How much of the bounty do I earn? What are the fees?

Payout Breakdown & Fees

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

Stripe’s take is variable. For example, use of an international credit card incurs a 1% additional fee. Currency conversion also incurs a 1% additional fee. The average amount withheld for Stripe is between 4-5%.

Example Bounty Payout

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.
