Oh damn, I had this math all figured out and I can't remember it. Dreamhost takes out 5% + $0.30, I used to have a script lying around that would accept a number (how much you wanted to donate after the fees) and figure out how much you needed to actually donat. I remember that to donate $10, you have to actually donate $10.84, because 5% of 10.84 is $0.54, and the $0.30 makes $0.84, leaving the $10. I'll see if I can find it somewhere now.
Edit: I refigured it out, it's pretty simple, here is the math:
Code:
x = amount after fee (desired donation)
y = fee
y = ((x * .05) + .30) + (((x * .05) + .30) * .05)
total = x + y
I wrote a little script to make it easier (of course I did):

replace the ## at the end with the amount you want to donate AFTER the fees are taken out, so for example if you want me to get $10 after fees are taken out, replace it with 10. For 10 it will give you this return:
To donate $10 after fees, you'll need to donate $10.84.
(I just use 10 because it's a simple, even number. It's just an example : )
