When conducting transactions on Contra, it's important to understand the fees associated with payment transactions. Here's a detailed explanation:

Clients are charged a $29 fee per contract. For ongoing projects, the fee is $29 per month per contractor.

These fees cover compliant contracts, dispute assistance throughout the project, and commission-free global payments.

A Stripe processing fee is applied every time you make a payment to a contractor. This fee, typically between 3-5%, covers costs associated with secure and efficient transaction processing.

Client fees for contracts and invoices are waived when clients are invited by a Contra Pro subscriber to join a project on Contra. Learn more here.

Note that Stripe fees and taxes may still apply to proposals and invoices as these are implemented by our third-party payment provider, and the funds do not go to Contra.
