What $200 really costs

Charge $200 through Stripe in the United States and $193.90 reaches your account. The fee is $6.10: $5.80 from the 2.9% rate and $0.30 from the fixed charge.

For scale, the same rate card takes 5.9% of a $10 payment and 2.91% of a $5,000 one, against 3.05% here. It never falls below the 2.9% headline, only closer to it, because the flat $0.30 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 $206.28. 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 international card (+1.5%) and currency conversion (+1%) on top of the same base, and they stack. With all of them applied, the fee on $200 rises from $6.10 to $11.10 and you keep $188.90 instead of $193.90 — 5.55% of the sale against a headline 2.9%.
