Explanation

How is the Stripe fee on $1,000 calculated?

Stripe uses a simple percentage-plus-fixed formula for every transaction. For a $1,000 charge in the USA:

      Fee = ($1,000 × 2.9%) + $0.30

      Fee = $29.00 + $0.30

      Fee = $29.30

      Net = $1,000 − $29.30 = $970.70

The fixed $0.30 component becomes less significant on larger transactions. For a $1,000 charge, it represents just 0.030% of the total — well under the percentage component. This is why Stripe is proportionally cheaper for higher-value transactions.
