Calculate Stripe's fee on a card payment, or how much to charge to receive an exact amount.
About the Stripe Fee Calculator
Stripe's standard US pricing is 2.9% + 30¢ per successful online card charge, plus 1.5% for international cards, 1% when currency conversion is needed and 0.5% for manually entered cards. In-person payments with Stripe Terminal cost 2.7% + 5¢. To receive an exact amount, divide the amount plus the fixed fee by (1 − percentage), because the fee is charged on the total. Pricing differs in other countries.
The formula
Fee = amount × rate + fixed; to receive X, charge (X + fixed) ÷ (1 − rate)
