Explanation

How is the Stripe fee on $300 calculated?

Stripe uses a simple percentage-plus-fixed formula. For a $300 charge in the USA:

      Fee = ($300 × 2.9%) + $0.30

      Fee = $8.70 + $0.30

      Fee = $9.0

      Net = $300 − $9.0 = $291.0

The fixed $0.30 component becomes less significant on larger transactions. On a $300 charge it represents just 0.10% of the transaction value. For smaller amounts, the fixed fee has a bigger proportional impact.
