## How it calculates

The Stripe Fee Calculator uses the following formula to calculate fees: 

Fees = (Transaction Amount × Fee Rate) + Fixed Fee

Where: 
- Transaction Amount is the total amount of the transaction before fees. 
- Fee Rate is the percentage fee charged by Stripe (e.g., 2.9% for domestic cards). 
- Fixed Fee is a nominal fee charged per transaction (e.g., $0.30). 

In addition to standard calculations, the calculator can reverse-engineer fees to determine the gross amount needed to achieve a target net amount using the formula: 

Gross Amount = Net Amount + (Net Amount × Fee Rate) + Fixed Fee. 

This relationship illustrates how fees reduce the amount received by the seller, making it important for users to understand their fee structure when pricing their goods or services.

## Who should use this

E-commerce business owners calculating the net revenue from sales after processing fees. Accountants preparing financial reports for companies using Stripe to manage transactions. Freelancers estimating their earnings from international clients, factoring in currency conversion fees. Non-profit organizations assessing the impact of payment processing on donation amounts received.

## Worked examples

Example 1: A local online retailer processes a payment of $100 from a domestic customer. The standard fee for Stripe is 2.9% + $0.30. Calculation: Fees = ($100 × 0.029) + $0.30 = $2.90 + $0.30 = $3.20. Therefore, the retailer receives $100 - $3.20 = $96.80.

Example 2: A freelancer receives a $150 payment from an international client with a 3.9% fee and a $0.30 fixed fee. Calculation: Fees = ($150 × 0.039) + $0.30 = $5.85 + $0.30 = $6.15. The freelancer's net income is $150 - $6.15 = $143.85.

Example 3: A nonprofit organization wants to receive $500 net from donations. The fee is 2.9% + $0.30. To find the gross amount: Gross Amount = $500 + ($500 × 0.029) + $0.30 = $500 + $14.50 + $0.30 = $514.80. The organization needs to collect $514.80 to net $500 after fees.

## Limitations

The Stripe Fee Calculator has certain limitations that users should be aware of. First, it assumes that the fee rates provided are constant and do not account for potential changes in Stripe's pricing structure. Secondly, it does not consider additional fees that might arise from currency conversion or cross-border transactions, which can vary significantly based on the specific circumstances. Third, the calculator assumes that all transactions are processed without chargebacks or refunds, which can affect net income. Lastly, precision in calculations may be limited to two decimal places, which can lead to minor discrepancies in very large transactions.

## FAQs

**Q:** How does the calculator handle currency conversion fees?


**A:** The calculator does not automatically incorporate currency conversion fees, which can vary based on the currency and the financial institution used. Users must manually account for these fees if applicable.


**Q:** What happens if a transaction is refunded?


**A:** The calculator does not account for refund scenarios or associated fees, which may differ from initial transaction fees. Users should consider these factors separately when planning.


**Q:** Can I adjust the fee rates based on my Stripe account settings?


**A:** No, the calculator uses standard fee rates as defined by Stripe. Users with negotiated rates should input those manually for accurate calculations.


**Q:** Does the calculator provide an estimate for taxes on transactions?


**A:** The calculator does not include any tax calculations, as tax rates are dependent on jurisdiction and specific transaction circumstances. Users should calculate taxes separately.
