Budget campaign fees without treating them as fixed facts
Campaign platforms can have different pricing, payment, pledge-management, and optional-service structures. Keep the applicable percentage as an editable assumption in your budget and document where it came from and when it was reviewed.
How to apply it
Instead of inserting a generic market rate, calculate the effect of a range. On a $70 tier, every one percentage-point change is $0.70 per backer before other costs. That makes the decision impact visible without claiming a current fee schedule.
Questions and decisions
Review the platform’s official creator terms for your country and campaign configuration. Ask whether shipping charges, late pledges, add-ons, taxes, refunds, and payment processing use the same treatment as pledge revenue.
Next step
Use the linked tools with your project’s documented inputs, retain the source or quote date beside the scenario, and update the decision when the specification changes.
