How processing fee is calculated

Calculation

Payer

The amount paid to you is the full $100, after the processing fee is deducted.

Amount charged - (Amount charged X 0.015) - $1$100 paid to you

Amount charged = paid by invoice payer

Practice

The amount paid to you is $100 minus the processing fee.

$100 - ($100 X 0.015) - $1 = Amount paid to you
