Stripe Fee Calculator for United Kingdom
Estimate Stripe-style card processing costs, amount received, effective fee rate, and profit without saving inputs to a server. Inputs stay in your browser and are not sent to a server.
United Kingdom currency and assumptions
UK sellers commonly review fees alongside VAT treatment, GBP settlement, and whether a buyer is domestic or cross-border.
UK pages use GBP. The official region code is GB, while the public URL uses the user-friendly slug uk.
How seller fees are usually calculated
Card processors often use a percentage fee, a fixed fee, or both.
International cards, currency conversion, payment method, disputes, and custom pricing can affect the final charge.
Stripe pricing can differ by country, product, contract, and payment method, so unverified rules are not treated as official.
Formula explanation
Estimated amount received = gross sale amount - processing fees. Profit mode then subtracts product cost, shipping cost, and ad cost.
Reverse fee mode estimates the customer charge needed to reach a target received amount. Platform comparison mode applies the same sale inputs across PayPal, Stripe, Etsy, and eBay.
Example calculation
UK sample: enter GBP 100.00 customer pays, GBP 4.00 shipping charged, GBP 25.00 product cost, and your reviewed custom fee amount.
Sample values are for explaining the math only. They are not official platform fee rates.
Try GBP 100.00 as customer pays, then add shipping charged, product cost, shipping cost, ad cost, and a reviewed custom fee amount if you have one.
Custom fee override
Use custom fee override if your Stripe dashboard or official pricing page gives you a specific fee amount for the sale you want to model.
If the selected source data has not been manually verified, the result card shows “Fee data requires manual review.” In that case, custom override is the safest way to model a fee you have checked yourself.
Use your own fee rate if you have a current platform fee schedule. Unverified fee data is not presented as confirmed.
Source status
Fee data requires manual review before any rate should be treated as verified.

FAQ
How are seller fees calculated?
Stripe fees are usually estimated from the gross sale amount, fixed charges, optional international or conversion charges, and any custom fee amount you enter.
Why can the actual fee differ from this estimate?
Actual fees can differ because platforms may use account-specific pricing, card type, buyer location, category, dispute, refund, tax, subscription, promotion, or custom pricing rules.
Does this calculator include international fees?
International fees depend on card origin, seller country, and pricing terms. The calculator only applies them when reviewed data is available or when you enter a custom fee amount.
Does this calculator include currency conversion?
Currency conversion is not assumed by default. Add a custom fee amount if your Stripe transaction includes conversion or cross-border charges you have verified.
Does this calculator include VAT or sales tax?
VAT is not treated as verified fee data for United Kingdom. VAT and Making Tax Digital questions are outside this estimate. Confirm with HMRC or a qualified adviser.
Can I enter my own custom fee rate?
You can enter a custom fee amount with the custom fee override toggle. If you prefer to model a rate, calculate that fee amount from your checked rate first, then enter the amount.
