# Pricing

Accountable's fees are **5% on incoming transactions (donations) plus £42 set up costs**. 

The set up costs cover our team’s time to get your group up and running. This includes: application process, due diligence checks, assisting with page set up and writing an expense policy, and conducting a training for your admins on how to use the platform. If your group can’t pay the set up costs upfront, we can arrange for this to be taken off once you have donations coming in.

#### Want to apply for formal grants?

🏦 We also provide a grant management service. This means you can apply for formal grants using us as a Host. We usually request a **7% fee on the incoming grant**. Please get in touch if you're looking to apply for funding. 

:moneybag:In some cases, groups can have their fees covered by their funders - so if you are planning on applying for grants it's always worth asking if this fee can be covered by them separately to the donation they are giving for your project.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://accountable.gitbook.io/about/about-accountable/pricing.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
