Understanding Credit Card Processing & Fee Gross-Up Math

Online payment processors like Stripe charge per-transaction merchant fees. Knowing your exact fee overhead allows freelancers, SaaS platforms, and e-commerce stores to price products accurately.

Stripe Processing & Gross-Up Formulas

\[ \text{Stripe Fee} = (\text{Transaction Amount} \times 0.029) + \$0.30 \]
\[ \text{Net Payout} = \text{Transaction Amount} - \text{Stripe Fee} \]
\[ \text{Gross-Up Invoice Amount} = \frac{\text{Target Net Payout} + \$0.30}{1 - 0.029} \]

Step-by-Step Worked Calculation Example

Example Scenario:

Suppose you invoice a client for $500.00:

  • Standard Domestic Fee: ($500 × 0.029) + $0.30 = $14.50 + $0.30 = $14.80
  • Net Amount Deposited into Bank Account: $500 - $14.80 = $485.20
  • If you want to net exactly $500.00 (Gross-Up): ($500.00 + $0.30) ÷ (1 - 0.029) = $500.30 ÷ 0.971 = $515.24
