Default 10 × $10 Standard → $84.10 keep

You type every percent. This walkthrough is the first-paint arithmetic, not a payout.

Gross = 10 × $10 = $100.00 (10 payments)
Platform = $100 × 10% = $10.00
Processing = 10 × ($0.29 + $0.30) = 10 × $0.59 = $5.90
iOS IAP = $0 (optional %; default 0)
Currency conversion = $0 (typed 2.5% line; default 0)
Payout fees = $0 · tax buffer = $0
KEEP = 100 − 10.00 − 5.90 = $84.10

US card/Apple Pay and PayPal US are 2.9% + $0.30 per payment on the fee overview (fetched as published). Confirm on the dashboard.

The formula — you type every percent

gross = patrons × pledge $
platform$ = gross × (platform % ÷ 100)
processing$ = payments × (pledge $ × processing % ÷ 100 + processing $)
iOS IAP$ = gross × (iOS IAP % ÷ 100)
conversion$ = gross × (conversion % ÷ 100)
KEEP = gross − platform$ − processing$ − iOS IAP$ − conversion$ − payout $ − tax buffer$

Payments default equal patrons (one payment each). Processing is per payment, not once on the month.
