Pricing & Marketplace Fees
How does TLB's 15% marketplace fee work?
TLB charges a 15% marketplace fee to whoever receives the payment.
- Brands pay artists: the artist pays a 15% marketplace fee, deducted from their earnings.
- Artists pay creators: the creator pays a 15% marketplace fee, deducted from their earnings.
The person making the payment pays the agreed campaign price, and TLB deducts its fee from the recipient's earnings.

The recipient of the payment pays the fee. If an artist receives money from a brand, the artist pays the 15% fee. If a creator receives money from an artist, the creator pays the 15% fee.

No. The 15% fee is deducted from the recipient's payment. The person sending the payment does not pay an additional marketplace fee on that transaction.
How much will I receive after TLB's marketplace fee?
You receive 85% of the payment amount before any other applicable deductions. For example, if you earn £100 from a campaign, TLB deducts £15 and you receive £85.
