Fees
How earnings are calculated for experts on ReachVIP.
Platform Fee
ReachVIP charges a 20% platform fee on each paid response. When someone pays you for an answer, 80% of the payment goes to you and 20% goes to ReachVIP.
A minimum platform fee of $2.00 applies per transaction. This ensures we can cover payment processing costs. The minimum only affects payments under $10 — for payments of $10 or more, the standard 20% fee applies.
Payment Processing
Payments are processed by Stripe. Stripe charges processing fees on each transaction, but these fees are absorbed by ReachVIP's platform fee — they do not reduce your earnings.
Examples
Here's how a $50.00 payment breaks down:
| Requester pays | $50.00 |
| ReachVIP platform fee (20%) | −$10.00 |
| You receive | $40.00 |
For a $5.00 payment, the $2.00 minimum fee applies:
| Requester pays | $5.00 |
| ReachVIP platform fee ($2.00 minimum) | −$2.00 |
| You receive | $3.00 |
For payments of $10 or more, you receive exactly 80%. For smaller payments, a $2.00 minimum platform fee applies.
