What £1,000 really costs

Charge £1,000 through Stripe in the United Kingdom and £984.80 reaches your account. The fee is £15.20: £15.00 from the 1.5% rate and £0.20 from the fixed charge.

For scale, the same rate card takes 3.5% of a £10 payment and 1.5% of a £5,000 one, against 1.52% here. It never falls below the 1.5% headline, only closer to it, because the flat £0.20 is charged once per payment rather than in proportion to it. Billing a client once for £1,000 therefore costs less than billing five times for a fifth of it.

Working backwards: to actually receive £1,000, you would need to charge £1,015.43. That is the number to use when you are quoting a client a net figure or splitting a bill.

Those figures assume a domestic card with no currency conversion. Stripe charges currency conversion (+2%) on top of the same base. With it applied, the fee on £1,000 rises from £15.20 to £35.20 and you keep £964.80 instead of £984.80 — 3.52% of the sale against a headline 1.5%.
