Stripe Fee Calculator

The Stripe fee calculator helps you estimate how much you will pay in payment processing fees and how much revenue you will actually receive after each transaction.

Stripe is one of the most widely used payment processors for ecommerce stores, SaaS businesses, and online services. However, even small percentage fees can significantly impact profitability, especially at scale.

This calculator allows you to quickly calculate fees, net revenue, and understand how processing costs affect your pricing strategy.

Whether you are running an online store, subscription business, or accepting payments through a website, understanding Stripe fees is essential for maintaining healthy margins.

Calculate Stripe fees

Understanding your result

The calculator shows how much you pay in fees and how much revenue you keep after Stripe processing costs.

This is critical when evaluating profitability, especially when combined with product costs, marketing spend, and platform fees.

Even small increases in fee percentage can significantly reduce overall profit margins when scaled across hundreds or thousands of transactions.

How Stripe fees work

Formula:

Fee = Amount × Fee %

Net = Amount − Fee

Stripe charges a percentage of each transaction, and often an additional fixed fee depending on region and payment type.

How to reduce Stripe fee impact

Optimising your pricing and cost structure can significantly reduce the impact of payment processing fees.

Examples

Example 1:
£200 at 1.5% → Fee £3 → Net £197

Example 2:
£50 at 2.9% → Fee £1.45 → Net £48.55

Example 3 (Scale impact):
£10,000 monthly revenue at 2.9% → £290 fees
