Explanation

How is the Stripe fee on $50 calculated?

Stripe uses a simple percentage-plus-fixed formula. For a $50 charge in the USA:

      Fee = ($50 × 2.9%) + $0.30

      Fee = $1.45 + $0.30

      Fee = $1.75

      Net = $50 − $1.75 = $48.25

The fixed $0.30 component becomes less significant on larger transactions. On a $50 charge it represents just 0.60% of the transaction value. For smaller amounts, the fixed fee has a bigger proportional impact.
