Stripe fee answers

Calculate processing costs before you invoice

Use these plain-language answers to understand what the result includes, when each fee option applies, and how to use the net amount in your billing workflow.

Stripe fee calculator

Enter a payment amount to estimate the processing fee, the net amount you receive, and the effective percentage charged. Optional switches account for international cards, currency conversion, and manually entered card details.

Stripe processing fee calculator

A processing-fee estimate combines the percentage rate with Stripe's fixed per-transaction charge. Because of that fixed charge, smaller payments usually have a higher effective rate than larger payments.

Calculate Stripe fees before invoicing

Run the expected invoice amount through the calculator before you send it. The result shows how much of the payment remains after the selected processing costs so you can evaluate the payment method without changing the invoice math.

Online transaction fee calculator

Use this online calculator as a planning estimate for US Stripe card payments. Your actual account pricing, card mix, disputes, refunds, tax products, or negotiated rates can change the final amount.

Stripe fees for international cards

Turn on the international-card option when the card was issued outside the United States. Add currency conversion only when the charge currency differs from the card currency, so the two adjustments are not confused.

Stripe merchant fee estimate

The merchant-fee result is an estimate, not a Stripe statement. Reconcile the final payout against your Stripe dashboard and use the net figure here to plan cash flow or compare payment methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Stripe charge per transaction?

Stripe's standard processing fee is 2.9% + $0.30 per successful card charge. This applies to most US consumer cards. Additional fees may apply for international cards (+1.5%), currency conversion (+1%), or manually entered cards (+0.5%).

What fees does the Stripe Fee Calculator include?

The calculator includes the base rate of 2.9% + $0.30, plus three optional add-ons: international card fee (+1.5%), currency conversion fee (+1%), and manually entered card fee (+0.5%). These match Stripe's current fee schedule.

What is the effective rate shown in the results?

The effective rate is the total fee divided by the transaction amount, expressed as a percentage. It's higher than the base rate because the $0.30 fixed fee represents a larger proportion of smaller transactions. For example, a $10 transaction with 2.9% + $0.30 has an effective rate of ~5.9%.

Does Stripe charge different fees for different card types?

Yes. Debit cards typically process at a lower rate than credit cards. Rewards/premium credit cards have higher fees due to interchange fees. International cards add 1.5%. Currency conversion adds 1% if the charge is in a different currency than the card.

Can I reduce my Stripe fees?

You can qualify for Stripe's volume discounts at $80,000/month in volume (1.8% + $0.20) or $1,000,000/month (1.5% + $0.15). Using ACH bank transfers instead of cards costs just 0.8% (capped at $5). For subscriptions, Stripe's billing tools may offer better economics than per-transaction fees.
