What percentage does Discord take from server subscriptions?

Discord charges a 10% platform fee on all server subscription revenue. The remaining 90% goes to the server owner after payment processing. This is competitive compared to Patreon (8–12%) and significantly less than Twitch subscriptions (50% cut for non-partners).

When does Discord pay out server subscription revenue?

Discord pays out server subscription revenue monthly, approximately 30 days after the subscription month ends. You need at least a minimum payout threshold (typically $100) to receive payment. Below that, earnings accumulate until the threshold is met.

What are the Discord Server Subscription tier prices?

Discord allows server owners to set three subscription tiers at $2.99, $4.99, and $9.99/month. Members choose which tier to subscribe to. You receive 90% of each subscriber's payment. Multiple tiers allow you to offer different levels of perks and reach different budget segments of your audience.

How many Discord subscribers do you need to earn $500/month?

At the $4.99 tier (most popular), you receive $4.49 per subscriber after Discord's 10% fee. To earn $500/month, you need approximately 112 subscribers. At the $9.99 tier, you'd need about 56 subscribers for the same income. Tier choice affects both conversion rate and per-subscriber value.

Work backwards from your income goal to find the subscriber count you need at each tier.

Server subscriptions work best when combined with active community value: exclusive channels, early access, behind-the-scenes content, and direct access to you. Subscribers need a clear reason to pay monthly beyond just 'supporting' the creator.
