Formula Used

The total payment amount is calculated using the following formula:

Where:

• Service Amount - The base amount of your service
• Sales Tax Rate - The applicable sales tax rate for your service location
• Payment Processing Fee - The fee charged by your payment processor

This formula accounts for both the sales tax and the payment processing fee, giving you the total amount you should charge your customers.

Worked Example

Let's walk through an example to illustrate how the calculator works. Suppose you provide a service in Anchorage, Alaska, and your base service amount is $100. Alaska has a standard sales tax rate of 0%, but you're using a payment processor that charges a 2.9% fee plus a $0.30 fixed fee.

Using the formula:

In this example, the total payment amount is $103.20, which includes the $100 service amount, a $0 sales tax, a $2.90 payment processing fee, and a $0.30 fixed fee.

This example demonstrates how the calculator accounts for both the sales tax and payment processing fees to determine the total amount you should charge your customers.
