How the Square Fees Calculator Works
The Square fees calculator is a free tool available on Square's website that allows businesses to calculate the total cost of using Square. To use the calculator, businesses need to enter the total amount of sales and the number of transactions for both in-person and online sales.
The calculator then provides a breakdown of the total fees associated with using Square. For example, if a business had $10,000 in in-person sales and 100 transactions, the total fees would be $270 (2.6% of $10,000 + $0.10 per transaction x 100 transactions). If the business also had $5,000 in online sales with 50 transactions, the total fees would be $177.50 (2.9% of $5,000 + $0.30 per transaction x 50 transactions).
In-person transaction fees: Total sales x 0.026 + (number of transactions x 0.10)
Online transaction fees: Total sales x 0.029 + (number of transactions x 0.30)
For non-profit organizations, the formula for in-person transaction fees is:
Total sales x 0.022 + (number of transactions x 0.30)
