How each platform’s fees are calculated

The formulas the calculator uses, with worked examples at $50 and $100 a ticket. Standard US rates, in USD, before sales tax. Where the organizer chooses who pays, the examples assume fees are passed to the buyer.

Eventbrite fees calculator

Formula: a service fee of 3.7% of the ticket price + $1.79 per ticket, plus a payment processing fee of 2.9% of the order total. Both are added to the buyer by default.

$50 ticket: buyer pays $55.20. $100 ticket: buyer pays $108.55. If you absorb the fees, you net $44.91 and $91.61.
