Questions, answered.

A closer look at the fees and assumptions behind your estimate.

Which fees does the calculator compare?

The comparison includes base percentage and per-transaction fees, international card surcharges, subscription billing fees, currency conversion, and payout fees where the model applies them. Refund policies and dispute fees are shown for context; they are not added to the monthly totals.

Are these calculations exact?

These are estimates, not a quote. Actual charges can vary by country, payment method, volume, negotiated pricing, and provider policy. Check a provider’s pricing before making a decision.

What does Worldwide mean for customer location?

Worldwide treats every transaction as international in this model. It does not estimate a mix of domestic and international customers. Choose a specific customer region to compare it with your business region.

How are payout fees estimated?

The model assumes one payout per month. It applies each provider’s modeled payout rules to your monthly revenue using your business region and payout method. The assumption is for comparison and does not describe a provider’s actual payout schedule.

Which currencies and payment methods are modeled?

Amounts are shown in USD, using card-payment rates. Currency conversion fees follow the model’s regional assumptions; this is not a live exchange-rate calculator. It does not calculate separate rates for wallets or local payment methods.

Can I share a scenario with my team?

Yes. Your price, monthly sales, regions, subscription setting, and payout preferences are saved in the page URL. Copy the scenario link to open the calculator with those inputs already filled in.
