Frequently asked questions
Indiegogo Fee Calculator — Net Campaign Funds
Estimate what reaches your Indiegogo campaign after the 5% platform fee and payment processing. Choose Fixed or Flexible Funding to see the relevant caveat, then confirm the current terms in your campaign dashboard.
5% platform fee
Uses the current published Indiegogo platform-fee estimate.
Processing shown separately
Models payment processing as 3% + $0.20 per transaction and labels it as an estimate.
Funding-model context
Explains why Fixed Funding refunds unsuccessful campaigns while Flexible Funding can keep eligible funds.
Worked example: a $10,000 campaign
A $10,000 campaign modeled with the current 5% platform fee produces $500 in platform fees. The 3% + $0.20 processing estimate adds $300.20, before refunds, taxes, chargebacks, or processor-specific adjustments.
Planning estimate: $9,199.80 reaches the campaign after the modeled fees.
How to use this estimate
- 1
Pick the funding model
Use Fixed Funding when the campaign depends on reaching its goal, or Flexible Funding when eligible funds can be kept below goal.
- 2
Enter the amount collected
Use the gross amount that actually reaches the campaign, not a target that has not been funded.
- 3
Check processor terms
Confirm country, currency, card mix, and campaign terms in the dashboard before launch.
What can change the result
Fixed versus Flexible
An unsuccessful Fixed Funding campaign can be refunded, while Flexible Funding can apply fees to funds collected below goal.
Small transactions
The fixed $0.20 processing component has a larger percentage impact when many small contributions make up the total.
Country and currency
Processor rates, taxes, and settlement rules can change the final payout by market.
Fees vary by processor, location, currency, and campaign terms. Treat the result as a planning estimate and verify the current Indiegogo schedule before relying on it.
Methodology & sources
This is an independent estimate. The calculator applies the rates shown in its breakdown; platform contracts, country, account tier, taxes, and promotions can change the final amount. Confirm the current terms before making a financial decision.
Rates and platform terms can change. Use the linked official source when available and verify the current terms before transacting.
