Fanbase Creator Earnings Calculator for 2026
Estimate your Fanbase creator payout from Love packs and subscriptions after the platform fee and the stacked Apple/Google in-app purchase cut.
How Fanbase Creator Earnings Are Calculated
Fanbase monetizes through 'Love' — an in-app digital currency fans buy in packs to support creators — plus paid subscriptions. When fans buy Love through the iOS or Android app, Apple or Google take their in-app purchase cut first, and Fanbase then takes its own platform fee from what's left before paying the creator.
Fanbase has publicly cited a platform fee of roughly 20%, but when purchases route through Apple's or Google's in-app payment systems, their store cut (up to 30%, or 15% under Apple's Small Business Program) stacks on top — which is why some reports describe an effective ~50% total cut on app purchases. Web-based or direct purchases avoid the app store fee entirely.
