Explanation

How is the Stripe fee on $5,000 calculated?

Stripe uses a simple percentage-plus-fixed formula for every transaction. For a $5,000 charge in the USA:

      Fee = ($5,000 × 2.9%) + $0.30

      Fee = $145.00 + $0.30

      Fee = $145.30

      Net = $5,000 − $145.30 = $4854.70

The fixed $0.30 component becomes less significant on larger transactions. For a $5,000 charge, it represents just 0.006% of the total — well under the percentage component. This is why Stripe is proportionally cheaper for higher-value transactions.
