0.98 goes to fees—an effective 19.6% take rate.

At what subscriber count is it cheaper to leave Substack for Beehiiv or Ghost?▼

A flat-fee newsletter platform costing $99/month ($1,188/year) with 0% platform commission breaks even against Substack's 10% fee as soon as your gross subscription revenue hits $11,880/year—which is just 142 subscribers paying $7/month.

Why does converting monthly subscribers to an annual plan increase net margin even with a 2-month discount?▼

First, you only pay the $0.30 fixed Stripe fee once per year instead of 12 times ($3.30 saved per subscriber). Second, monthly subscribers churn at 5%–8% per month (~48% annual attrition), whereas annual subscribers lock in 12 months of cash flow upfront.

How does Apple's 30% iOS App Store fee affect Patreon creators?▼

New memberships purchased inside the Patreon iOS app are subject to Apple's 30% in-app purchase fee unless the creator either absorbs the 30% cut or enables price gross-up (raising an $8 tier to ~$11.50 on iOS, which reduces conversion). Routing followers to subscribe via mobile Safari/Chrome avoids the 30% Apple tax completely.

Why shouldn't creators offer a $2/month or $3/month micro-tier on standard Stripe rails?▼

Because Stripe's fixed $0.30 fee per transaction eats 15% of a $2.00 charge before percentage fees or platform cuts—leaving you with less than 72 cents on the dollar. Always bundle low-price tiers into annual or quarterly billing.

Does CreatorPayout Studio upload our subscriber emails or Stripe payout CSVs?▼

Never. All fee stack calculations, churn simulations, and CSV exports run 100% locally in your browser RAM.
