What CA$250 really costs

Charge CA$250 through Stripe in Canada and CA$242.45 reaches your account. The fee is CA$7.55: CA$7.25 from the 2.9% rate and CA$0.30 from the fixed charge.

For scale, the same rate card takes 5.9% of a CA$10 payment and 2.91% of a CA$5,000 one, against 3.02% here. It never falls below the 2.9% headline, only closer to it, because the flat CA$0.30 is charged once per payment rather than in proportion to it. Billing a client once for CA$250 therefore costs less than billing five times for a fifth of it.

Working backwards: to actually receive CA$250, you would need to charge CA$257.78. 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 (+0.8%) and currency conversion (+2%) on top of the same base, and they stack. With all of them applied, the fee on CA$250 rises from CA$7.55 to CA$14.55 and you keep CA$235.45 instead of CA$242.45 — 5.82% of the sale against a headline 2.9%.
