Membership tier price fee gross-up calculator.
Enter the all-in fee percentage and fixed fee, then the amount you want to keep from up to three tiers.
Price = (amount to keep + fixed fee) / (1 - percentage fee). With a 12.9% fee and $0.30 fixed, keeping $3.00 means charging $3.79.

Worked example
The starting fee is 10% platform + 2.9% processing = 12.9%, plus $0.30. To keep $3.00: ($3.00 + $0.30) / (1 - 0.129) = $3.79. Rounded up to $4.00, you keep $3.18. To keep $8.00 you would charge $9.53, and $20.00 needs $23.31.
How it works
A fee of p percent plus f fixed means a payment of price P leaves P - P x p - f. Solving for the price that leaves a target K gives P = (K + f) / (1 - p). The whole-dollar row rounds that price up so you never keep less than you wanted, and shows what you keep at the rounded price.
The 12.9% and $0.30 starting figures are an example: Patreon's pricing page says 10% plus processing, and Stripe's Canadian pricing page shows 2.9% + CA$0.30 as its standard domestic card rate (Canadian dollars). Neither platform promises your exact fees, so replace them with your own. This tool says nothing about what price members will accept.

FAQ
How do I price a tier so I keep a set amount?
Add your fixed fee to the amount you want to keep, then divide by one minus the percentage fee written as a decimal.
Why not just add the fee percentage to the price?
Because the fee is charged on the higher price too. Adding 12.9% to $3.00 still leaves you short; dividing by 0.871 does not.
Are 12.9% and $0.30 correct for my platform?
They are an example built from Patreon's 10% and a common card rate. Use the all-in figures from your own statements.
Should I charge exactly the result?
You may prefer a rounder price. The whole-dollar row rounds up, so you keep at least your target.
