How this simulation works
Each game is one of ten templates for a kind of work, filled with this platform’s real data where we have it. Anything we don’t know is either the typical value for its platform type or a plain assumption, and is labelled so below. Demand, job volume and luck are simulated.
| What | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Platform cutPublished: "10% for pages published after Aug 4, 2025 + processing (USD cards over $3: 2.9% + $0.30), legacy rates vary" | 12.9% + $0.30 | Platform data |
| Days before money can be withdrawnPublished: "On demand or automatic on the 5th of each month" | 30 d | Assumed |
| Minimum payoutPublished: "$10 via PayPal, $25 via Payoneer wallet" | $10 | Platform data |
| Buyer or advertiser pays per member | $5 | Assumed |
| Members per piece of work per month at the startMost pieces earn little; a rare one takes off. | 0.6 | Assumed |
| Chance a new piece becomes a hit (x10) | 4% | Assumed |
| Real-world benchmark (for comparison only)Varies widely | — | Typical for type |
A simplified simulation based on Patreon’s published rules, for learning only. It is not an earnings promise: real results depend on your skills, location, demand and Patreon’s current rules.
