Learn how your Butterfly balance works and where to track your earnings.

This guide explains what your balance represents, where to find it, and how to read the information displayed in Butterfly and Stripe.

Balance

Your balance is the total amount you have earned from subscriptions and paid content on Butterfly, before any platform fees or refunds are applied. It represents the money generated by your creator account through subscriber payments.

Where to find information about your balance

You can view your balance directly inside your Butterfly creator dashboard. For complete financial details, including pending funds and payout history, log in to your Stripe Express account connected through Stripe Connect.

Inside Butterfly, your earnings are organized into clear sections:

• Available Balance — funds already cleared and ready to be paid out.
• Pending Balance — earnings still being processed by Stripe before they become available.
• Total Earnings — the overall amount generated by your creator account.
