Mathematical Reverse Invoicing Derivation
Simply adding 2.9% + $0.30 ($3.20) to $100 yields $103.20. Charging $103.20 results in a fee of $103.20 × 0.029 + $0.30 = $3.29, leaving only $99.91 net. Our reverse formula ensures you receive exactly $100.00.
Cross-Border & Currency Conversion Surcharges
International credit cards incur an additional 1% cross-border fee. If Stripe performs automatic currency conversion on payout, an extra 1% currency conversion surcharge applies.
Fixed Fee Drag on Microtransactions
Because the $0.30 or €0.25 fixed fee is static, low-ticket transactions suffer a high effective fee rate (e.g. a $2.00 charge incurs $0.36 in fees, an effective rate of 18.0%).
#Frequently Asked Questions
Q:What is the standard Stripe processing fee?
For US merchants, standard domestic card processing is 2.9% + $0.30 per successful charge. European EEA domestic cards are billed at 1.5% + €0.25.
Q:How do I pass Stripe processing fees to my client?
Use the "I Want to Receive" reverse mode in this tool. It applies the formula Charge = (Target Net + Fixed Fee) / (1 - Rate) so that after Stripe deducts fees, your net payout equals your target invoice.
Q:Are refunded transaction fees returned by Stripe?
No. Under Stripe’s current policy, original processing fees are not returned when issuing full or partial refunds to customers.
