What you keep from each payment
Of every $100 you earn on 99designs, you keep $85–$95, before payment-processing, currency or withdrawal charges.
What this shows
A waterfall from what a client or customer pays to what reaches you. Each step down is money the platform keeps. Change the amount to see a fixed per-payment fee weigh more on small jobs, flip between the low and high end of a tiered fee, and overlay another platform to compare what you would keep there.
How it is calculated
Built from the published fee text with fee_parse(), the same rule as the fee calculator. A percentage cut is taken from the amount, then any fixed part ("+ $0.30") is subtracted. A range such as "5–20%" gives a best and worst case; tiered, per-category or per-client fees fall somewhere between. Revenue-share wording ("you keep 70%", "55% ad share") is read as what you receive. "Free" means the platform says it takes no commission. Card fees, currency conversion and withdrawal charges are not included unless they are part of the fee text.
