Fee Breakdown

Cost vs Revenue

Disclaimer: This Stripe US fee calculator provides independent estimates in USD ($) for commercial transactions processed by United States merchants. Stripe publishes its official pay-as-you-go pricing, card processing fees, currency conversion surcharges, and advanced product pricing (such as Stripe Billing, Stripe Invoicing, Stripe Connect, and Stripe Tax) on the official Stripe Pricing page. Actual fee rates depend on card origin (domestic vs. international), card entry method (online checkout vs. manually keyed), currency settlement, and product add-ons. Fee estimates do not include dispute charges, refund processing losses, or custom volume discounts. Always verify exact transaction fees inside your Stripe merchant dashboard before pricing your services or products.

What Stripe Fees Apply in the United States?

Stripe US fees include a percentage-based transaction fee plus a fixed fee per successful payment. Additional fees apply for international cards, currency conversion, invoices, subscriptions, and advanced Stripe products.

Payment Type	Stripe Fee
Domestic online card	2.9% + $0.30
International card	+1.5%
Currency conversion	+1%
Manually entered card	+0.5%

Stripe US pricing varies by card region, payment method, business model, Stripe product usage, and transaction volume.

Domestic Stripe Fees in the United States

Stripe US domestic payments use a 2.9% + $0.30 pricing structure for standard online card transactions.

Stripe Fee = (Transaction Amount x 0.029) + 0.30

Transaction	Stripe Fee	Net Revenue
$10	$0.59	$9.41
$50	$1.75	$48.25
$100	$3.20	$96.80
$500	$14.80	$485.20

Low-ticket products experience higher effective fee percentages because the fixed $0.30 fee affects smaller payments more heavily.

International Card Fees in the United States

Stripe US adds an international card surcharge when customers pay using cards issued outside the United States.

International card pricing includes base processing fee, international card surcharge, and conversion fee when applicable.

Payment Type	Estimated Fee
Domestic US card	2.9% + $0.30
International card	4.4% + $0.30
International + conversion	5.4% + $0.30

International transaction costs affect SaaS businesses, global ecommerce stores, digital agencies, remote freelancers, and marketplace platforms.

Currency Conversion Fees in the United States

Stripe US applies additional conversion costs when businesses settle payments in a currency different from the customer payment currency.

Currency conversion fees commonly apply to USD to EUR, EUR to USD, GBP to USD, and CAD to USD. Businesses accepting global payments often combine international card fee, currency conversion fee, and settlement exchange difference.

Stripe Product Fees in the United States

Stripe products add additional pricing layers beyond standard payment processing.

Stripe Product	Additional Fee Logic
Stripe Billing	Subscription billing fee
Stripe Invoicing	Paid invoice fee
Stripe Radar	Fraud protection fee
Stripe Connect	Platform fee layer
Stripe Terminal	In-person payment pricing
Stripe Tax	Automated tax calculation fee

US SaaS businesses frequently combine Stripe Payments, Stripe Billing, Stripe Connect, and Stripe Invoicing, which increases total payment infrastructure cost.

Reverse Stripe Fee Calculation

Reverse Stripe fee calculation estimates how much a business must charge to receive an exact amount after Stripe deducts fees.

Amount to Charge = (Target Net + 0.30) / (1 - 0.029)

Target Net	Required Charge
$100	$103.30
$500	$515.76
$1,000	$1,030.18

US freelancers, consultants, agencies, and creators commonly use reverse calculations to preserve exact payout targets.

Example Stripe Fee Calculations

Example 1: Standard US Card Payment

Payment	Stripe Fee	Net Revenue
$100	$3.20	$96.80

Example 2: International Customer Payment

Payment	Estimated Fee	Net Revenue
$100	~$4.70	~$95.30

Example 3: Invoice Payment

Payment	Processing + Invoice Fees
$500 invoice	higher effective fee

Stripe invoice products create additional percentage-based costs beyond core payment processing.
