Card fee calculator
What card reader fees cost your stall, by the week and over a season.

| PayPal Zettle2.29% + 9¢ a sale | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| Venda WalletSome banks charge businesses for Zelle® | $0.00 | $0.00 |
About 0 card sales a week. In-person rates, read October 25, 2026, from Square and PayPal. Typed-in cards cost more.
How it works
Each sale costs a percentage plus a fixed amount. The calculator divides your weekly card sales by your average sale to count sales, then adds both parts.
Why small sales cost more
The fixed part is the same on every sale, so a stall with lots of $5 sales pays a bigger share than one with $50 orders.
