Stripe Fee Calculator
Estimate what Stripe takes from a charge and what lands in the business after processing. This is useful for checkout modelling, quoting, and seeing how much you need to charge if you must land a target net amount.
Formula
How the Stripe calculator works
Stripe fee = (Charge amount × Fee rate) + Fixed fee
Net payout = Charge amount - Stripe fee
The calculator also works backwards. To land a target net amount after Stripe, it divides the desired net plus the fixed fee by one minus the fee rate.
Where this helps
- Setting checkout pricing when a processor eats a visible share.
- Checking whether a low-ticket sale still works after fixed fees.
- Grossing up a charge when you need a clean take-home amount.
Useful next step
Once processor drag is clear, compare it with PayPal and then test how much room remains for acquisition costs.
