Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate Square processing fees?
Multiply the transaction amount by your percentage fee rate, then add any fixed fee per transaction. Total fee equals amount times rate plus fixed fee.
What is net payout after Square fees?
Net payout is the transaction amount minus the total processing fee. It is the amount you keep after Square charges are deducted.
Why does a fixed fee change the effective cost?
A fixed fee is the same on small and large payments, so it makes up a larger share of small transactions and raises the effective percentage cost unless you model both parts.
