Frequently Asked Questions
What are Square's current processing fees?
Square charges 2.6% + $0.15 for in-person payments (tap, chip, swipe), 2.9% + $0.30 for online payments and invoices, and 3.5% + $0.15 for manually entered or card-on-file transactions. These rates are current as of September 2025.
How do I calculate my net earnings after Square fees?
To calculate net earnings: multiply your transaction amount by the percentage fee rate, add the fixed fee, then subtract this total fee from your original transaction amount. For example, a $100 in-person payment would cost $2.75 in fees ($100 × 2.6% + $0.15), leaving you with $97.25 net.
