FAQ
- Are my numbers sent to a server?
- No. The math runs in your browser and nothing typed is uploaded or stored.
- What does reverse mean for Stripe UK fees?
- You enter the GBP net you want after Stripe’s percent + 20p fee. The calculator finds the gross charge and fee, rounding up so your net is at least your target.
- Which rate does the reverse calculator use?
- The same tier you select in the dropdown—standard UK (1.5% + 20p) by default, or premium UK, EEA, or international rates from Stripe’s GB pricing page.
- Why round up the charge amount?
- Stripe charges on the gross payment. Rounding the charge up to the next penny avoids undershooting your desired net after the fixed 20p and percent fee are applied.
- Does this include VAT on Stripe fees?
- No. This models the published processing percent + fixed fee only. VAT or other invoicing details depend on your Stripe account and location—check your Stripe invoices.
