No, creator keeps 86-83%, so ~85c from every dollar

>the real cut for a creator on Patreon is often a stark ~14-17% depending on the exact scenario.

edit: now I get it, seems like you are native speaker and me and author are not, I guess correct way should be "cut from a creator" instead?

To my ears just rephrasing it as "Patreon's real cut is..." would sound most natural.
