Membership
Always modeled at a 5% Fourthwall platform fee. Pro does not remove the membership fee in this slice.
Fourthwall Fee Calculator
Model how much a Fourthwall creator keeps from memberships, digital products, and donations. This page uses the public 5% / 0% platform-fee rules described in Fourthwall pricing copy, then layers an editable payment-processing assumption on top.
Memberships: 5% platform fee
Digital products: 5% on Free, 0% on Pro
Donations: 0% platform fee
Default processing: 2.9% + $0.30
Use this when you want a fast answer to four real Fourthwall questions: how much you keep per membership sale, whether Free vs Pro changes digital-product take-home, what donations really cost after payment processing, and how many monthly transactions you need to hit a target net.
Merch/product-catalog margins are out of scope. This tool does not model merch costs, shipping, fulfillment, or product-catalog margin math. Use a merch profit calculator separately if that is your actual question.
Fourthwall inputs
Choose the revenue mode you care about, keep the public fee rule in view, then edit processing assumptions if your provider or region differs.
Processing assumption note: 2.9% + $0.30 is only the default US card baseline. Fees vary by provider and region, so edit those two fields if your real stack differs.

FAQ for Fourthwall creators
How much do I keep from a Fourthwall membership sale?
In this v1, memberships always carry a 5% Fourthwall platform fee. Your take-home then subtracts the editable payment-processing rate and fixed fee on top.
How does Free vs Pro change digital-product take-home?
That is the main plan difference modeled here: Free keeps the 5% platform fee for digital products, while Pro removes it. The calculator shows the exact dollar delta at your own price and volume.
If I mostly receive donations, what actually costs me money?
Donation mode keeps the Fourthwall platform fee at 0%, so the result isolates payment-processing drag. This is useful when your real question is “what do card fees actually take out of tips?”
Why is merch missing?
Because merch/product-catalog margin math needs product cost, shipping, fulfillment, and sometimes variant-level assumptions. That is a separate problem, so this page keeps the branded wedge narrow and trustworthy.
