Membership fees: what the association keeps

Enter the number of members and the annual fee: see what the association keeps on the Starter plan and on the Nonprofit plan, transaction and plan fees included.

How it is calculated

For each fee paid online, the Starter plan charges 2.9% + CHF 0.30 with no plan fee, and the Nonprofit plan 1.7% + CHF 0.20 with a monthly plan fee: CHF 15.- on the monthly term, 12.- annual, 10.50 for 2 years and 9.- for 3 years. On a CHF 50.- fee, the association keeps CHF 48.25 on Starter and CHF 48.95 on Nonprofit.

The calculator multiplies by the number of members, takes off the plan fee and tells you which plan leaves the association more. On the monthly term you can switch the Nonprofit plan on only in the months when you collect the fees. For donations and events as well, there is the Nonprofit calculator.

Frequently asked questions

When is the Nonprofit plan better value?

When the association collects enough in a year. On the 3-year term, the plan fee pays for itself from around CHF 7'700.- collected in a year, for example 155 fees of CHF 50.-. Below that, the Starter plan, which has no plan fee, leaves more.

Can I switch on the Nonprofit plan for just a few months?

Yes, on the monthly term: you switch it on in the months when you collect the fees, for example at the start of the year, and stay on Starter the rest of the time.

Do the features differ between plans?

No. Payment links, QR Pay, TWINT, cards and every other feature are the same on each plan: only the transaction fees and plan fee change.

How do members pay their fee?

With a payment link you send by email or WhatsApp, or with a QR code: the member chooses TWINT, card or another method and pays in a minute. For those who have not paid yet there are the payment reminder templates.
