Quick answer

If you’re searching “stripe fees uk” or “stripe fee calculator uk”, start with the standard percent + fixed model. A common UK-card example is 1.5% + £0.20 per successful card charge, but your actual Stripe fee depends on card type, payment method, and add-ons.

Use the UK preset, then adjust to match your Stripe account: Stripe fee calculator UK.

UK fee formula (what to model)

processing fee = (amount × rate) + fixed fee
international add-on = amount × international % (when applicable)
FX add-on = amount × FX % (when applicable)

The calculator lets you include shipping and tax in the fee base and see net profit after costs. For a broader overview, see Stripe fees (2026).

Example (UK-card style)

For a £100 charge using a 1.5% + £0.20 model:

fee = 100 × 1.5% + 0.20 = 1.70

If the payment is international or requires currency conversion, add those percentages on top.
