While we’d love to give you 100% of your bounty, we have to keep a small amount to pay our team and maintain the Bount platform. Additionally, our payment processing partner, Stripe, charges us for every transaction and payout which we must also account for.
A breakdown of these fees:
Fee | Amount | Purpose |
---|---|---|
Bount | 10% | Used to build, improve, and maintain Bount |
Stripe | 4-6%* | Billed by our payment processing partner, Stripe |
Let’s assume you’ve successfully claimed a bounty worth $1,000. Your payout could look similar to this:
Initial Bounty Value | $1,000.00 |
---|---|
Total Pledges Collected | $980.00 |
Bount fee (10%) | -$98.00 |
Stripe fee (4.15% + $0.55) | -$41.22 |
You earn | $840.78 |
The total pledges collected value may be slightly lower than the initial bounty value due to uncollectible pledges. On average, fulfillers are paid out approximately 85% of their bounty reward.
