What does taking cards really cost you?

A processor statement is pages of charges. Put in four numbers from last month's statement and get the one that matters: what you hand over on every $100. Then see what a quote from another processor would cost on the same month.

What it means

  • Of every $100 your customers paid by card, $2.73 went to the processor (2.73%).
  • Leaving the fixed charges out, the rate on the sales themselves is 2.50%.
  • The largest single charge is "Visa and Mastercard interchange and assessments" at $714.00 (62% of the fees).
  • On this month's sales the quote would have cost $1,031.50, which is $114.90 less: about $1,378.80 a year. Check the quote's contract length, cancellation fee and any charges not listed before switching.

Worked out only from the figures entered; one month may not be typical. A cheaper quote can carry a contract term, a cancellation fee, equipment charges or a rate that rises later: read it before you switch. Not financial advice, and we are not paid by any card processor.
