What £200 really costs

Charge £200 through Stripe in the United Kingdom and £196.80 reaches your account. The fee is £3.20: £3.00 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 1.6% 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 £200 therefore costs less than billing five times for a fifth of it.

Working backwards: to actually receive £200, you would need to charge £203.25. 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 £200 rises from £3.20 to £7.20 and you keep £192.80 instead of £196.80 — 3.6% of the sale against a headline 1.5%.
