How GoFundMe fees work
US personal campaigns pay a 0% platform fee — GoFundMe runs on optional donor tips. What reduces your total is payment processing, about 2.9% + $0.30 per donation. Many small gifts lose more to the flat $0.30 than a few large ones raising the same amount.
net = total − (total × 2.9%) − (donations × $0.30)

Frequently asked questions
Does GoFundMe take a percentage?
For personal fundraisers in the US, GoFundMe charges a 0% platform fee — it’s funded by optional tips from donors. What comes out of your total is the payment processing fee, typically 2.9% + $0.30 per donation. Enter your number of donations to capture the per-donation portion.
How much are GoFundMe payment processing fees?
Around 2.9% + $0.30 per donation on most US campaigns. That fixed $0.30 matters most when you have many small gifts — 100 donations of $10 lose more to the flat fee than 10 donations of $100 raising the same total.
What is the GoFundMe tip?
At checkout, donors are asked to add an optional tip to support GoFundMe. It’s voluntary and does not come out of your funds, so this calculator does not deduct it — only the processing fee reduces what you receive.
