Formula Used

Total Percentage Rate
Total Percentage Rate = Base Fee % + Extra Fee % + FX Fee % + Platform Fee %

Total Variable Fees
Variable Fees = Processed Volume × Total Percentage Rate

Total Fees
Total Fees = Variable Fees + Fixed Fees + Dispute Costs

Net Payout
Net Payout = Processed Volume − Refunded Volume − Total Fees

Gross-Up Charge
Required Charge = (Target Net + Fixed Fee + Dispute Cost Per Order) ÷ (1 − Percentage Rate − Refund Rate)

This setup is useful when you want either an estimated payout from a known selling price, or the customer charge needed to preserve a target net amount.

Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does this calculator estimate?

It estimates card processing costs, fixed transaction charges, refund leakage, dispute expenses, net payout, effective fee rate, and the selling price required to hit a target net amount.

2) Why is the fixed fee important?

A fixed fee matters most on smaller orders. Even when the percentage rate looks low, the flat charge can sharply reduce your margin on low-ticket sales.

3) Can I enter my own pricing terms?

Yes. Every fee field is editable, so you can model custom card rates, regional surcharges, currency conversion costs, and app or platform deductions.

4) What does refunded volume change?

It reduces expected revenue after payment collection. This is helpful when you want a more realistic forecast instead of assuming every processed sale stays completed.

5) Does the tax option add tax automatically?

No. It treats the entered amount as tax-inclusive and separates the estimated pre-tax value from the embedded tax portion. It does not create a tax-on-top checkout price.

6) What is a gross-up charge?

It is the customer price needed to preserve a chosen net result after percentage fees, fixed charges, refund assumptions, and dispute costs are applied.

7) Are dispute fees always charged?

No. They only apply when disputes happen. This input lets you include expected dispute losses in your pricing plan or scenario testing.

8) Can this be used for subscription businesses?

Yes. Enter the average recurring charge and the expected billing count for the period you want to review, then model refunds and disputes with your own assumptions.
