Formula & Mathematical Methodology: Payment Processing Fee Calculator

Fee = volume × percentage rate + transactions × fixed fee
net proceeds = volume − fee.
Fee = volume × percentage rate + transactions × fixed fee; net proceeds = volume − fee.
  • grossSales: User-entered gross sales (currency / month).
  • transactions: User-entered transactions (transactions).
  • feeRate: User-entered fee rate (%).
  • fee: User-entered fee (currency).

Rounding: Calculations retain full precision; displayed values are rounded for readability.

Worked Example: Example: Processing Fees

Interpreting the 3 Custom Visual Graphs & Key Outputs

As you adjust Display Currency, Gross Sales, Transactions, Fee Rate, the calculator immediately computes Calculated estimate, Supporting metrics, Calculator-specific visual comparison and updates all three domain-specific SVG charts in real time. Instead of relying on a single static figure, you can inspect the primary domain diagram, component breakdown, and multi-point trajectory curve to see how changing your inputs shifts the final result. Use the Compare (up to 3 scenarios) button to evaluate side-by-side variations before making a decision.
