What £300 really costs

Charge £300 through Stripe in the United Kingdom and £295.30 reaches your account. The fee is £4.70: £4.50 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 1.57% 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 £300 therefore costs less than billing five times for a fifth of it.

Working backwards: to actually receive £300, you would need to charge £304.77. 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 £300 rises from £4.70 to £10.70 and you keep £289.30 instead of £295.30 — 3.57% of the sale against a headline 1.5%.
