Processing Fee Calculator

Compare editable processing, platform-fee, and optional donor-tip assumptions without entering payment information.

Illustrative comparison, not a provider quote

Default rates are editable demo assumptions and are not current Charity Charge pricing or a promise of savings. Replace them with verified terms before making a decision.

Use rates from a current provider quote or statement instead of relying on defaults.

Fixed fees matter

Smaller average gifts produce more transactions, so a fixed per-gift fee has more impact.

Tips are donor funded

The tip result is shown separately because it is not an organization-paid platform fee.
