We'll start by saying that Reliant has different administrative fees for different programs. The amount of the administrative fee in the support goal will in fact be more than the base amountflat fee. This because the goal needs to account for the fee itself. This The type of calculation needed for the fee to account for itself is called a geometric series. The fee is added to the goal, which in turn means a little more funds need to be raised, which makes the goal a tiny bit higher, which requires even a tiny bit more etc. It theoretically runs on infinitely, but as you go further the amounts get smaller and smaller up until you reach a negligible amount being added. In our case, we can stop when rounding to the nearest cent doesn't affect the amount. Here's an example with an adminstrative fee of 10% and an amount of $10,000 for easy math.
