How much does Stripe charge on $100 or $1,000?
Stripe's fee on a US payment, by how the customer pays:
| Payment | Card online | International card | ACH debit |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10 | $0.59 | $0.74 | $0.08 |
| $50 | $1.75 | $2.50 | $0.40 |
| $100 | $3.20 | $4.70 | $0.80 |
| $500 | $14.80 | $22.30 | $4.00 |
| $1,000 | $29.30 | $44.30 | $5.00 |
| $5,000 | $145.30 | $220.30 | $5.00 |
International card: a card issued outside the US, without currency conversion; conversion adds 1% more. ACH Direct Debit is 0.8%, capped at $5.00.
How it works
Stripe's fee is a percentage of the payment plus, for cards and Klarna, a fixed fee per successful payment. A domestic card or wallet payment online is 2.9% + $0.30; a card in person through Stripe Terminal is 2.7% + $0.05; Klarna is 5.99% + $0.30; ACH Direct Debit is 0.8%, capped at $5.00; a stablecoin payment is 1.5%. On top of that, Stripe adds 1.5% of the payment for an international card, 1% if currency conversion is required, 0.5% for a card number typed in by hand, and $0.10 per authorization for Tap to Pay. If you send the payment as a Stripe invoice, Invoicing adds 0.4%, capped at $2.00; a subscription on Stripe Billing's pay-as-you-go plan adds 0.7%. Each fee is rounded to the cent on its own. You keep the payment minus all of these.
Worked examples
- A $100 card payment online from a US customer: 2.9% × $100 = $2.90, plus the $0.30 fixed fee: $3.20 in fees. You keep $96.80. To keep exactly $100 you would charge $103.30.
- The same $100 paid with an international card that needs currency conversion: $3.20, plus 1.5% ($1.50) and 1% ($1.00): $5.70 in fees. You keep $94.30.
- A $1,000 payment by ACH Direct Debit: 0.8% would be $8.00, but the fee is capped at $5.00. You keep $995. A $200 Klarna payment costs 5.99% ($11.98) + $0.30 = $12.28.

How much should I charge so I receive a set amount?
Switch the calculator to 'Amount to charge' and enter what you want to keep. It finds the smallest payment that leaves you at least that much after Stripe's fees. To keep $100 from a domestic online card payment you charge $103.30.
Do invoices and subscriptions cost more?
Yes, both add to the payment fee. Stripe Invoicing adds 0.4% of the invoice total, capped at $2.00 per invoice. Stripe Billing's pay-as-you-go plan adds 0.7% of Billing volume. A payment is either a one-off invoice or Billing volume, not both; pick one under 'Costs and add-ons'.
What does this calculator leave out?
Dispute fees, Instant Payouts, Radar for custom pricing, Stripe Tax, Connect, Buy Now Pay Later methods other than Klarna, and custom or volume pricing agreed with Stripe. It uses Stripe's US pricing page; fees in other countries are not covered.
