    Fees can vary by country: https://www.kickstarter.com/he...

    For the US 8% to 10% comes off the top. It pays to be a middle man. Especially a middle man with a good reputation who brings in eyeballs.

    If your project is successfully funded, the following fees will be collected from your funding total: Kickstarter's 5% fee, and payment processing fees (between 3% and 5%). If funding isn't successful, there are no fees.
