What A$250 really costs

Charge A$250 through Stripe in Australia and A$245.45 reaches your account. The fee is A$4.55: A$4.25 from the 1.7% rate and A$0.30 from the fixed charge.

For scale, the same rate card takes 4.7% of a A$10 payment and 1.71% of a A$5,000 one, against 1.82% here. It never falls below the 1.7% headline, only closer to it, because the flat A$0.30 is charged once per payment rather than in proportion to it. Billing a client once for A$250 therefore costs less than billing five times for a fifth of it.

Working backwards: to actually receive A$250, you would need to charge A$254.63. 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 A$250 rises from A$4.55 to A$9.55 and you keep A$240.45 instead of A$245.45 — 3.82% of the sale against a headline 1.7%.
